Well chevy supplied an accurate car to these same type of tests by Motor Trend, and the mustang fanboys were crying just like that. I would assume that Ford isnt dumb enough to do send a modified car. but you are right, itl have to be out before it is all settled.

I'm not dogging the Mustang because I like them just as much as the Camaro. In my opinion its just a diiferent American muscle car. Competition is always good. As for performance... from what I have seen, atleast based on trap speeds, I would say it's a drivers race. The way so many are talking here, you would think they were getting low 12's out of it in every test.

0-60 Camaro 4.7 0-60 mustang 4.4 1/4 mile Camaro 13.1 @ 110 1/4 mile mustang 12.7 @ 112 almost a half second at the quarter is nothing to sneeze at. while i think a good driver in the Camaro could school an average driver in a mustang, take two average drivers, and the mustang will win consistently. :(

nice. I have faith itl happen eventually, but during the time Chevy is waiting, Ford will be developing the next level too. I hope I'm just being cynical.

Anyone remember this?
Interesting how they're conveniently now pulling 13.1's in their tests... 12.7 @111.3 mph vs 12.9 @110.7 mph isn't exactly earth shatteringly faster. |

Everyone knows a next-gen LS engine is coming, it won't be MY2011 though. In any case the competition is good for us all resulting in better Mustangs and Camaros at the end of the day even if we don't know how quickly each counter will come that they're happening at all is great IMO.
Fact is the Camaro dominated in sales from the moment the plant was up to full speed. It remains to be seen if the 2011 Mustang changes that but it should have a better chance than the 2010, but Ford is losing the low end price advantage on the base V6's but considering how well they did with a Mustang that was all around outclassed it seems likely they'll be much stiffer competition for sales with the new powertrains. |

I'll be honest, when I decided I wanted a performance car, my first choice was a Mustang GT. I wanted one in the light blue with white stripes (not sure of the blue color name). Then I sat in a Mustang and I didn't fit. My next choice was a Challenger SRT-8 because of how much I love my 04 Ram 2500 Hemi, but something about the car didn't feel right, plus it was way too much money for the car (over $45,000). I decided to swing by the Chevy dealership and take a look, knowing I would never fit in it. I had always liked the Camaro, but I figured I would never fit (when you're 6'9" your car choices are limited). I sat in the Camaro and I fit very well. Then I made the vital mistake of driving a 2SS Camaro and it was love at first drive. Now I'm waiting for my car to be delivered. Man I love these car's!
