July 2009 C&D: Mustang 209 pts, Camaro SS 193, Challenger SRT8 190 - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Quarter-mile times:

Camaro 13.0@111

Mustang 13.6@105

Challenger 13.6@106

People who want to win the quarter in a Mustang need to either pay up for a GT500 or wait for the new V8.

Blah blah blah i dont care about there reviews to be honest. Cars are like everything else u buy. U know with in 5 seconds if u love it or hate it. You cant put that stuff on paper like a number system.

CamaroDan · 05-23-2009, 12:47 PM

you guys are stupid if ya a pony car. FORD has nothing to give anymore other than a mustang. If chevy wants to they could come out with a retro chevlle ss,and a malibu ss retro And they haven't even really started on the stingray. except for a concept. Ford has nothing else to give except a pony. As far as style and looks and performance the chevy cars blow them away.

MarcZ · 05-23-2009, 12:52 PM

13.0? I heard 12.95

Yep, I agree that you can't definitively say that X car is rated an 8, while Y car is rated 8.5. One person's ratings are going to differ from another's because of personal likes and dislikes.

But, I don't agree at all that you know within 5 seconds if you love or hate a car. An example is the Viper. I've read plenty of reviews on that car where the tester said the car was absolutely amazing on first drive - it's a street-legal race car! It seemed like nothing could be better. But living with the car for a weekend or long drive is another story - the ride is super-stiff and uncomfortable; the seats hold you like glue but are uncomfortable after any length of time; you can't escape the noise and it gets tiring. So when the testers each had to take a car for a couple hundred mile drive, the Viper was always the last one getting picked.

And that's why reviews can be useful sometimes.

Yeah they seem to like to bash the Camaro. I guess their target demographic is Mustang owners. Gotta make them feel good so they can keep reading!

The all-new Camaro buzz, or the freshened same old Mustang silence.

You be the judge.

"Dislike angry appearance".

Get the **** out of here. Who wrote that?

Emotional review has nothing to do with the science of the cars. This is a worthless review.

catmaster1 · 05-23-2009, 02:47 PM

Seems as though Ford gave C&D some dough in order to have the review come out in their favor. Happens all the time, opinions swayed by money. But i dont really care what a mag writes anymore. As far as females driving mustangs over camaros...if i have said it once i have said it a million times. mustang is a chick car! It is based around women, thats why 8 out of 10 high school grad girls get V6 stangs. It takes a real woman that knows a thing or two to drive a camaro. But Im not gonna sweat it, in fact i dont care. I will wipe the walls with mustangs all day long

In real world tests, a Camaro5.com member ran the quarter mile in a 2010 Camaro SS in 13.5 seconds while a Themustangsource.com member ran the quarter mile in a 2010 Mustang GT in 13.7 seconds.

And they would do this with all of that extra money they have laying around?
