Camaro SS vs Scatpack vs Mustang GT.. What are the Drawbacks of each? 

Can't go wrong with these 3. Owned my 19' SS 1LE since 2018 and it's still a blast.

The challenger is the only one that actually looks like a 70s classic muscle car

I love them all and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Anyone who claims any of the three sucks is a fanboy or a hater. I went with the mustang because it’s a very nice balance between comfort, handling and retro. Obviously for the best chassis the Camaro wins and for the most comfortable and retro challenger is the move (and would be my number 2 pick for sure!)

I like them all! I'm a car guy and love the difference that each one brings but I'll always choose the mustang as my personal favorite! 🇺🇸

Nice video, The reason why the Mustang feels unstable and can get sideways quick is all the rubber bushings in the Rear Sub-frame and IRS components. They just squish and deflect and were designed for comfrot. Get a BMR lock out kit and it will feel like a totally different car. Made a huge difference on my 15 GT. Along with lowering springs and wider wheels and tires.

As much as I love all 3, I will always have a very soft spot for 6th gen Camaros... Definitely have a ZL1 in my future.

The 2024 Mustang GT still has the MT-82. And there isn't anything wrong with it. I have one, and I've known many people with them - flawless function, no reliability issues, etc. The only people complaining are idiots on the internet who don't tell you that they also add a blower to the car & don't strengthen the transmission, then complain when it breaks. There's a reason the lawsuit got thrown out of court.

So glad I got my t/a 392, I'm only 20 right now so I can't wait til I'm 40 still with this beast, obviously want a hellcat but gotta be financially smart. Regardless...MOPAR OR NO CAR!!

Great points! Based on looks, I love Challenger, but its just not worth the risk w/ so many being stolen. The last Mustang I really loved was 2011-2014. I'm a sports car guy, so i'd go lightly optioned Camaro LT1 and get most HP/$ on the lightest platform.

I've owned all 3, a 16 hellcat challenger, ZL1 1LE, 20' gt500 I enjoyed the hellcat the most as a daily. The zl1 drives the best and is the best overall performance value imo, but the visibility and claustrophobic interior can be hard to get used to. The Shelby was the fastest and felt the most special. I currently own Tesla S Plaid as my daily and the ZLE m6 for the weekend toy.

#1. Mustang, #2. Challenger, #3. Camaro in That Order. Good Show.

Just something to recognize in cars that I dont think people understand is that having a sunroof in your car actually lowers the headliner a bit, giving you less headroom, as it needs to have room for the mechanism and rails.

I’m 6’4 and I fit just fine in my Camaro, it’s all about how you adjust your seat and the back seats, well those are just for show 👍🏽

I own a 17 GT and love it. Luckily the owner before me modded it perfect. Bigger tires, Borla ATAK exhaust, Roush Cold Air intake and Bama Racing Tune. Plus I live in Albuquerque, home of Hellion Turbo packages for mustangs so if I ever decided to make it a monster for around $12 grand, that could be an option. I just added a Throttle body spacer and cosmetics and it’s perfect. The fact that it’s so easy to mod Mustangs is what makes them great to me. Not gonna lie I’m biased, always been a Ford and Toyota guy. But the Challengers are no joke. I rarely see Cameros.

Great video! I put Steeda subframe connectors and a bigger rear sway bar on my 18 GT. Those mods and 10.5” wide wheels with 305’s have really stabilized the car on hard acceleration. Still love the Challenger and Camaro!

Great video. I was looking for a comparison video like this about a week ago. However, all three cars are great but I love the 6.4l scatpack. Its so much fun

Fair assessment of all 3 cars Racer X, thanks

Im glad I never let the visibility concerns keep me from buying my 21' SS. Im pretty risk averse person, so I was definitely worried about the reputation, but even at 6 feet tall the visibility was never even a problem on the test drive. It definitely is different, especially when going back and forth between it and my other car, but its not really a problem as long as you have good mirror placement. The platform is a performance dream otherwise, the combination of power and handling at that price is untouchable.

RacerX Content is always super great.

Great video keep up the good work can’t wait to see your first video on that dark horse mustang you ordered

I was looking at the three of these cars last September and I ended up buying the Camaro. I felt the driving experience was, by far, better in the Camaro than the Mustang and the Challenger for what I want to do. Take that with a grain of salt; everyone has their own driving preferences. I like fast, twisty roads and the Challenger felt like a boat and the Mustang felt a little too slippery in the rear for my comfort. The visibility and ergonomics are something you get used to pretty quickly, in my experience. The only thing that I can agree on is the rear seats, close to useless outside of anyone taller than five feet. It is a tight fit, too, so if you are a larger person, this is not the platform for you.

