The 2011+ Mustang Thread

[Viral]

Well bob, the problem is you're one of a dozen or so mustang guys here telling us drag racing is your thing, and you don't prefer drag racing a camaro... In front of 50,000 camaro loving C5 members. Personal bias is about all you can expect here

Yep, you're right. Matching a ponycar (Mustang) with a sportscar (Corvette) makes perfectly logical sense. On a side note, why would a magazine be afraid of putting any car up against another one? I don't think they get anything for having one test better than another other than maybe some additional readership for a particular issue.

Ummm...okay. I'm note sure what that has to do with anything, but you are correct. The new 5.0 is actually only 4.951L, not 5.0L. However, I'm not sure how they do math where you're from, but most people I know round up to an even number, not down.

Engaging in dialogue with other people who also like the Gen5 Camaro and all it has to offer. Why are you here?

Oh, and by the way, the GT500 is a factory production vehicle. The Hennessey Camaro and Saleen Mustang are not. Currently, GM does not produce a direct competitor to the GT500 but (hopefully) that will change in a year or two. Until then, you'll just have to be content in the knowledge that Ford owns the ponycar segment from a performance perspective with its factory GT500 offering.

You have a nice day too and don;t get all, how did you put it, "butt hurt". I'll be here all week as well, just as I have been for the past couple of years.

[Mr. Wyndham]

These threads remind me of shark-baiting...you put even a little bit of "Mustang" out there, and its fans come out of the woodwork, target locked and ready to kill.

shouldnt a zr1 be compared to TWO gt500s and a base v6 mustang to make the msrp the same?

I shall readily admit my bias(es). Perhaps it would have been better to say something like "argueing over purely subjective topics is rather pointless".

How's that?

And I love C5s too....of the Z06 variety....

So which one do you take out more? Be honest.

[Z/28orSs]

so it took 80 pages to tell us that we have more mustang owners on a CAMARO forum than a mustang forum

[parksdjs]

I haven't found a true stock 5.0 that's beat mine yet and I am up to 7 so far and counting.

I like the looks of the camaro and still feel they are as fast.
Also got a work supplier discount which helped. Yes you are correct about them being biased.

people who live in north jersey and nyc will not get a mustang for that live axle there is a HUGE differnce here in pot-hole country
