My props to camaro vs props to mustang

A little birdy told me he would like to see me talk more about camaro and less about mustang since its a camaro website. I respect that.

So im gonna start a thread about the pros and cons of each and see if you agree with me.

Let me say before i start that i love all muscle cars and i would take any of the 3. But my loyalty is to mustang.

Pros of Camaro:

- GM finally realized their dumb mistake in getting rid of this icon, welcome back!

- a V6 that is over 300hp. Lots of people who are daily drivers love this

- 400 plus horses in the v8. simply said very cool

- cylinder deactivation. this is simply awesome if your on a road trip....but why isnt it available on the manual tranny?

- 4 pack gauge.......also way cool

- dual exhaust in the v6. seriously, why not stang and challenger?
- very good MPG in all models
- the car looks very cool
- Brembo breaks.......why not on the stang?

cons:

- no Z28. Its because of money.......but pretty much because of this......the GT500 has no competition, it is the king of muscle cars right now production wise.

- kind of a weird interior. some good some bad. the radio looks awful
- very small trunk space.......but......its a camaro
- YOU CANNOT HEAR THE ENGINE VERY WELL FROM THE INSIDE. wtf?
- hockey stripes.........look horrible


Pros of Mustang:

- has never gone away........stanger has always been with us!
- awesome classic look, the new interior rocks
- ENGINE NOISE IS TERRIFIC
- excellent handling, better than competition
- Glass roof. while i would never spend 3k on this......its cool
- the GT500.......nuff said
- ecoboost v6 will debut with more than 350hp beating all other v6's
- weight is less than competition by far

cons:

- sub 400hp engine. but as of today this is changing
- no 6 speed.......again this will change with new engine
- no brembo breaks........why?
- no cylinder deactivation? in this day and age.......why not?
-the base v6 looks a little plain.....better with the 2010 but still a little plain
- single exhaust v6. um why? is it to help with the exhaust note?
- MPG need to improve........but ecoboost will help with this
- they should have made the 5.0 debut with the 2010.


your thoughts?
