The Chevrolet Camaro SS faces some stiff competition from the 2018 Mustang, but it’s also spent several years as the best driver’s car in this class.
The Dodge Challenger can’t handle worth a damn, but with a 707-hp model and looks that can kill, does anyone really care? The Ford Mustang is an authentic sports car, but the BMW M2 is an authentic sports car from Germany.
Aging but no less capable, a Nissan 370Z Nismo is a no-frills alternative to the Mustang.
If it's not outright speed you're after, consider the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota 86; they're nearly identical and they're both very sharp to drive.
They're considerably cheaper than a Mustang, too—but definitely not as fast.
