Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
you forgot to put "IN YOUR OPINION" i am sure my ass is not shaped like your ass... and we don't have the same feel inside a car, unless that is.. if you can speak for everyone on the planet which would be quite the feat!

It's not like they have to re-engineer anything.
Wow. I did not know the GT and GT500 share the same suspension. That's crazy!

I could be wrong and the thing be the GT500's fat little brother. But I doubt, very much.

the 2005-2009 mustang looks much like the 1969 vehicles. i was unhappy with the looks of the new camaros ... if the chev had made the car body more like the older 1969 vehicle they would had a real winner....

Stop living in the past. It's 2009, not 1969...
You know you're driving a "retro" styled car talking about living in the past right?

Obviously the majority did not want the completely retro look. Because if this was the case, then the Challenger would have sold 15,000 units a month compared to the Camaro's 4 and Mustangs 3. IMO if you want a retro car... Buy you a car from that time period.

Wow 4lbs lighter? I was just guessing on them having 20"s. I dont even know if they will have them.

No need to attack. I was just saying, that weight adds up quick when you have big boy parts on your car. You think the Camaro is heavy because its made of lead? 6 airbags, 2012 saftey standards, 20" wheels, IRS, 14.4 in Brembos. Then add in any extra b.s. like speakers blutooth, leather ect ect ect.

I do like how you ignored the part about mustang gts stepping up to the 1993 z28 though.

I don't have a 93 mustang, why would i be concerned? lol

ford SELLS CARS thats all that i care about with my stock holdings
I didn't attack you baby, you posted 30lbs more for the tranny before you even checked the specs. to me that denoted wishful thinking. a little research before you make a statement you think is right wouldn't hurt. feel me lil bro?

You must have been really disappointed when you saw the sales gap between the Camaro and Mustang for the past couple of months.

Okay. This has NOTHING to do with what I was referring too. In fact I was not quoting you at all.

Sorry I didnt get the exact trans they were using. Im sorry that it will weigh approximatley 26lbs more instead of 30.

I didnt realise it was that big of a deal to you.

made the 2011 camaro front end look like a 1969 camaro... then you have a winner!!!!!
