Seems like an ok comparison to me, who cares who owns them, and Pontiac fits in easily because these are all american cars, if an american wanted to go buy an american sports car these companies will be mostly what he's looking at.
I guess i would pick Chevy because of the Corvette, i don't like the new Camaro's at all though.

Dodge and it's Magnum R/T. You can carry your racing tires, the tools, and air tank to and from the Drag Strip easily and you can't beat the Hemi'. I'm hoping for an SRT-8 Version of it to come out soon.

In the muscar hay day, all GM divisions had their own unique engines, it's only up untill recently that they have started sharing engine platforms, so this comparison is not completely out of place.
Having said that, from those glory days, I'll take Chevy. The 327, 350, 396, 427 and 454 were all wonderfull engines that normally outpowered similar displacement engines from other companies.
As far as "contemporary" cars go, I don't have a favorite maker, cars yes. The Ford GT, Corvette, Viper, GTO are all cars that I woun't mind having in my garage.

err... that thing is HUGE
from it's size alone im guessing it weighs in over 1.7 tons
and what's so special about hemis anyways, all i remember was that hemi's have special hemispherical cylinder heads but modern cylinder heads have the same advantages as a hemi and have 3-5 valves per cylinder instead of 2 like a hemi ...

From worst to best:
Chevrolet has its Corvette... the only one I ever liked was the Sting Ray... none of the new ones appeal to me... and yes Camaros are *cough*POS*cough*
Ford has their Mustangs... and again, only the 60s models still gimme boners...
The Dodge has its Viper which is cool... but I wouldn't just go out and buy one... even if I had the money...
Pontiac... Trans AM... now THAT is something I would loooove to own... not just the new ones... even their old classic muscle cars... WOW...
PS: I might be a litttle biased since my dad used to own one :)

WTF!!?? :O... Since when!?
How can these two cars be the same!?! The Trans AM looks much better than the Camaro!! Either way... ignoring the performance (which I don't usually do, but in this case I 'can't' look like a jackass while arguing my point :p ) looks wise, I like the Trans AM.
*SIGH*

Well lets see, same chassis, same engine, transmission, and pretty much the same interior too...
Dont tell me you didnt know that they were the same car with a different body? The camaro came first then potiac wanted a pony car so they used the camaro to make the firebird...
I will agree that the T/A looks better than the Camaro, but other than looks there the same car...
(BTW there perfomance is nearly identical)
You need a better pic of the maro ;)

hahah, not trying to rub it in your face, just showing you the facts. As for speed like i said, they post almost identical times. (Z28 and T/A both run mid to high 13s in the 1/4 for example)

Yep, its called an F-body. GM did this all the time, the 70's GTO, Chevelle, Cutlass, and Skylark were all the same thing. I like chevys. A 70 chevelle with C5/GENIII internals=bliss.

GM isnt the only company who does this. Numerous other companies platform share all the time.

Wow
Im a GM guy always have been and always will be. Its all my family has ever owned since the 50's with a few exceptions of tractors and such. My dad has owned a few camaros, firebirds and a cutlas in the late 60's early 70's but now all he owns is boring stuff. The only time I would not buy a chevy is if I had the opportunity to get some kind of exotic. :)

There's so many of each I love, I couldn't pick one. My first muscle car love was a '70 Chevelle SS454 LS/6, and my current fav muscle car is a Plymouth GT/X. The Torino strikes me as sleeker than either though. And all made beautiful cars in the 50's (the pinnacle of motordom, IMHO). I chooses not to choose, I'd be very satisfied by any and all.

No, the SHO Taurus ended in 1998 or '99. I'm exactly sure, it was before the "fish-eyes" went away and they switched to that style headlight in the car pictured.
I laugh at the new Pontiac GTO. It is just a re-badged Holden Monaro. It is no way a good follow up to the original GTO.

Thats right it's better ;)

Damn right it is.
I am just pointing out that it will not exactly have the same impact on America as the original GTO did.
