Really? Your worried about 12 hp? That's only 12 hp more than the L99 and 14 less than the LS3? How is that better? A couple hundred pounds of weight? There are many companies that can make your heavy chevy run like a light weight beast. Chevy is still a head of Ford regardless of the new Mustang.

But if this is the case of your worries, then why not take the money you would spend on a "new" and "improved" Mustang and apply it to your already much more beautiful, 400+ hp and make it lighter and faster. An exhaust and supercharger upgrade would cover any weight to power ratio that the new Mustang will put out and I willing to bet the cost wouldn't be much more.

The average American can settle for a mustang. I consider those, including myself, with a Camaro a class step above the rest. Even over those with Vipers or Corvettes, Camaro is the real head turner even after a year I still get smiles, pointing, and asked if a picture can be taken. I never hear of anyone asking that about a Mustang. Maybe I'm bias, but I love my Camaro and never felt like I do with any other Camaro or car I've ever had.

Stick to quality.

PS this is a retort of why not to get a new Mustang, nothing against SemperFi.
