It Finally Begins!
 
It Finally Begins! I for one can't wait to have these magazine issues as hermetically sealed keep sakes. This must be the cover story on every major rag.

I love this line!

almost exactly 20 years since I drove my first ponycar...I'd managed to borrow a Pontiac Trans-Am. It was metallic brown, with the 245-hp L98 under the hood. And it was the biggest piece of crap I had ever driven...The body had the torsional rigidity of overcooked linguini, and the steering was approximate at best. It rode like a Conestoga wagon, and cornered like a drunken sailor. The brakes caught on fire after just five hard miles on the Angeles Crest Highway.

Popular Mechanics chimes in liking the Challenger better than MT.

RT verse GT verse SS
 
Not that there is anything wrong with the RT and the GT. They are both fine cars but I find it funny how they take the Top of the Line Camaro (SS) to go against the middle-tier Dodge and Ford cars.

All three are nice cars but show me a Challenger owner and I will show you an owner with a grin from ear to ear!

I was glad to see one comment that the Camaro is harder to see out of than the Challenger. That's why whenever I know I'm going to be in heavy traffic, I use my Mustang. ;)

There's only one thing to see and it's nothing in front of you but asphalt;) who cares about what's behind us!:) Most likely it's just a little Mustang, or Catmaro anyway lolol.

The retro styling of the Challenger really stands out.
The rear of the Mustang looks like the Ford Probe...
The Camaro is down right sad,,,LOL

You obviously don't live in a big city full of crappy drivers. ;)

To quote Raul Julia (Franco Bertollini-Ferrari Team) from the 1976 movie "Gumball Rally":

Franco: And now my friend, the first-a rule of Italian driving.
[Franco rips off his rear-view mirror and throws it out of the car]
Franco: What's-a behind me is not important.

Well the general must have deeper pockets because based on price the SS Camaro with 6.2 liters making 426hp weighing 3900 pounds is being compared to the 5.7 R/T. Someone needs to run the SRT8 against the SS and surely it will handle better than the GT.
