2023 Muscle Car Comparison - Who’s Winning? Dodge vs. Chevy vs. Ford Performance & Sales

  • Today I wanted to take a look at all of the muscle cars from the big three American manufacturers. We will do a full in-depth comparison of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger from the current generation, looking at the features, engines, power output, and more, and then we will look to the sales figures of each vehicle and see who’s actually winning the muscle car wars these days and outselling the competition.
    Bonus: What is a muscle car? I’m using the definition which states a few points that make a vehicle a muscle car, including a large V8 engine, RWD, being manufactured in the United States (or by an American manufacturer), two-door body, and being designed for drag racing while remaining street legal. So the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger best fit that definition. The Charger is omitted as it has the four doors, and other cars that you might argue could be a muscle car, like a Corvette or AMG C63 or BMW M4 and so on are ruled out as they fall under the personal luxury cars, which are too expensive to be considered a muscle car by most people.

    Dodge is beloved by all but the mustang sounds incredible and always seems to have staying power . Chevy won't listen to customer criticism and keeps stopping production on the Camaro instead of giving their customers what they ask for . Put the chevy on a serious diet , reinvent their 6.2 liter to produce more naturally aspirated hp , and improve visibility and the Chevy wouldn't have problems selling .

    People should really look up "definition of a muscle car", because I swear for some reason people still get it backwards, and confuse this way too much because of some stupid notion that big, heavy and brute like means muscle car, regardless of anything else. The irony is the fact that the car they are likely referring to isn't a muscle car per actual defintion of a muscle car, mainly because it's not even built in America. If we followed the definition of "big heavy brute", than we would have many cars from Europe being considered muscle cars easily.

Fair and honest pricing doesn't exist in this world or economy, hating Ford is redundant. The Dark Horse is priced according to what it would sell on the market for against it's rivals which are in the same price range, and of course for it's exclusivity and performance overall, that's the reality.

    People can argue that some of the trims are muscle car like but mustang is straight up a pony car and Camaro is closer but too small IMO. Sports cars are light and muscle cars are big heavy brutes. Also how can we consider some cars muscle cars when the base engine is a 4 cylinder? Turbochargers also aren't muscle

    • @leofhr2966
      @leofhr2966 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Muscle cars by definition aren't something as simple as "big heavy brutes". In fact the actual defintion of a muscle car according to the describtion they gave them in 1966 was "a group of American-made two-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving". Ironically by that defintion the Challenger is not a muscle car since it isn't "American-made" as it's built in Ontario Canada. Guess which car is tho...Camaro and Mustang... how amusing.
