The Chevy Camaro has staked its claim on musclecar superstardom for more than 40 years behind the allure of V-8 power.
With four- and six-cylinder engines, its appeal is a little broader, which snares it some newer competition.
The Nissan 370Z and Hyundai Genesis Coupe both excel as V-6-powered sports cars, though the 370Z has better handling and decades of heritage behind it.
The Dodge Challenger has a fearsome 707-horsepower Hellcat edition, but that power's not always tractable--and the Challenger's size keeps it from the top echelon in handling.
Ford's Mustang has just never been better: its new independent rear suspension gives it the stable transitional handling it's never had, even if the clunky fun of the live axle is history.
It's the Camaro's direct rival—and it's going to be a hell of a dogfight watching these two battle for supremacy.
