2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs ’23 Camaro LT1 vs ’23 Challenger Scat Pack

We find ourselves in an era where the future of combustion-powered performance appears uncertain. Once, we anticipated that 2023 and beyond would usher in a golden age of fuel powered performance. However, over the last decade, the tide has swiftly shifted, and combustion engines seem destined to become a relic of the past, making way for the electric power surge.

As we bid farewell to iconic models like the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, both concluding their journey after this model year, Ford’s Mustang remains the sole survivor in the realm of pony cars. With this, we face the impending reality that soon we might no longer be able to compare, side by side, a brand new combustion-powered Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro. It’s a poignant moment that demands reflection, signaling the changing of the guard.

In light of these circumstances, the team at Throttle House took it upon themselves to juxtapose the 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 392 Widebody Last Call Edition against the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro LT1 and the newly-released 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

Each of these machines possesses its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The Mustang, boasting an impressive 500 HP, takes the lead in horsepower. However, the Camaro stands out with its 455 HP and a weight advantage of over 300 pounds lighter than the Mustang. Meanwhile, the Challenger, while not the most potent on paper with 485 HP and the heaviest by a wide margin, remains a formidable contender. Its sheer heft sets it apart and contributes to the unique character of this trio.

The comparison you can watch below may very well be the last of its kind, making it an essential watch for those considering a muscle car purchase before they gracefully bow out of the scene. The decision to pick up a classic combustion-powered muscle car is not to be taken lightly, and this video can provide valuable insights for those who want to make that choice just a little bit easier.
