But I still say, with those small wheels the Mustang just doesn't look as good. To make the Mustang look decent, you need to add the higher end packages (California, etc).

Heya Patriot! See that's why I was hoping a Camaro pro would be curious enough (or just plain bored enough

) to build a closer price comparison than I could. I doubt the biggest Mustang wheel will be close to the size of the Camaro, but whatever upgrade comes close should be included to be as fair as possible.

IMHO MT has not been the mag they once were for some time. I dropped my sub about 10 years ago.

One thing for sure... the tweaking Chevy will do to the 2012 Camaro will continue the arms race. I'm thinking 440 HP, 27 MPG ... push that envelope baby!

If you match options the mustang comes out more....just saying

July?? My calendar says April. Sh!t! WTH happened? I only closed my eyes for a little while, or so I thought.............................

Okay, seriously. What month is it again??

jagan323 · 04-28-2010, 12:24 AM

lol... well MT didn't compare prices... regardless of their performance charts. The price for the Camaro fully loaded is a lot better than the other two. Unless I totally got that wrong

TJ91 · 04-28-2010, 12:42 AM

im actually proud that our american muscle cars are doing soo great!
Respect to the mustang for its unbeatable performance.
Im a car guy and appreciate any great car

Ford can throw a friggin 7.0 in the Mustang and run 10's, I still wouldn't buy, its butt ugly man. Now if they "Retro" it back to 2005 they would have THE hot ticket!

No, MT was quick to say that price was NOT going to be a factor in this comparison, just the cars heads up. They did say that the SRT8 was $12,000.00 more, but price was not going to be a contributing factor.

I found the video on the MT site, they said it was from the July issue. MT would not tell a lie, would they?
