Help me make my buying decision
I am choosing between a Mustang GT and a Camaro. I accept the prices for what they are. I believe that the Camaro is worth what they're asking. I'm not arguing the Mustang is a better deal. (I did this once. I was wrong, and I have all of you to thank for showing me this)
I'm really just confused as to what is best for ME here on my budget. I get Ford X Plan pricing as well as GM supplier pricing. (both OK;d by local dealer) Here's the deal guys: The Mustang I'm looking at fully optioned (with what I want) is only $28,768 with my X-Plan pricing. It's a GT Premium 400-A. I have NO interest in the track pack or any options aside from the SYNC, V8, Leather, upgraded stereo! For a Camaro SS2 with GM supplier pricing I'm looking at $33,833 (as you all know). And yeah, it's a better car. But is it too good a car to compare to a Mustang GT? Is this an unfair comparison? Should I in fact be comparing a Camaro 2LT with the Mustang GT? I know the Mustang GT is faster, but... Is it that big a deal? Is it a HUGE cop-out to buy a Camaro with only 6 cylinders? I feel like it is... The whole point of this car is to go fast... And here I am considering the V-6 because I can get a V8 cheaper with Ford. It seems to me that the SS2 isn't even in the same league as the Mustang GT (in a good way). But here's the deal though. I don't really want a car that extravagant that it blows other V8's out of the water. I just want something quick and fun to drive, and has the purr of a V8. But I am loyal to Camaro and GM first and foremost so lets look at a 2LT. I can get one at partner pricing for $27,157 Lets just say a 2LT and a Mustang GT cost the same now (cause that's DAMN close boys)... What's the better car guys??? The GT and 2LT are in the same league if you ask me. What do you guys think??? One more thing... Our president was nice enough to make buying a car a tax write off. Tell me if im wrong but as far as I know you don't have to pay ANY tax on a car this year. you get it all back... But I wont be able to buy a Camaro by Dec 31st, as the dealer wont be able to get me one by then! The Mustang GT, I could have much sooner, and thus will get my tax credit... Right? Again tell me if I'm wrong! I'd buy an SS1, but I can't have Bluetooth, or USB. I want that. This is my 1st new car. I want fun stuff. |

So you guys think its ok to go from drooling over a V8 to settling for a V6?
Does the V6 engine roar like a V-8? Will ricers embarrass me? |

I owned a 2005 Mustang GT; I loved it, even considered buying a new one, until I bought the Camaro. The Mustang has a great look and sound, as well as being fast (the two tickets within a 4-month period proves it). The Camaro is a faster, is a better handling car and sounds unbelievable. The Camaro is a head-turner too; the Mustang isn't anymore. Go for the SS! You won't regret it.