If you’re going boost, 5.0 If you’re going N/A, Camaro If you’re staying stock and cruising, 6.4 challenger

That's why I got a5.7 more room for the buck. I'm already pushing 415 and nothing internal done yet.

Great video Racer X.

Very good information bro💯

Nice vid! Any one of them are fantastic, certainly couldn't go wrong withy the three. However, I drove them all and bought my favorite...

Awesome video thanks 😊

As someone in Plant City who has cross shopped all 3, I bought a 2023 Mustang GT Premium with the 10 speed. Was the best all arounder for me. Also shout out to Jarrett Scott Ford, they're the only other dealer here and they're great too.

Great video, I think you hit everything heads on. I own a Mustang and everything you said about it was dead on

Nice video Bro. They are all great! That said, my Mustang is VERY stable. It's all because of the tires. My car's back end doesn't fishtail unless I want it to. I don't use the stock Pirelli tires. I replaced them with BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S W speed tires that grip like Spider-man. I also replaced my clutch assist spring to offset some of the badness of the stock MT82 manual. It does. I also haven't had the 2nd Gear or 3rd Gear lockout issue people often talk about.

I love all 3. Used to have a 2010 SS. When my teenagers get out of the house or at least become self sustained. I may have to get a scat pack.

The king posts again 🔥🔥🔥

Solid, honest review. Love all three, warts and all, but my car is and has been (since '88) the Mustang.

I own a scat pack, but damn I love the look of the Camaros a lot. If something happened to my scat pack, I’d really consider getting an SS. I don’t mind the cramped interior or back seat space or trunk. I wouldn’t be getting it for comfort, passenger transportation, and storage space. I realized I don’t really ever use the slightly extra room in my scat pack

I like all 3 but I live in Minnesota. Owned a 2020 GT500 for a couple of years. The predator engine was fabulous. Had to give it up because I needed the garage space for a car that could function in the winter 🥶. Nevertheless Hellcat vs ZL1 vs Shelby - you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Great video Bud! I'm partial to the Challenger, however, I must say, your Mustang is looking pretty good. It has an aggressive stance and front fascia that I find more appealing than the Camaro. However, for the overall aggressiveness and retro look, IMO the Challenger takes the cake.

I have a 2021 Challenger. I didn’t like the Mustang or Camaro, you nailed it RacerX on the Mustang with little headroom and the Camaro with headroom and trunk space. I still have to use a car as a daily driver and the Challenger fit my needs.

I like them all but I don’t like when people judge gt500’s or stock Gt’s because nothing beats a supercharged mustang gt. Fuel and boost. That’s it! 850 safely to the wheels. Don’t have to do cams and all this other bs. And you’ll walk a gt500. Boost and fuel that’s it.

They are all great ! 🙌

I'd have to go with either LT1 or SS in rapid Blue A10.

I had a mustang GT and it was so much fun! I miss it so much. I honestly would be happy with either one of these amazing machines!

Great review as usual. I’m an older guy and like the space of my Grand Cherokee as well as the 5.7 and aftermarket exhaust. Even as dated as it is, I’d be happy with the Mopar. A Mustang GT convertible would be my second option. Keep up the good work!

Nice vid man 💪🏻

I like all of them but if I had to buy one I would get the Mustang maybe because I had a 1988 and loved it . They are built so much better now . The Challenger is to dangerous to own in Chicago right now my friends 392 got stolen 3 times already. Good review by the way.

I think the Mustang still gets my vote. I had a Camaro and loved it, except the visibility was terrible. The Challenger is really cool, and I love Chevy's (great power and puts it to the ground really well) but there is just something about the Mustang. I have driven my dad's quite a bit and It is just more liveable safer feeling option over the Camaro, so I will be shopping for one this summer. I know the Mustang can get a little squirrelly under hard acceleration, but I don't drive in way that will cause that to be a concern. Also, I love the Mustang look. It has really grown on me over the past few years. The others are good, but the Mustang is my fav.

Good stuff X

Good video. Your rite wish I could change the dash colors on my challenger and the dodge would have done the heads up display like chevy.

To get the Mustang stable their are several things you can do. First is wider rear tires , a wing , a strut tower brace , bigger sway bars , possibly lower the car . Staggered wheels are a must tho 👌🏾 .

Naturally aspirated 1-Mustang 2-Scat 3-Camaro Supercharged 1-Zl1 “perfect for track and decent power” 2-Gt500 “straight line beast and decent on track” 3-Hellcat “Straight line Goat, doesn’t turn”

Absolutely love my gt. Had a fat ass scat and didn't like it after awhile. I installed an mgw shifter and fp track susp kit and now my gt is heavenly!

