TCC’s Bottom Line

Wrapped in a cool pony car body, the 2021 Chevy Camaro has sports car moves.

The 2021 Dodge Challenger muscle coupe is more than a one-trick pony. It looks great while going fast, too.

The 2020 Ford Mustang has natural agility, but new choices bring performance to every price point.

TCC Likes

Agile handling
Premium Alpha-platform components
Magnetic dampers balance ride and handling

Super speed
Super power
Super looks

Lots of safety features for the class
Design plays of Mustang’s greatest hits
Magnetic dampers aid both ride and handling

TCC Dislikes

Poor outward vision
Rear seat is tiny
Best for only two adults

Super thirsty
No active safety features
Top trims cost more than $90,000

4-cylinder seems wrong to muscle-car fans
Cockpit would benefit from materials upgrade
Tiny rear seat
