You guys have GOT TO STOP comparing the Camaro SS to ANY SHELBY... A Shelby is NOT a Mustang anymore....

Compare the Mustang GT to the Camaro SS that is your comparison....

Motortrend got the GT500KR at 4.3
They also got the GT500 at 4.9

Where you getting your numbers?

The GT500 is a fail people and they are just takin away the KR for the 2010 and putting the extra 40 horse into the GT500...still same suspension and oooo a (maybe) better steering...wtf is that...a better steering unit?

OK...did you see the stopping distance of the Mustang...

Now...what would be the point if just laid down the grounds with a porsche (best in comparison) with two cars and not laying down the Armada (Worst in comparison)...i mean cmon...the mustang stops only 8 feet shorter than an SUV...thats rediculous.

Ummm...a shelby is a mustang

They took a ford engine...put it in a ford car...with a ford suspension...available only at ford dealers...its a mustang

Last time i checked...Shelby mods mustangs...if it starts out as a mustang...it'll die as a mustang (which is like 5 years from purchase :P)

No...we need to remind people that the GT500 sucks...and hopefully when some potential buyer googles GT500...chewy4ce's thread of Camaro vs GT500 will show up and shed light on Ford's Epic Fail

Just because you hate Ford doesn't mean the GT500 is a "fail". The KR is gone because it was just meant for a limited run. All the 2010 Mustangs are using reused engines, GT takes the Bullitt setup and GT500 get the KR. In 2011 they get new engines.

Ok buddy I don't like the GT500 either mainly because i think it is over-priced and I don't really like the looks. But that is no reason to bash it, It's a good car for whoever can afford it and likes the looks. And it's American, which is the most important part

And there are hundreds of threads on this topic.
so I repeat



This thread is useless



Unless the OP has something intellectual to argue.

NAH....I'd rather have Chevrolet create a monopoly in the business

Ford die

Chrysler can stay...as long as chrysler gives them money to be accepted by GM

YES...its the inevitable

GM will OWN everything....even taco bell

And wtf are people saying they would be ok with the GT500 being bought over the camaro...hey people....if we dont get as much sales as we can in the opening years...camaro aint gonna be around to long...seeing how they've already stated that the camaro will be the last car on the Zeta Plat.

get your heads outta your ass and support the car that this forum was created for...if its not a Chevrolet...its the enemy...if chevrolet doesnt get the sale...thats money that GM doesnt have and it will show more profit loss.

Why would you be so irresponsible with your money buying a GT500?

And its not like its gonna be a collector's item

Thats the trouble with new cars as anyone knows...even the camaro

You want a car that appreciates value...go 79 and before...other than that...there is only loss when buying cars.

I cant believe anyone who has signed onto this site and waited as long as some and myself would offer sympathy towards a rival company...sure they might be American...but its this type of american cars that have helped conceive this global image of cheap and mediocre

We need to buy cars that help improve the image of american automotive...hopefully will help increase sales overseas...

We have to find a way to reshape the global conception of overall American Cars...and the way to do that is to buy the better car...not shell out 10k more for a car so primitive and old school that it only hurts us

I love oldschool...in oldschool cars...not oldschool in 2000 models

This thread is NOT useless...everyone went to town on debating comparisons between the camaro and the EVO and the camaro and the 370z. THose threads are USELESS. Atleast we are comparing a V8 to a V8, and an american muscle car that has been compared to each other since before i was born. I would rather compare and debate these two cars than the other cars that are not even close to each other.

Now I do like the 2010 shelby it looks good. The problem with the shelbys was that the dealers were pigs and had markups of 30+ thousand dollars.
I would love to see a SS and a shelby side by side in a comparison. I think even with the HP difference the numbers will be pretty close. Only time will tell. I am sure we will see one soon enough.
