What's the general consensus on the big three muscle cars?

Updated: 29 Nov 2024

I was just wondering what your guys’ thoughts were on the big three American muscle cars. Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang. Like which ones do you like the most and what’s your ordering from top to bottom. My favorite is the Challenger’s, then the Camaro, and I really don’t like the newish mustangs (the back and front designs just don’t work in my opinion).

I personally like the 60s base version of each about 1000% more than the new base ones. But the specialty ones of each Hellcat, GT350R, and ZL1 are pretty damn hard to ignore. Basically I love them.

Base model: Mustang, camaro, challenger
Top model: 350r, hellcat, z28
60s: challenger, camaro, mustang

I’m a ford guy, so I’m pretty biased. But if I was to rank the challenger, camaro, mustang from top to bottom it would go mustang, challenger, camaro.

After driving the Mustang, it now feels and drives like a Euro sports car. The Camero is very close to that as well.

The Challenger is the only one I would call a true muscle car. Doesn’t matter how it drives, it looks good, it pulls with a Hemi and enough room to go eat highways on a road trip.

One of my all-time favourite cars is the first gen camaro, but I don’t think the new one has the presence of the Challenger. I would go Challenger, Camaro and then Mustang, even though I live in a country where the only one of these three you can buy new is the Mustang.
