Best Bang for the bucks Camaro or Mustang V6?

[Verbolten]

I am still undecided between the Stang and Maro vert. My un-offical list. Just going to mention the con's for both cars..

Camaro Cons:
Interior needs updating. (Nav unit) Too much grey plastic. Two big analog knobs???.
Trunk space. WTF!!! Why is the trunk opening so small???
Convertible top problems. I think there is around 8 different issues.
No place to put your elbows when driving on a long trip.

Mustang Con's.
Just does'nt have the look the Camaro has. (not sure why)
Streeing wheel needs to be redesigned. Same old think..
Rear suspension.
Need 20" wheel option.

I guess I will decied sometime in the 2013 model year.

I guess I dont understand the best bang for the buck. I know plenty of cars can smoke the hell out of my ss, but its what I choose to drive, its a CAMARO. Get what ya want man and dont compare.

Plenty of people are just car guys, not 1 make fanboys.

Guess I can say the same .. Coming from a fully loaded Cadillac STS 2006 car, having big trunk, sunroof, great steering wheel, buttons in the right place.
When I drove the 12' Mustang rental last week, I noticed the steering wheel buttons were too small but it looks similar to the camaro's steering wheel. other than that yes it needs a more aggressive look but I did enjoyed the better MPG compared to my last car.

Whats the difference with this Cam suspension and Stang ?

The Mustang uses a 3 link live rear axle set up while the Camaro uses an independent rear suspension. No difference when driving on smooth roads, or even rough roads when driving normally, but when you get aggressive, especially over rough or broken pavement, you will notice the Mustang is not as stable, or able to put the power down, as smoothly as the Camaro. There are benefits to a live rear axle, such as much lighter weight compared to an IRS, and it's much better for drag racing, but other than that, it's very old tech.

I did notice the stang i drove was very good in un-even pavement with bumps, it went smooth.

Tires, tires, tires for snow and rain! Don't forget.

And like I said, the Mustang for the most part drives fine. Even if you track the car, you will have to push it hard to notice the short comings. Fact is however, the IRS will handle bumps and broken pavement a lot better. No way around it. It is just a more compliant suspension. Ford did great with the set up they have on the Mustang now, but it is literally the only car company that still offers a RWD platform with that type of set up. There is reason everyone else is using IRS, it's a better all around platform, even though most people won't be able to tell the difference.