Based on these 3 specific cars it would be interesting which of the three would be the all around best GT vehicle-which could one take on a cross-country trip/rally and be most comfortable. Quick observation would lead me to think the Challenger. Big seats; capable powertrain; chassis derived from a much larger vehicle. 🤔

My 2SS Camaro has no blind spots thanks to the rearview mirror with a live camera feed. As well as the blind spot lights on the mirrors. When I had my 2020 LT1 I added the corner mirrors to give me more visibility.

Love how you made the window button on the Challenger look like it weighed a ton to put up the window. It’s just a button lol

I love my 2022 Challenger Scat Pack with the dynamics package. I test drove a Camaro SS and visibility is definitely an issue. I didn't feel safe driving it. Plus I'm 6' 2 and barely fit in it. My hat was rubbing on the headliner.

2018 Mustang GT owner here. I have the 6 speed manual and have had absolutely no problems with it. It’s super smooth and I can redline the gears. Ford really improved it in 2018. It’s not a Tremec but unless you abuse it, it works fine. Just a few mods and this car is a beast. Super quick. Also, adding some Steeda suspension parts mainly the subframe brace took care of that instability in the rear. Best car I’ve ever owned.

I got a chance to drive all three as base models at one point. The one thing that really stuck out to me was just how much more I could see out of the mustang. Blind spots were virtually nil in comparison to the other two. Granted, I suppose you could get used to it in the Camaro and Challenger, but it's such a drastic difference that I couldn't justify getting anything else when I could get 9/10's of the performance and be able to see everything in the ford. But then I remembered that I already own an '89 Camaro, giggled to myself a little bit, and let it go. I'm already having too much fun with my little 305 and my 5 speed. I don't need more.

You're so right with the tires, if I had any of these I would put 305 at least on all corners because it's just unthinkable to put less than that on a car that can spin the wheels so easily, especially the Challenger because as you've shown and we've seen before, even on third gear or at 60+ mph you can still lose traction if you so wanted. Also I mean this cars are made for fun, they got the power, they got their own quirks with the way the drive but what they all have in common is fun. You might think thin tires might be more fun because you can break traction easily but if we're being honest 305 tires don't prevent that, even 315 I think it is won't prevent it at all, it's just so you have to be aware you're doing it every time and won't spin around by accident because you pressed the gas 0.2% more than what you though lol

I have the 2ss convertible so i dont have blind spots as i have the blind spot sensors, the rear view camera, and a drop top. Obviously if u get a more track focused version of the camaro the visibility issues are a definite knock on it.

I hate that the challenger doesn't have auto up windows and that they don't come HID lights for the scatpack, I mean come on bro for 46k

Hey Racer X I’ve been a fan for a really long time, I live in Florida and I really want to drive your Mustang😩

Good review

The GT for 2024 still has the Getrag MT82, sadly... Have to spend $60K+ to get the Dark Horse to get a Tremec

Camaro please.

I have a Camaro ss and a jeep srt. And I always been a Chevy guy. But boy oh boy that 6.4 N/A is something else in that low end pocket. Punchy ass hell . Damn near tear your neck off lol . If your modding 5.0, and Camaro much better platform though like you said

I have a 22' Camaro 2SS with upgraded suspension, breaks and exhaust. I'm 6'3 and don't have any issues. Love going on drive's to back canyon roads, handles like a dream and I feel fewer people have Camaros so you get lot more looks versus the Challenger and the mustangs being everywhere. The 2SS package is definitely worth it for comfort and daily, I really feel the 2SS with upgraded performance options gives you the best of both worlds.

If I was in a different position financially I would buy a manual Scat Pack Challenger today. I prefer normally aspirated as it’s simpler and I’m not looking for a track car, just a fun daily. Unfortunately, my wife just recently got a 2023 Explorer Timberline for the practical family car instead. By the time I’m able to get a new car any Dodge V8’s will be long gone. That pretty much leaves the Mustang S650 in a couple years.

What's wrong with a prob rod. Struts fail all the time. Probs work

Thanks for calling out the interior size difference. After a great performance at a track day with my Scat, I had several people tell me well I'd do in a lighter car. (Duh) But at a broad 6'5", there are very few options, especially once you add a helmet. Also, the Challenger lacking a B pillar can help with side visibility (and shoulder room) when the seat's all the way back.

Sorry man! Mopar all the way. I’m keeping my Scat Charger and Hellcat forever. Oh and TRX! Not switching brands. Excellent content Mr Sir X!

