In what might be one of the most interesting editorial pieces I have read recently, Automobile Magazine enlisted the help of two true muscle car fiends, David Donohue and P.J.

What ensues is exactly what one would expect. The pair run nose to tail at 120mph, swapping positions, late breaking and filling each others mirrors. Without giving away the details, lets just say this is the best test of America's newest muscle I have read thus far...

A host of rivalries are examined, to include the infamous Henry Ford II vs. Enzo Ferrari, '32 Ford vs. '55 Chevy, Ferrari vs. Lamborghini and a host of racing rivalries that span the length of motorsports history.

Certainly worth the $4.99 cover price, head to your local newsstand to find out the results of their 'testing.'
