I'd say that's not likely... I considered picking up a used/new version of the outgoing model before I settled on the Camaro. Those GT500s are incredibly fast, and a few thousand dollars gets you 550+ rwhp, if not ~600 rwhp. That's why we need the Z/28.

Now the shoe's on the other foot and people want to cry foul. Hypocritical, if you ask me. And the 2010 version will be an upgrade from the 2007-2009 versions. I figure you are going to see magazines getting 12.-12.2 quarter mile times out of showroom stock GT500's and skidpad numbers that equal or better the Gen5 SS, despite the SRA. It's a great time to be a car nut, isn't it? Last edited by garagelogic; 03-17-2009 at 10:03 PM. |

I have owned Firebirds forever but I have driven a few mustangs... I think that no matter which car is faster (Camaro's or Mustangs), people will always prefer what they like, and Mustangs will continue to sell well to the sports-car crowd (like us).
Personally, I never really liked the Mustangs. They always felt underpowered, and for some reason, many drivers of mustangs seem to really hate the F-body crowd. I discovered this in the way they like to race. Try this: Regardless of your engine or speed, anything you get into it with a Ponyboy and the light turns green, Gun it, but make sure you don't spin your wheels. Inexperienced stang-heads always gun it and lose traction right from the beginning. On a typical city street (where you can't really race more than a block or so anyway), you will always pull in front of him, and remind him once again what a dork he is. Anyway, I always prefered the Trans Ams and Camaro's over the Mustangs for one reason: Headspace and leg room. I'm 6'3" and never feel comfortable in a small sports car. Mustangs, I think anyway, are smaller on the inside. If my butt doesn't sit just right, and if my legs can't straighten out, then I'm not a happy driver. (I tried a Mitsubishi Eclipse last year and I could not even lower the seat enough to keep my head from touching the roof. Idiot salesman tried to sell me the car anyway, despite my discomfort. Ass...) |

Those GT-500's may become collector cars someday since they sold so few from being overpriced. But what do they have now to compete at the same price as Camaro? Nada. |

Hey don't lump us all together. I'm a Mustang owner and I love the new Camaro, V6 and SS. Chevy did a great job with it. You guys should be proud.

Wrong is Not Enough to describe it. Let me add: Disgraceful, Shameful, and Tragic what the they have done to the Stang. I'm Just glad it wasn't done to the Trans AM.

I have my issues with both, but interior design/layout is not high on the list of reasons to buy either car. Quote:
As for sales, Ford sold no less than 95% of the GT500's built in the 2007 and 2008 model years. 2009 numbers are yet to be released, but given the economic downturn that occurred in late 2008, I figure the numbers will not be as robust. Until GM builds a Camaro making greater than 540hp from the factory, the fanboys will have to accept that there is a factory Mustang being produced that the Camaro will have to play second fiddle to.

The Mustang DOES look more like the older one, but I think interior is important because that's what you see when you spend all that time driving your car. And I DON'T like the retro guages (just put on my fire suit) on the Camaro- retro isn't always good. Ford will give Mustangs Jet-Packs next year. They will do something. |
