Well, having driven a 2000 V-6 Mustang when it was a new and now an 09 Challenger SE when it is new, I would go with the Challenger. The statement that the Mustang is "altogether more entertaining to drive" indicates to me that the writer must have tried the cars on a closed course. The entertainment value of watching folks' reactions to the Challenger is so far beyond anything I have experienced with the Mustang (let alone ANY other car) and suggests that that there were no other people present when the writer tried the cars. Also, his comments about the looks of the Camaro are peculiar at best. In a lot of ways, the Camaro looks too much like too many other modern cars. Both the Challenger and the Mustang honor their heritage in appearance. The Camaro does not, in my opinion.