The challenger keeps the looks of nostalgia-rides very well and no one leaves factory rubber on them.

I live lakeland not far from this lot. Very cool.

I driven all of these and have owned a version of each, but the 22 Mustang GT PP1 with the magna ride is definitely the best handling car of the 3by far! No doubt! Is the Challenger easier to drift accurately yes! But giving grip and track the Magnaride is the bomb! The Camaro is the closet but to me the Mustangs magna ride is hard to beat

Jumped from Dodge Challenger SXT Plus to a Mustang GT this year. I loved my Challenger but I really love my Mustang!

In my opinion The Camaro SS has more torque than the mutang GT and a little quicker from a stop but the mustang GT is faster on the top the challenger V8 is really really torquey and it pins you back but it's slow in a race because it's heavy and all

245s are under tired for the Challenger, especially in the wet. That being said, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Personally I'll be going to 275s when I replace them and call it a day. You can drive it and get into it pretty hard with the stock tires. You just can't jump on it hard from a stop or in the wet.

Challenger for me. Wow stingray in Plant City had some really nice cars.

For me I like the Challenger the out of these 3. Just wish it was easier to mod the engine

I had a 2000 Mustang V6 model and I was disappointed about it because the speedometer had 120 on it and it only did 115. Then I got me a 2015 Camaro RS V6I feel in love with it. I could go with automatic or manual on the car because it had the paddle shifter on the steering wheel. It was way more powerful than the 2000 Mustang V6. I race a few V8 Mustangs and I ended out ran most of them.

I have a 2019 mustang gt Manuel and I’ve never had a problem with it,maybe be slower then the 10spd but shifting your own gears hits different

Based on safety I bought a last cal scat pack. Not a big fan on Fishtailing and blind spots

🏆Racer X 🏆🍀

But speaking from experience, I’ve had all 3 still have my 6th gen LT1, the camaro feels the best to me performance wise, it feels the most balanced especially on wet and icy roads but all three cars are great nonetheless!!!

6 speed zl1 for me someday. I grew up with mustangs from dad and him being a mechanic. I'll always have a soft spot for them but I prefer the camaro. My buddy is a gm guy too and he wants a 5.0. Would be awesome for hopefully someday of me and him getting and building each to have fun in and run each other.

I’m 6’4 over 300lbs, the Mustang has plenty of room once inside. I had a boosted 2020, I never felt unstable.

That's exactly why I got the Camaro 2SS Convertible... Kills the biggest drawback too!

Lol I had a challenger scat pack for 6 years and I never even noticed it didn't have the auto up window I actually thought that was not legal for safety reasons

Great video, I would add that the Camaro is the best car for the track.

The Camaro trunk opening is smaller to retain structural rigidity.

I think the Mustang GT premium is the best. I love my 2021 with the red interior. I have about 500 hp with mods

I just got a 2019 mustang gt 6spd and it feels good to me, if I plan on keeping it stock would that make the 6spd last longer, just curious why you say they are bad and what the common issue is

Mustang 1 (very aggressive look) Camaro 2 (quite decent aggressive look) Challenger 3 (looks like a box with wheels and an engine)

I’m a Chevy guy I daily an 03 Monte Carlo ss it’s the first car I bought!! But I feel each are cool and good cars I love the looks of the challenger as it’s retro, the mustang is as American as apple pie and is aggressive, and the Camaro is also aggressive looking and love the LS engines cause they are cheaper and great the upgrade! All three of theses cars are in my dream car list

I have a mustang here in the uk and in the wet the back really is unstable but I love the car build quality is well below European and Japanese cars but I still love driving it

Love my challenger!

Does the Mustang still have toe in angle on the rear wheels?

The only reason your 60foot is up so high is 2 fold, first your twin turbo set up takes a while to spool, next your stall on the converter is hampering your launch. I have seen numerous gen 3 Mustangs launch and hit 60ft in 1.3 or 1.4 on drag pack but power adder was a positive displacement supercharger. The positive displacement supercharger is king with 10R80 mustangs for fast launches. Just my thoughts.

my personal favorite is the challenger but all 3 look great! people be hatin, just get what you like.

mopar might be the slowest, but theyre the more practical of the three with the fact that its more comfortable, has bigger trunk space and you can use all the seats. i love all 3 but if it came down to it id get a charger or challenger

I already subscribed a looooong time ago, lol

To me handling is the most important feature in a car. Really wanted a V8 for long term reliable. Went with a 22 Camaro 2SS 1LE with the 6 speed. This thing is amazing going mountain carving. Would never consider a Dodge, and I have already had a mustang. The mustang while nice cant come close to the 1LE, even with the pp1.
