muscle car (go fast in a straight line and look cool) with a smaller engine does not make it a sports car (fast with tight steering and great handling).

base model as in v6? Mustang. The other two are heavy and underpowered w/ v6

srey

Yes it's more in my price range and I want to get it before the base is a v4

monkeycowboy

Are you looking new? What's your price range?

srey

4/17/14 8:55am

Im looking new or within the last 2 model years. Price range is 30,000 and below

monkeycowboy

Any particular reason it needs to be that new? You can get a lot of car for 30K

srey

4/17/14 9:16am

No particular reason, if anything it's just to have the latest and greatest or

The four cylinder will be making more horsepower than the V6 thanks to ecoboost.

I know but there is something so wrong with the sound of having a v4

monkeycowboy

4/17/14 9:44am

I totally agree. But, if power is what you're after...

Slap yourself for putting V6 and muscle car in the same sentence.

BluePete

4/17/14 8:55am

No, slap the Big 3 for putting V6's in muscle cars.

srey

I don't think we define fast the same way.

BluePete

The EPA and the creators of CAFE are the ones who deserved to be slapped.

I'd go with Challenger 5.7 liter Hemi

I've always preferred the looks of the Challenger over the Charger.

John Doe

4/17/14 9:01am

But I really like the looks of the new Camaro.

John Doe

4/17/14 9:02am

Me too that's why charger isn't on the list

monkeycowboy

4/17/14 9:07am

Challenger is fastest and costs the least..

CarolinaCoug

4/17/14 9:03am

The v6 challenger is slower than both the v6 mustang and v6 camaro

srey

4/17/14 9:06am

yes. and teh point of a muscle car is to have muscle, which eliminates all 6's

CarolinaCoug

The Camaro V6 still puts out 325 HP.

The age-old argument among car enthusiasts is Hp vs Torque...

BluePete

4/17/14 9:14am

If it's a 2015, I'd go Mustang. Pretty impressive stats for a V6.

chago04

4/17/14 9:17am

I'm not sold on the 2015 mustang.

monkeycowboy

4/17/14 9:23am

Have you driven one yet? I liked it a lot more when I got behind the wheel.

chago04

4/17/14 10:28am

live rear axle is an improvement, 40 years late, so what?

CarolinaCoug

4/17/14 1:47pm

srey

CarolinaCoug

srey

Correct. and?

CarolinaCoug

I don't know why anyone would want a base model of any of those.
