Why should I also consider these?

The Dodge Challenger is a plus-sized pony car when compared to the Mustang.

The Dodge's interior is larger, and its base V-8 offers more horsepower than the Mustang's only V-8.

However, because the Mustang is smaller and lighter, the performance difference isn't as lopsided as one might expect; plus, the Mustang is less expensive.

At the time this Bottom Line was produced, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro hadn't yet gone on sale.

The V-6 Camaro will be thousands of dollars more expensive than the base Mustang and may compete performance-wise with the Mustang GT.

The interior of the new Camaro is also larger than the Mustang's, but not as large as the Dodge Challenger's.

While not a direct competitor, the rear-wheel-drive Nissan 370Z (all-new for 2009) begins at just under $30,000.

At this price point, it's a competitor with the American pony cars.

Of course, the Nissan is a more focused sportscar, and accordingly, it gives up the practicality provided by small rear seats and a proper trunk.

The Mustang is currently available as a coupe or convertible, which won't be offered by Dodge and is still in the future for the Camaro and 370Z.

Additionally, the Mustang's optional glass roof, SYNC, and Sirius Travel Link further separate the Ford from these competitors.

After what felt like an eternity of waiting, the 2010 Chevy Camaro is here—and it's good.
 
2009 Dodge Challenger
Let the burnouts begin! The Ford Mustang finally has another domestic competitor.
 
2009 Nissan 370Z
The Nissan Z has never occupied the top spot in the performance world—and it doesn't now—but it's still a great performance car that starts just under $30,000.
