Dumb article title.

But there are a couple videos that address different aspects of these cars.
Handling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo59k0EI7EA
Acceleration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBHmrO8hBNU
They ran these cars at a prepped track in 50 degree weather. I would say they did not get to the optimal launch but the times probably do represent what regular people could achieve with a little practice.
Mustang: 13.2 @ 111 mph. Hard to launch, some wheel hop, and a bizarre issue of power cutting out when launching w/o stability control. I think this is slower than the last gen, since it is the same engine. More weight also. Oops.
Challenger: 12.9 @ 111.6 mph. Weak-ass 245mm tires.
Camaro: 12.3 @ 114.3 mph. Holy shit. They said it was the easiest to launch. Traction + trap speed = fast 1/4 mile. Surprised at the margin though.
