Cool First photo of Detroit's trio of muscle cars!

Credit goes to our friends at Jalopnik for orchestrating the shot you see above, which took some quick planning and a lot of luck. General Motors recently held a sneak peak media drive for the Chevy Camaro V6 out in San Diego, and unfortunately only the biggest buff books and Edmunds Inside Line were invited (tsk, tsk). Jalopnik decided to crash the party the best way they know how - by showing up driving the Camaro's two biggest competitors, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Classic Jalopnik, and how they managed to find two black ones we'll never know.

This is the first published picture of all three modern muscle cars together, at least that we know of. Jalopnik EIC Ray Wert and his team weathered an extremely miffed GM PR person to get it, and word is we'll have video later of the heated exchange. What GM got miffed about is unknown, since last we checked San Diego had no laws against driving your car and parking it on public streets. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to rummage through our junk folder to find the invitation to this event that we're sure GM sent and we somehow never got.

I would definitely drive the Challenger before the Stang...the Challenger is a sharp looking car. Kinda biased photo though since they have Dodge's top dog muscle car (besides the Viper) and a Mustang GT parred against a V6 Camaro.. I do realize it wasn't planned and more of a party-crashing.. but still... Thats like bringing the new ZR1 or ZO6 to a V6 Mustang shoot
