Although the MSRP on the 86 Z28 was around $13k, that is however with no idea of the options. |

Interesting comparison.
I traded my 2010 SS in on a 2011 Mustang GT. I enjoy drag racing and the price of getting the Camaro to where I wanted was looking like $6,500. The Mustang was less than half and as I get further into it, looks like even less. I really did like my Camaro and miss it from time to time. It is a great car and I really like the pushrod motors however Ford got it right on the drivetrain in the 2011. There is a member over at S197 that just went 11's with nothing more than lower control arms, tune and ET Streets in 2,200' DA. Pretty damn amazing from where I sit and I have been into 1/4 mile racing for years. |

Ford had the benefit of running the Mustang with the same basic drivetrain from 2003-2009. When the Camaro came out, Ford had to up the ante. Both the Camaro and the Mustang are very good cars, and the final decision comes down more to asthetics than 0-60. I know guys who rave on the Camaro, and those who think that GM hit a foul ball. The Mustang also has it's fanboys and detractors. The competition is good for fans of both cars.

If I could not get a Camaro I would have gotten a 370z. If I could not have gotten a either of those I would of gotten a Mustang. I had an 05 before the Camaro and I loved it. The 5.0 is impressive but the Camaro is a lot meaner looking.

No he was not honest. He compared a 2011 Mustang to a 2010 Camaro. Why do you think there was no picture...?
There is absolutely NO drone in the A6 Camaro Stock.. Sorry! His comments about the Mustang having Round Vents on the corners and flat ones in the center and Not liking them????? Thats the same Vent configuration as the Camaro LOL! Also the Mustang Steering wheel controls are recessed DEEPER than the Camaros! FARCE

a stock l99 vs a stock 5.0 leaves alot to be desired--- gm really shit the bed in two ways---
1: sacrificing 26 hp 2: a trans tune so weak it makes an 83 th700 seem manly. a good tune really wakes them up-- but that's not stock anymore.

I like the Camaros, but owna 5.0 Mustang. Why, it is the better over all package hands down. The 5.0 is very advance, smooth and almost euro like, as opposed to the aging push rod. Don't get me wrong, I like the Chevy engine too, but there is no comparison really.
And, there are several reports (dyno verified) of Mustangs at 430-435 at the crank in stock form. You have to drive both, just like the OP did, to really appreciate this comparison. |

I don't really get the mod thing. THe Mustang seems to respond as well as the LS3 if not better, of course that has a lot to do with the complete package. Keep in mind because of weight and gearing you do not need 500 RWHP to keep up with a 500 RWHP Camaro. Around 450-460RWHP in the Stang should be right there with a 500 RWHP Camaro and I believe that should be possible with the same amount of money or less in the Mustang. |

Everybody's sister has a Mustang...you have to spend 50k to get one a man would drive...If it was such a "Great Car" then why did they have to put $1500 bucks on the hood this summer to get people to buy them instead of arguably the hottest selling car on the market?...Up until the 2011 model year the Stang had a base V6 that was just slightly more powerful than a Toyota Camry...lol... the Camaro is a great rebirth of an American Muscle Car
