The New American Pony cars, your thoughts?

So what do you think of the 'new' Amercian pony cars, more to the point the 'reto' redesign of the Camero, Mustang, Challenger, etc...

What's been the reliability on these things. The Dodge Challenger RT looks badass.

 

I lkie the new Mustang V6. It makes around 300 horses which is more than enough for the streets and is lighter than the V8 which is overkill IMHO. Ford offers the best package of the 3 you mentionned.

Don't care much for the Camaro and the Challenger is a fat straight line turd and drinks more than an injured racer watching his buddies on the track.

 

Love 'em! Wouldn't buy one though.

 

I've driven them all and would consider the Mustang. It would have to be the V8.

 

I do think they are cool though.

 

Pete, my R/T 6-speed is rock solid. Still dead nuts reliable after 3+ years of borderline abuse.

 

Want me to show you how to drive that for ya?

 

I think that the best looking of the bunch is the Challenger. Shame it's heavy and slow compared to the Stang and the Camaro.

I think that the Camaro is too cartoonish, the damn roof looks squashed. Sitting inside one is like sitting in a bathtub with a low ceiling.

The Mustang is good looking and pretty fast, the only issue being that you see one on every street corner, no head turning.

 

Quick photo op with a customer's Boss 302.

If you're looking for a fun, big car, get the Challenger.

If you're looking for a fun, faster, smaller car, get the Boss.

If you're looking for an ugly, small on the inside car, get a Camaro.

 

I enjoyed my `10 Mustang GT 5-speed.

Until the 18-wheeler played Pachinko with us on I-20.

 

Good summation.

 

The Camaro is still a chick car.

The Charger doesn't look as good as the Challenger but I prefer the interior of the Charger and the looks of the new Charger have started to grow on me. Both look awesome in the R/T trim.

I like the looks of the Mustangs for sure.

For me the Challenger is still the best of the pseudo-retro models.

 

Or you can go full re..(oh, we can't say that anymore) and get the Mustang 1000 for a cool $200K

 

Pete, you better win the fooking XR1200 Championship!

This could get expensive for ya.

 

Batshit crazy Steve has one of those GT mustangs, 350 I think. His is just evil looking.

 

uh, they aren't supposed to handle like a lemans car, its what they were made for, point and shoot, and yes the srt is thirsty, like it should be

 

It's still just a Mustang...

 

I like the front of the Mustangs and the side and rear of the Challenger.

 

I totally agree. For $200K I'm getting a used GT40 with plenty to spare for a Porsche 930.

 

Now we're talkin.
