The Mustangs big advantage is its weight once the Camaro catches up weight wise with it their advantage is gone. It just depends how long Chevy is going to keep the Camaro this size we may not have another even match up until the 6th gen Camaro or they may just add more horsepower to the 5th gen to even it out. I think the SS and v6 will probably get upgrades in power next year for sure the SS im not sure about the V6 though its not bad the way it is.
As far as the Challenger goes I like the looks of the Challenger alot its a great looking car. But when it comes to performance with the Challenger you can forget about it. The car is just too heavy and is like a boat. It doesn't do you much good to have a engine like a hemi in it if the car weighs as much as it does. While its neat that the car looks almost exactly like the old Challenger its also a hindrance to the car performance wise. The only way the Challenger will even be considered a threat to the Camaro or Mustang is if they make it lighter with another generation which would be a first body style change for the car. It's pretty much just Camaro Vs. Mustang right now. I've heard about the new 500hp SRT8 coming out too but it won't be enough to compete due to its weight.

Ok, since this isnt a Camaro vs. Challenger thread, I wont answer those comments.
And since this isnt a Mustang vs. Camaro thread..I wont there either.
All I will say is that no one knows anything from pictures, and we wont have any solid answers until GM offically releases information. Until then it is merely speculation based on a few pictures. If we're going off of pictures alone then we must conclude that the Z28 is inferior to a Mustang convertible due to the fact one was pictured infront of the "Z28".
Thats all I'm saying, no one who knows is going to talk, and those who talk, dont know.
