When the Camaro was faster and members here said, "Drive your favorite," no one got mad. Now, there's a possibility that a Mustang a whole model year away is going to be faster in one category or another. Suddenly, the idea of that same morally superior statement strikes a nerve. It is so easy to tell someone "choose your weapon" when yours is better in your eyes. Now, Mustang drivers are calling your bluff, claiming their weapon is better.
I've got news for you. It isn't better yet. It's got a whole model year left of being behind, and the year after is still up in the air. In fact, this year is still up for debate as the ZL1, a vehicle we already know will destroy the current GT500, may have room for a few more tweaks before finally hitting dealer lots.
Don't let your confidence fail you. The Mustang is a very nice car. Chevrolet, however, never intended to beat the Mustang on just 1 level. It is part of GM's strategy to devise cars based on value. For every dollar you put into a GM vehicle, you will get much more than the closest rival. If Ford is faster, than Chevy is backed by a better warranty and less maintenance. If Jeep has more cargo room, then GMC is more reliable and has a better suspension. You get more for your GM vehicle than Ford will get for being a little faster in just 1 category.
Ford can have 1 trophy. We'll still have a lot more. They can have their consolation prize. Like I said, don't let your confidence fail you. Be proud. Stand tall.
May the best car win.
