I SO agree! Mustangs are BUTT UGLY! They have no style. When I see one, I think eh...boring. The Camaro reeks sexiness and style.

Camaro, Don't forget Callaway, their model is sweet.

Camaro forever!

I'm choosing Camaro over Mustang mainly because Mustangs are wayyyyy overpopulated where i live (Va Beach). Plus i like the Camaro look a little more.

You need to get what is the most pleasing for you to look at . The one that turns your head. You can always make it go faster if that is your thing. There is always going to be something that comes along to kick your butt .So at the end of the day you at least have to like the looks of your car. You can go out and buy a Neon and dump loads of cash into it until it can romp anything on the street, but at the end of the day it is still a Neon..Do you want to be seen in it ? If you are buying one or the other because others think it is "cool" or the latest greatest that will be a short lived high .Remember this all the crowing you do now will be the crow you have to eat later when the next "latest greatest "comes out..

On a side note..The Challenger and Camaro are making gobs of power without being built to their maximum potential. I wonder how much more people are going to be able to squeeze out of the little Mustang motor ,and for that matter how well it is going to be able hold up to abuse over time being already massaged so much..The rule of thumb has always been , the more you build it the less dependable it will become..

Wow.. Really dude? What cave have you been under? I wont even go into details cause I'm certain there are guys here who have actually seen results on what the 5.0 has been capable of with guys like Livernois, Evolution,ect.

To the OP, get what you like, you honestly can't go wrong with either one, but you need to decide what you think will keep you happy for the longest.. JMHO.

Faster? The SS is faster in the 1/4 mile which most peeps use as a gauge for faster. Is this personal experience or from reading mags looking to sell advertising. Besides why go fast ugly!?

They are close enought that it will come down to the driver. Still, trap speeds tell us that the 5.0 is a tick faster, especially vs. the L99.

I am pretty sure he said honest and not biased Bull S***

I will admit my Camaro looks better than my Mustang but that doesn't mean the Mustang is ugly

Truthfully I have seen more Camaros than new Mustangs. Sales back me up so far the Camaro won 9/13 months

To be honest for you the only thing the Camaro has on the Mustang is looks. In every other department I like my Mustang better.

It comes down to this. Drive a good looking car with power, price, performance, quality and durability (Mustang)

Or drive a car where these guys pretty much prove it all you can rely on in a comparison is looks (Camaro)

The Camaro was not built to last IMO just like other GM cars I owned ( Buicks, Cadillacs and Chevy's)

Already my seat broke the A/C is weak the exhausts rattles one of my speakers is fuzzy and the paint is extremely cheap ( I don't blame GM for that I blame Al Gore LOL.)

If someone doesn't agree with Your Opinion, then they are just plain wrong? And really... you unbiased? I'd almost swear you hunt down threads which contain any hint of the Mustang... just to, once again, make your biased viewpoint heard. (see above quote for example)

FYI... the OP asked about the SS, no mention of Mustang what-so-ever... so why mikey even brought that up... well, smelled of a Troll. If I were you and mike... put a for sale sign on your Camaros, and hunt out a mustang board??

PS. I suggested the CTS-V, that would be a real upgrade!

You do relize that the guys I stated above did not put a honest opinion but a biased suggestion. Did I highlight you in the names? No? Exactly... P.S he said what "car" should I get that refers to one or more cars not just the Camaro SS anyways he would of asked what you guys like about it

Nope... I wasn't mentioned in your post. I felt left out . (JK) But ones own bias is sometimes tough to see when thy self is so busy pointing out everyone elses.

Just sayin...

P.S. & here's the original post... (seemed pretty specific to me)

Maybe we can get back on-topic... if coolhand hasn't already purchased a Mustang?

Well, to get back to the question and out of the sh-- slinging, I think that the original poster would be somewhat let down by the lack of amenities in the Camaro if he is coming from a CTS. Hard to tell what he wants to do with the car, but for pure performance, the sky and your bank account are pretty much the limit with most cars.

So, for a purely fun fast car I think that the Camaro SS with a lot of add ons would be a very nice and satisfying driver - just not a luxury drive.

[SSC Super Venom]

I like the Mustang but I would take my Camaro over it for these two reasons

#1 She's sexyier
#2 I have had more time with her to grow to love the cheap plastic interior

[wylde1]

of course the opinions are going to be biased on the CAMARO5 forum.... the camaro guys love the camaros, the mustang guys are on here to try and get camaro guys to admit they love mustangs. haha

any way you slice it the cars are so close they basically come down to 2 things:

1- driver (as far as 1320/skidpad/slalom numbers are concerned, even road course lap times)

2- personal opinion

neither of which a forum over the interwebz can provide you. Go drive them and fill in the blanks for yourself

Why did I choose Camaro? I sat in mustangs and drove some '10s. Nice cars, pretty quick, but felt like another quick car.

I sat in the Camaro and it felt like nothing else I'd been in, and I loved that feeling. It may not be for you, but you won't know by reading on these forums.
