Car and Driver Magazine has posted up their grudge-match article weighing in on what modern musclecar is worth your coin? To spoil your reading, they think the new Mustang takes first place, Camaro second, and lastly is the Challenger.

Reasons? Find out in the jump!

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T - Comparison Test
Highs: Classic bod, smooth controls, big inside, snick-snick six-speed.
Lows: Corners on custard, too heavy, drab cabin, tires off the church bus.
The Verdict: The most authentic ’60s re-spin of them all.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS - Comparison Test
Highs: Fastest through the trap, grip and zip in the gymkhana, fresh and inventive interior.
Lows: Looks angry, tiny trunk, hard seats, nose-deep-in-a-hole feeling.
The Verdict: A neo-Corvette underneath the Deathmobile from Animal House.

2010 Ford Mustang GT - Comparison Test
Highs: Lighter and tighter in every way, good visibility, fab 1-2-3 turn signals, the king of V-8 roars.
Lows: Only a five-speed, capless fuel filler frequently spills, smallest fuel tank.
The Verdict: Yeah, we’re shocked, too, but this Mustang rocks.
