Chevrolet Camaro Wins Edmunds' Inside Line Muscle Car Comparison Test
April 15, 2009
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Inside Line, Edmunds.com's online car magazine and sister site
of AutoObserver.com
, announced Wednesday that the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS took first place in its latest comparison test of iconic muscle cars.
The comparison is described in full at the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT Comparison Test.
"Car enthusiasts can rejoice that all three of these legendary pony cars have made a comeback," says Jay Kavanagh, Edmunds' Inside Line Engineering Editor. "But the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS leads the pack with its combination of power, speed and attitude."
The Inside Line editorial team compared three similarly positioned performance coupes:
2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS (MSRP: $35,380, Edmunds.com True Market Value (TMV): $35,425) equipped with an eight-cylinder, 426-horsepower engine and six-speed manual transmission
2010 Ford Mustang GT (MSRP: $35,625, Edmunds.com True Market Value: $35,625) equipped with a eight-cylinder, 315-horsepower engine and five-speed manual transmission
2009 Dodge Challenger R/T (MSRP: $36,710, Edmunds.com True Market Value: $35,324), equipped with an eight-cylinder, 376-horsepower engine and six-speed manual transmission;
The second-place 2010 Ford Mustang GT offers impressive performance, but its styling lacks the "wow" factor according to testers. The third-place 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T has the most evocative styling, but trails in performance due to weight and poor tires.
Engaging discussions about this comparison are currently underway in the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS vs. 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T vs. 2010 Ford Mustang GT message board in Edmunds.com's CarSpace Forums
