If its a Auto 5.0 vs a L99, I'm going to say the Mustang.

Let us be clear, the only Camaro vs. Mustang pairing that is a "drivers race" is the manuals.

The question is..is GM willing to take the hit in fuel economy to match the GT500's power boost?

All evidence points to this being a BOSS test mule, not a TT Mustang. The ONLY thing that some people point to of this being a twin turbo Mustang is the blue TT tag on the windshield.

You can get, at some dealers, a base model GT with a stick for mid-low 29K.

If thats outrageous..then I guess a loaded 2SS Camaro is just plain crazy?

Did you even LOOK at how hard and fast that front end came down? Thats a stock front suspension. The same thing would have happened to the Camaro.

Behold, the ability to admit to being off base on a topic! I'd rather bow out of an argument with dignity than dig my heels in and never give up.
