TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chevy Camaro's no single-minded musclecar--there's good gas mileage and entertaining handling to be had, if you tick the right boxes.

The retro-themed 2013 Dodge Challenger is actually a comfortable touring coupe, but it can play to all the tire-scorching musclecar expectations when a Hemi's under the hood.

TCC Likes

Classic but contemporary looks
• EPA estimated 30 mpg highway for base engine
Balanced handling gets better with 1LE

Retro-modern look
SRT8 feels ready for the drag strip
Ride comfort

TCC Dislikes

Visibility an issue even in convertibles
There's not enough head room
There's not enough rear-seat leg room

Exhaust note can be fatiguing
Back seat is tough to access
Too-light steering
