#1 of 5 Comparison - 2010 Camaro SS vs. 2009 Challenger SRT8 vs. 2010 Shelby GT500 by KarenS HOST Aug 13, 2009 (8:34 am)
Action movie sequels always have bigger explosions and a faster-moving plot than the original film. They also have evil-er villains and bigger budgets. Which gave us an idea...   Finding Finesse in Muscle

All three cars are awesome! I just wish they were in my price range
#3 of 5 flawed test by 360cuda Aug 23, 2009 (10:06 am)
Edmonds can't seem to keep thier tests honest. First you test the 426 HP SS against the weaker and less expensive GT & RT. No comparison, the less powerful cars do not have a chance. after the averave Joe complains, you finally test the three top cars. Now I am not saying that the results do not warrent the judging. I am however sayint that you can't seem to keep your record straight. in one of your comparison tests you put the Challenger Vs the Bullt. in that test the Challenger ran 5.1 0-60. in another test the challenger ran 5.5. you either have lousy drivers or just doon't care about the accuracy of the testing. I spent 4 months researching the SS and the SRT, deciding which one to purchase. The GT 500 wasn't in my budget. this brings me to my second criticism of you. While I liked the SS and the ride quality. it didn't handle any better than the Challenger, not to mention the limited cargo space. the challenger can fit 4 comfortably. hase a very large trunk, and also has a 5 star safety rating. my third criticism is the claim that the Camaro SS is cheaper. When I was shopping, the SS equiped with the same equipment as the SRT cost 41k. add a 5k dealer mark-up and it was over 46k! I purchased a 2009 6 speed challenger for 44k fully loaded (minus the NAV system) I like all three cars and believe the Mustang is the fastest car, but the challenger has a much nicer ride, has the best looking and feeling interior and can actually be driven on a long trip without sacrificing ride quality or how much luggage you can take. One more thing, I am not a professional driver. yet I have been able to post a 0-60 time of 5.06 and a 1/4 mile of 13.16 106MPH.

Replying to: 360cuda (Aug 23, 2009 10:06 am) Were you comparing the interior of the 2009 mustang or the 2010? Big difference. Replies to this message: 360cuda (Aug 24, 2009 6:37 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Aug 24, 2009 6:18 am) The 2009, when I purchased my Challenger, the 2010 Mustang wasn't available. The Camaro was just ramping up. So I only had the Camaro and the 09 Mustang to compare to. If there is a big difference than good for Ford. My Boss has a 2009 Mustang with the Glass roof. The exterior is beauitful but the interior looks so cheesy and has a cheap feeling. As for the Challenger interior, Internet photos does not do it justice.
