Of the Big 3's current new halo muscle cars, which one would you take home?

I'd take that GT350 to listen to a 8,250rpm redline.

GT350.

Z/28 is cool, but I don't particularly like that bodystyle and it's very hard to see out of. Also, it's just a little too much on the road—Trofeos, carbon rotors, etc.

I hate the Challenger bodystyle. It does nothing for me. I love the new Charger, though.

GT350 should be a great streetable car that can handle itself on the track, just like the 302. It's the GT3 to the Camaro's GT3 RS.

Prob Camaro, it's supposed to be an incredible drive. After that, Mustang.

(I'd pick the Mustang tho)

Ford, its the only one made in the USA. The big block in the Camaro is awful tempting though.

Methinks the mustang will be the same way. Plus I like the way the camuruhh looks.

EL_ULY > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 09:55

also torn between the Z/28 and GT350 mostly because i don't know too much on the Stang. I love the Hellcat because of what it is and stands for compared to the others who seem to be joining the foreign car clubs. 700+ HP and badassness is always good! But so is progress. i can't choose. Like always

Sorry, but the GT350 does nothing for me. Between the Hellcat and Z/28 for me, and that is actually a pretty tough choice to make, all things considered.

If you would of asked me 2 days ago I would of said the hellcat. But after the news of the high revving flat plane crank I'm gonna have to say the GT350.

claramag, Mustaco Master > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 09:59

GT350. It seems like the sort of Mustang to keep around 20-30 years down the road, like the 69 Mach 1 fastbacks, SVO Foxbodys, or SVT Cobras

I'm really hoping a year out of college they'll be priced reasonably enough, and not yet insane collector's item priced

Because Trofeos, 7 liter, Carbon ceramics, TR6060, etc etc.

You dont need to see behind you, why look back at the losers?

I hate chysler's build quality (the inside of our $35,000 2015 jeep is far inferior to my 2008 GMC sierra base V8). The Z/28 is a track car. So I'll take the gt350.

Jcarr > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:04

GT350 because I think it'd be the most livable of the three and that sound....

Thunderface > Jcarr 11/18/2014 at 10:05

That sound......*crisis*

I figure as long as ford doesn't give it a limited run a la Boss 302 and keeps making them they won't be too pricy

God I hope I'm right

Tripper > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:09

I like the Mustang and the Camaro almost equally. You can burn the fat one that can't stop telling everyone how many horsepower it has.

Milky > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:10

The camaro costs $75k and will be outdated in a year so thats out and the Brostang will always be ruined for me by all the douches around metro Detroit that have one. Not to mention they are all 4 thousand pound 2+2 cars, I gotta imagine the Hellcat is better on the street. Plus with some more tire in the back you're into the 10's.

I really don't like the Camaro, on top of that I have a hard time seeing out of it to. The Hellcat is a great and crazy car, but I love the GT350! It's everything I've wanted in a Mustang. Plus I need to hear it scream at 8200RPM's! That's insane! It's hard to believe an American manufacture is making a production FPC. I just find it so much cooler and more exciting then the other two.

njp1589 > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:14

Part of me likes the big, comfy, and stupid-powerful Hellcat. It would probably never stop making me laugh, and would be the kind of car I'd like to take cross country.

But damn, that GT350 is handsome and makes some very pretty noises.

DoYouEvenShift > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:26

Side and front isnt bad, but most competent drivers wont notice. Rear is a bit limited to say the least.

GhostZ > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:46

2

I just think it's fucking ugly, and I'd rather be in second place (though we have no idea if the GT350 is actually slower) and in the Mustang than the Z/28.

GTRZILLAR32-Now saving for Godzilla and a condo > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 10:59

GT350 mostly because I think it will pretty much shit on everything else with a proper set of sticky tires. Ford has always made good cars that punch above their weight class and I don't think it will be any different here, especially if you throw some good better rubber on it.

I'll take the Hellcat. Easy decision. I like the Z/28, but the Hellcat just does more for me. The GT350 is still shitty, in my opinion.

Saracen > Thunderface 11/18/2014 at 11:48

Hellcat = still fat.

Z/28 = still ugly.

GT350 = the best looking, the lightest, revs like a Ferrari. Yep, I'll take it.

GT350, but I think Chevy's halo car is the C7 Z06.

A thousand? I didn't realize the GT350 was 400 pounds lighter then the GT. Must of missed the part where the bigger engine was actually made from carbon fiber.

Z/28 because Stielow.

TopSirloin > Thunderface 01/18/2015 at 12:28

Shouldn't the GT350R be the one slotted against the Z/28? The Hellcat is the odd one out here..

Between the z/28 and GT350R, I'd probably take the Mustang, if it's soley for track usage. If we're talking DD, then it'd probably be the NFG Hellcat, because creature comforts. As great as the Camaro and Mustang would be on the track, I need A/C, comfy seats, etc.

GT350 with the Hellcat in second. The power in the Hellcat would be great fun for daily use, but my word would the Shelby be epic fun on the track. Don't particularly like the body style on the Camaro.

If we were playing Fuck, Marry, Kill:

Fuck: Hellcat. You all know my scarring via Chrysler Cordoba, which stays with me to this day. That said, I'd like an hour or two with this whore...

Marry: GT350. Always liked Ford of all the US automakers and I like the looks of this.

Kill: Z/28. Had a bad experience with a GMC. Not really kill-worthy, but process of elimination puts it here...

You are comparing two track machines, to a dragster. At least compare the Hellcat to the ZL1 and GT500.

Thunderface > MichaelRTJ 09/06/2015 at 07:28

That’s the point, as they’re currently the top of the line for each car.

They may be current, but they’re not at all comparable. They simply serve different purposes.

Yep. But I compare them anyways.
