Well i have the same 4 on my list.

The Challenger SRT priced itself out of contention.


The 370z test drive killed it for me. Not enough power.


So its down to the Camaro and Stang... the test drive will decide it for me.

Id be shocked if it doesnt add weight... which will adversly affect handling
