I will say that one seems a bit off i dont know why.

but also a shaker hood would look good, I think the challenger would look best with the stock hood but a bit higher /beefier you get me?

I don't know how to explain it.

is the stock r/t hood the same as the srt8 hood just without the carbon fiber? if so, thats the one i'm talking about that i like.

I think you are forgetting about the weight difference the V6 camaro has 75hp less but few hundred pounds lighter than the challenger so if the weight deference don't pay off it will be pretty damn close. an air kit alone should take care of it.

sorry to burst your bubble but both the Maro and Chally are OBESE, FAT , CHUBBY lol.. whatever you want to call it I still think the 2010 STANG will be MUCH lighter than both due to the fact that they will be using the same LINCOLN PLATFORM as the 05 but BIGGER MOTOR very likely the LEGENDARY 5.0 will be back , don't count out the Stang rumors are it will be AWESOME

i just love the fact that I can say...

Hmm...Do I get a new Camaro? umm...how about a new Mustang?...well there is the new Challenger too.....

Oh the decisions..... THATS whats super awesome....

We all get to CHOOSE what we want...we aren't just limited to Mustangs....Nope....Chevy and Dodge are serious players here. And Mopar has fanatical diehards...and they have been waiting patiently for 20+yrs for this type of car.....You can bet the aftermarket is going to latch onto this car like white on rice....

Now if Dodge would let people into the PCM to reprogram for more power etc...then the aftermarket will explode even more for this car...

I think we are going to see some AWESOME stuff between the Camaro vs Challenger vs Mustang....and I truly hope that all 3 manufacturers make a killing on this and start bringing in Import customers to their perspective brands...

Man you understand the pain I go through daily. Does anyone know the reason why they never let people get into the PCM? I have been so pissed about that.

sorry to burst your bubble but frankly if they stick a bigger engine and IRS it will weigh alot more. To me the 5.0 is not legendary. Legendary is the LS and Hemi engines. You want a legendary ford engine go tell ford to bring back the BOSS engine.IMO

Yeah..its weird they don't let people into the PCM...

But I will tell you...I do miss my '70 Dual Quad Tunnel Rammed 340 cid 4speed, 3.91 geared Duster.....

And to think my first car was a 69 Camaro (which now belongs to a cousin and looks like a Yenko)...And that car made me a lot of friends...lol

I have a feeling the next generation mustang is going to be a lot heavier than what all the ford guys seem to think. Remember that the current mustang doesn't meet safety standards, with the exception of the GT500. Curb weight on a GT500? 3920 pounds. I'm not saying it will be that heavy, but just something to chew on.

gt500 has an iron block 5.4 the new 5.0 will be aluminum and ford is movin forward with its weight saving program i wouldnt be suprised if it weighed just 100 pounds more or about the same as current
