The interior view issues are legitimate criticisms, most reviewers comment on it negatively.

This is the first I heard of this. Do you know what they are doing to the interior? Just curious.

That burn-out has nothing to do with power though? Hard to believe.

But anyway....I personally love the interior, too me, it has this retro yet futurist look to it. The only thing I totally hated about the interior was that there was no in dash navigation! I mean, god, cheaper cars like Toyotas and Nissans even have in dish navi screens. It gives the car a more technical look to it rather than using this little box of a window for onstar to guide you through directions. All they have to do is add a hud and a navi, and I'd buy the 2012 model and be a totally satisfied customer.

I never really had a problem with the front view through the windshield, it's fine to me, but the view front he side windows needed some getting use to. After about a month, I adapted and everything was fine. No car has a perfect view,....keep that in mind.

Not according to the video.

13.1 for the Camaro and 12.7 for the Mustang.

Let's face it. The new 5.0 actually puts more power to the rear wheels to the much lighter Mustang. Until GM realizes this, the Mustang will keep winning 'stock' races.

Considering the Mustang puts down more power to the wheels than the Challenger and right at or more than the SS..I'd say no.

Yet in other tests the stang ran 13.4

I used to be a Mustang fanatics. But when the new Camaro came out, I had to test-drive it. As soon as I did, I knew I had to own one. For good measure, I also had to compare with the real competition: the Challenger (the Mustang was not even a contender in my mind). So I tried the SRT8. A great car. My wife and I had long discussions to make up our minds: a Camaro or a Challenger to replace our 2004 Mustang? The $10,000 difference in price and the ugly sedan interior of the Chally made us pick the Camaro. And boy do we love this car. We have no regrets about the choice we made. And although the 5.0 Mustang might now be a close contender for 2011, the look and feel of both cars will always put the GM car in front of its Ford counterpart. The new Camaro fits me like a glove in all possible ways.
