It goes without saying that the car mags will do a Challenger / Mustang / Camaro shootout. And call it some sort of new Pony/Muscle Car shootout.

But sometimes they definitely will pick a broader spectrum to do a comparative shootout. And you raise an interesting question. I think the GT-R will more often show up in a Corvette or Supercar shootout as that's how Nissan is promoting it.

The M3 is an interesting thought, though. Big engine thrown into a 2-door "family-style" car with RWD. I can see it making its way into some sort of comparison with a Challenger. It would be really interesting to see the final numbers (weight, power, balance) of those cars side by side.

For people who read more car magazines more religiously than I do: Did anybody ever do any sort of 300 or Charger SRT8 shootout with, say, an M5 or other sort of car that may not feel exactly like it's in the same segment?
