Camaro SS: $30,995 / $31,490
Challenger R/T: $30,945 / $38,270
Mustang GT: $28,845 / $34,330

The bottom line is this. Every car is the best car on the road based on the preferences of its owner. I myself happen to own my dream car a Dodge Challenger RT Hemi 6 speed. You may own a Camaro, the other guy may own a Mustang. And so on. Every car is Special to the owner. There is no right or wrong car. They're all unique from the driver's view of the road.

Yea youre right, i was starting to think i made a mistake on getting an rt challenger instead of the SS camaro, but i love my challenger, to me its fast for all that weight it has and well to me the interior is way better than the camaro, my 2013 you can knock on the dashboard or door and solid, camaro well chevy in general knock on it and its all hollow and just sounds like really cheap material, but to me those 2 are my pick, mustangs are nice but not a big fan of them

Well the 5.0 doesn't run a 12.8 anyway. It's more like a 13.3-13.5 with an average driver and 13.1 with a good one. And no you're wrong. The SRT8 Challenger is not the same tier as this car, and it beats it anyway so I don't know where you get your facts. The SS is almost 300 lbs heavier, so what are you saying? They run the same time?? Camaro is 12.9-13.4 range as well so no, it's not demolished. Smh.

All these cars are awesome but different. To me the camaro is the best looking best sound, the challenger is the most comfortable and the mustang has great performance but lacks a little in both looks and comfort

The Camaro has outsold the other 2 cars simply by being the best with sales at 500,000 cars sold and counting. This answers the question which car people are buying and it's not the behemoth Challenger or the ugly Mustang.

@GTO19020 Also note, if you read that article, it isn't even a completely fair match up. That is, the camaro as tested had more options (as the higher price as optioned reflects). Three such options of interest are the IROC package, 5.7L V8 and rear disc brakes. This is in comparison to the Mustang GT's base options.
I prefer the mustang because its the best looking and most iconic The challenger is not a muscle car if you ask me that thing is a boat over 4100 pounds wow. And the Camaro was played out once it got used in Transformers.

Yep no comparison. My 2013 SS Camaro blows away my 2009 Mustang GT in every metric. I love my GT - it's a beautiful and fun car but it doesn't hold a candle to my SS. Straight line, track, handling, comfort etc etc - the SS owns the driveway.
This comparison needs a refresh for 2016!!!!
That must be why Camaro sells more than Mustang and Challenger... OH WAIT.. MUSTANG IS KING.

Are you serious? The RS Camaro is a v6. The r/t is a 5.7 and the SS is a 6.2... Both are not supercharged... Just because the Challenger is heavy as fuck, does not mean you put the RS. Because then you put the V6 mustang in which would have been slow as fuck the 2010 year. THE SRT8 Challenger is supercharged. And in that case would mean you compare the ZL1 with the LSA and the Shelby. Smh.

@ardoinjc What camaro did you drive? If I'm not carefull, I spin the tires getting to 1st. 1st to 2nd gear is like a flash compared to the other gears.
been a week since i bought my White Camaro SS Synergy with grey stripes. best decision yet in my life.
Mustang says : I think i'm a race car driver Challenger says: I want look like a bad ass but not get in trouble Camaro says: I'm fucking awesome
They should have waited a year for the 5.0 mustang. Whole different ball game. This 4.6 was impressive though.
The new 5.0 is hardly considered outdated. 6 speed transmission, 420 n/a hp, more torque than most European cars with the same displacement and decent gas mileage. The chassis is well refined as well. Some people complain that it lacks irs, but it really handles very good. Boss 302 laps an M3
2 years later and I'm still laughing at this comparison! A 315 hp car vs two 400+ hp cars... hahaha! Once the 5.0 showed up, you guys weren't smiling anymore.
Dam for being a 4.6 it wasn't that behind
Camaro is orgasmic. I really wish they sold them here in Australia for less than 100K second hand !!!

I think it's funny how much everybody argues on here especially considering more than 75% on the comments are by ppl who don't even own or have even ever driven these beasts. There all equally bad ass
The Camaro SS, Mustang GT, and Challenger RT are in the same category. That is the point of THIS video comparison; they are comparing apples to apples. Whereas the SRT8 is Dodge's top dog (I hope it could beat the SS and GT). However, put the SRT8 up against the Camaro ZL1 or the Shelby GT500 and the SRT8 loses.
at the end of the day doesnt matter whats faster or better, gotta love that American MUSCLE
whoa whoa, hold on. Im a "kid these days" and I am nothing like that guy. Please dont put me in the same category as that fool.
I test drove all 3 of these cars, and I bought the Camaro. The Challenger was my 2nd pick, but I got a better deal on the Camaro. Also the Chevy dealer was willing to take the stripes off for free, unlike the Dodge one. :)
I did check my facts and the production car that i am refering to is a vette that has a 0-60 of 1.9. Which if im doing my math right, 1.9 is less than 3.3, correct me if im wrong on that. And the fastest street legal car is a nova, running 6s in the 1/4. And if you want to get technical with it, mustangs were designed to appeal to women not race.
Well each had a personality all its own too!!! And somewhere along the way, cars lost that! But out of curiosity what would be the more affordable retro pony and muscle car?? I'd be interested to buy one!
Anyone else sick and tired of hearing what people would do with their cars if they had a race against the cars in the video?
Mustang and camaro has changed much in 2019 but in challenger not much has changed in it but only performance.
Which one sounds best?
I didn't expect to best a camaro SS brand new with exhaust! I traded in a Bullitt for my RT and love it, get looks all day long, put a short throw hurst comp. 6sp shift kit and it's stock, I killed 2 370z easier, by the way to be honest for the Chevy guys, the camaro started to catch me at least twice above say. 80 or 90 he was gaining on the heavy challenger (2012 with super trac pac)
There's no accounting for taste. Everyone has their opinion on their favourite muscle car :)
Don't hate on the challenger. She gives retro a good name and packs some serious balls under the hood with that Hemi. The challenger breathes classic out its exhaust
Okay, I can understand that. I mean I like them all because as the Big Three they're in America's corner and ofcourse I love old school muscle. I admire Ford precisely as you said, they made the tough decisions before hand and were able to ride out the recession without asking for a bailout.
