Other Choices:
Since 2002 when the last of the Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds rolled off the assembly line, the Ford Mustang has had no pony/muscle car foes to compete against. Some may be tempted to compare the Mustang to front-wheel-drive coupes like the Pontiac G6 or the Scion tC, but those are apples-to-oranges comparisons. With the introduction of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, finally, the Mustang has a rear-wheel-drive foe to battle, even if the Dodge only competes with the expensive Shelby GT500 and GT500KR models—for now. This year (2009), Mustang will compete against a full lineup of Dodge Challenger models (with V-6 and V-8 powerplants), as well as the 2010 Camaro. The ‘60s are back with a vengeance, and as an added benefit, these muscle machines can take on the twisties as well as they devour pavement in a straight line. Giddyup!

Beware of '09 Mustang GT
I had mine for 2 months. I didn't drive it for 2 days and the battery died. The dealer service dept. told me that it has many "modules" and is an "intelligent" car And that it has to be started and day. I wrote Ford customer service and they concur with this. This is ABSURD!!! I had to get a jump start from my cleaning lady's 18 year old "dumb" car. If I were to go on a trip, leave my car at the airport and get back 3 or 4 days later, my battery will be dead. Also confirmed by Ford customer service. No wonder the American auto industry is in trouble.

Beware of crazy commenter.
That has to be the dumbest comment I've ever read. Seriously now, does anyone think they would build a car that runs its own battery down in two days? I would never believe this story unless I had the specifics. What dealer did you buy this car from? What Ford customer service person told you this was normal? Now on the other hand, if you left your lights on, yeah, I could believe it.
