Out of curiosity - which Mustang was it? 2005 through 2009 or the new 2010?
I really enjoy my 2008 Mustang, but the overall experience of my friend's 2LT Camaro seems closer to the feel of the high end BMWs that my other friends have than the Ford. Love all 3 cars I mentioned for what they are, but they are very distinct from one another. |

Most car comparisons are from the perspective of a potential buyer and not out in fanboy fantasyland though. Such comparisons must take into account that people are working to get the most car they can for their budget. If your budget is big enough to fit in a Cobra then sure you might compare it to a Camaro SS but if factory performance is your goal the Cobra clearly provides that higher performance with it's higher cost. That's not much for Ford or it's fans to brag about though, it's simply Ford providing what is needed for the Cobra to have a place in the market. If it wasn't significantly faster than muscle cars that were much cheaper it would become a very low volume, mostly pointless waste of time and money. While this is a niche that Dodge seems to have a habit of flirting with via their SRT line but Ford and GM seem to work to avoid aside from the occasional experiment (examples: Ford GT, Chevy SSR, etc). Personally I think you already understood everything I just typed and are just being a stubborn fanboy but if you really didn't understand I hope that helped you out. |

Could you describe "feels like driving a toy" I'm not sure i understood that part, what would driving a toy feel like? i do like the 10's interior more than the 09's, i drove a camaro as well an SS the interior is decent, a bit oddly shaped for my taste, and hard to see out of. but overall a more plush ride than the mustang, still driving it i felt like the car was swallowing me and i am not a small guy.glad you test drove both though was it a 2010?

Hopefully the new Mustang will be what you guys hope it will be, and you can at least argue about things that we care about. |

Unless they rename the new Mustang to Camaro I somehow doubt that will be possible.

While I cant speak for anyone else, I know for a fact that if I wanted a Camaro I would have one. But neither the new Camaro or the new Mustang lived up to my expectation's. So I have a 09 Stang instead.

Of course, how ridiculous that in a Camaro vs Mustang thread someone actually know something about the Mustang. More incredible, some of those facts actually make the Mustang look like a decent car. It would be a far better place if every thread were simply titled 'Mustang is the Suxor'

Pretty sure the only thing the mustang had over the camaro was handling, which it barely won?

Is the Mustang a comparatively decent car for horsepower? Do you think people who buy Camaros and Mustangs are interested in horsepower? Was this thread actually about future-year Mustang horsepower? Was Ford smart to try to include more horsepower in the Mustang, or should they have tried instead to further their supposed lead in side-impact airbags? Remember horsepower? Horsepower... ************************************* What you read in that: ************************************* And then there's the facts that you refuse to acknowledge.
