Dream Cars : Camaro vs Mustang vs Challenger

Defying the oddsmakers, though, America’s three trick ponies are back. And they’re back big. Those days of yore are indeed long-gone. but only because the new incarnations of the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang are so far evolved from their famed predecessors they’re recognizable almost by name only.

Sure, the old cars looked cool and made lots of noise and got the girls, and some could even lay down a righteous longitudinal blast when the road arrowed straight. But none could match these current machines for blistering speed, cornering ability, braking power, driveability, reliability, and comfort. I mean, when I was 16, we didn’t have fancy computers to make our cars run like winged chariots, and we didn’t have in-car iPod adaptors (unless you count the Tijuana Brass on eight-track), and we sure didn’t have…never mind. You whippersnappers today don’t know how good you’ve got it.
