The war between Detroit's muscle car threesome may have just begun, but as you can see in this newest episode of Torque.TV 's Head-2-Head series, it's already a shooting war. Like we saw in the preview clip , this face-off pits a 725 HP Mustang GT500 against a 725 HP Challenger SRT8 in a good ol' tire-smokin' fossil-fuel-burnin' good time. Who will come out on top? Check out the full episode over at Torque.TV

Getting the first photo of all three of Detroit's new muscle cars was no easy task — taking time, hard work and more than a little luck. Want to see what transpired? The folks from Garage419 showed up to create the above "behind the scenes" video showing just how it was done. We'd also like to point out while the PR folks on the ground weren't very happy with us showing up with the competition, the GM and Chevy brand PR teams back in Detroit found the stunt humorous and took it in good stride. We give them a lot of credit for doing so. And why not? It ended up making it all across the auto enthusiast online world, with even Motor Trend picking up on the story — although they seem a little bit baffled by how it all happened . But whatever. Enough words, hit the play button above! ( Hat tip to Craig Lieberman, Garage419 and Ned! ) galleryPost('MuscleCarWarSanDiego2', 6, 'The Muscle Car Wars Are On!');

Our buddy Scott Burgess over at the Detroit News has taken on the rekindled problem of which ponycar now reigns supreme. With the Ford Mustang GT500 and its thousands of variations, the reborn Dodge Challenger (now in SRT8 flavor) , and the recently unveiled Chevy Camaro all vying for eyes, there won't be enough Calvin-peeing-on-competitor decals to go around. Though the conclusion is left up in the air, Scott still provides an amusing simile while comparing the Ford to Chuck Norris with a Bowflex. [ Detroit News ]

newVideoPlayer("USAMuscleFifthGear_gawker.flv", 475, 376); This week's episode of Fifth Gear featured an epic battle of 'merican muscle. Specifically, we get to watch Vicki Butler-Henderson take a couple laps in two automotive icons of TV -- the General Lee and the Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino. All we've got to say is watching that Charger chug down the straightaway, barely nicking 100 MPH makes us uber-glad for today's HEMI-fied SRT8. Be that as it may, we'd probably still trade our left arm for one.
