The tail lights on it remind me of the robot from the day the earth stood still.
There's also nothing about the car that screams "I'm a mean muscle car and I'll tear you up." It looks more like it says "I'm a giant rectangle and I have no smooth flowing lines."

The only thing that doesn't look good on the mustang is the rear end and the tail lights. The camaro looks absolutely gorgeous with just a few tiny mods.
I mean seriously, how can you say the challenger looks 1000x better than this:

Because it is ugly.. Plus you're talking about a modded car Vs. a stock Challenger.
The Challenger is flat out the absolute best retro-modern car on the market. They nailed the look of that car, the only thing they f'ed up on is the preformance. I beat them every Friday at the strip.

No, he's problably talking about the 5.7 R/T challengers. Any newer mustang could eat them alive, especially with just a couple bolt ons. The srt's run mid 13's... and for a 425 horse car, that's pretty pathetic.

Yeah, the challengers definitely could have used a little diet.

The mustang and camaro I am kind of at a tie about, as there are things I like and dislike about both, but both are better than the challenger. Just something about it. Now these are all factory stock of course, once modded I approve of all these cars alot more.

You FAIL. I agree with what was said above.. Despite the fact that I hate Chryslers, I do agree that the Challenger is the most retro-looking of the retro-look muscle cars. Too bad they made them so heavy.

Since I've seen all three in person and really given it some thought, I think all three look good. The SRT8 Challenger would be the last one I'd pick, is a fat pig, and has a crap *** interior (same damn interior every chrystler/dodge has), but still looks good. The SS Camaro is one of the most wicked cars I've seen in a long time. The angles and body lines of that thing are super aggresive and very unique, if it was a Mustang I'd love to have it. The '10 Mustang is a big improvement, refined, more suphysticated (Sp?), and hopefully the new motors will enforce that. I think each one caters to a little bit different subset of muscle/pony car buyers.

They are not fast when they are stock. And the fact that they weight almost as much as a truck doesn't help them either. Add in to that equation that most people can't drive for their life and you get a slow *** car at the track.

i think the new challangers are ugly as ****.
i had high hopes for them, but every time i see one of those fatass no-chinned challangers lumbering down the road like an ocean liner i just shake my head.
i mean, its headlights stick out further than the bumper.
this is what the challanger looks like.
