I don't have to sell it or anything, it's running great but lately I've had thoughts about just getting something newer.
I LOVE my Mach 1, it's a beast but it's really at about it's safe limit without digging into the motor and it's just not worth it on a 12 year old car. Both the new 'stang and Camaro motors have so much more potential than the old 4.6. Even as it stands, pushing this much power through it makes me nervous every time I get on it. I've got an awesome tune, and it's probably going to last a long time but it's still hard not to worry about a rod ventilating my block.
So I guess the reason I'm here is to see if I can be swayed over to the DARK SIDE instead of getting another Mustang. Obviously you guys prefer Chevy. What is it about the 5th gen Camaro that makes you guys take it over the Mustang 5.0? As far as looks go, they're about a wash for me. I like 'em both.

The throttle response in my 100% bone-stock (except for wheels) 2012 Camaro 1SS is, overall, worse than the throttle response in my 1970 Buick.
The Buick is
carbureted and it has better throttle response. You won't get a lot of "here's a bad thing about Camaros" here, but I'm not real shy.
