You should drive them all, but as said above I agree about the Mustang. It is a GT in the truest sense of the words. My 2012 loves the road. I cannot wait to drive to the MCA show in Beaumont this year. I don't think I'd feel the same way about the other two cars on your list. The only downside on that '13 GT is no Convenience Package, which I have and like on my GT/CS.

Bill, these things road trip like no other car! I actually enjoy the drive up to Ohio for the Brawl and MD for the RTJR every year. I'm taking Route 66 up this year to the Brawl, should be a blast!

camaro has huge A pillars and lots of blind spots and the charger is only automatics and a 4 door. mustang has decent visibility as long as you fold the rear head rest down. it has good power and is the fastest of the bunch

Me too (just a bit!). Pick her up from the shop tomorrow, just had a Kenne Bell 2.8LC installed. She's making 650 for now, until we finish the built shortblock and turn up the boost!
