Thank you! Great minds think alike right?

I'm pretty new to cars, and by no means am I an expert. BUT I'm learning. These forums are a great place to pick up enough info to get me in trouble hahaha.

How? The 2011 mustang is naturally aspirated and has a 5 liter engine and every test ive seen the mustang beats it in the 1/4. It is what it is.

I'm seeing more and more 5G Camaros now, I see more 5G Camaro's than I do 2010+ Mustangs(or it could just be that Mustangs are so bland, that I don't notice them), there were 4 Camaro's at the interesection of SW 134th and Penn. They were all RS's. 9/10 Camaro's I see are RS(which look great), though they look rather innocuous(headlights) without the RS package and especially worse with those cheap looking steelies(or whatever they are, they look like steel wheels to me). Anyways.... just saying that 5G Camaro's are becoming very common, I see one on almost every trip I make.

As in the past so is today.. If you do not want a car everyone has buy a dodge. Great cars but sales are lower so you do not see them all the time.

Camaros are showing up more but i see alot of v6 compared to SS models. Mustang seems to be the same way.

The robin-egg blue color was not so hot IMHO, and the 18" wheels don't compare to our 20's. She said the dealer sold it to her for less than she paid for her 2000 Mustang--no price was actually mentioned, but apparently some Ford dealers are almost giving their remaining 2010's away so they can get an allocation of the 2011's. If I could have gotten a GT500 for within a couple of thou of what I paid for my SS I would have had a serious decision problem...

Did i miss something in here , are you talking about your co-worker daughter herself , or about the car ????:con fused0068:

I think people are really missing out on the danger of the Camaro.... Since it's roofline is so low, that means in the instance of a rollover your spine becomes the crumple zone resulting in YOU being in a wheelchair the rest of your life, this fatal flaw is really being overlooked.

Look at some of the Camaro's on here, there's over 140 wrecked. The rollovers looks really bad ! Search 2010-present Camaro.

Look at page 11. There's a SS that says ZL454 on it, and there's a Camaro with a devastating frontal collision whose airbags didn't deploy(the speedometer still says 80 mph!!).

Car guys respect a nice, well performing car, regardless of their opinions or taste. Newbs and fanboys talk smack. Remember that. You don't see the smack-talking yuppies with stock cars they paid $5k over MSRP for doing well at the track, or even there for that matter. You see them in parking lots talking about how their special dealer installed exhaust makes an extra 200hp and how ______ manufacturer doesn't have a chance against their car.

If all you like is chevy or ford, you're not a car guy, you're a chevy or ford fanboy. There are plenty of amazing vehicles from almost every manufacturer and if you are so blind as to believe that only one can make a good car, you're a fanboy through and through.

mustang interiors are pretty freakin' nice and have more visibility, but outside is where they just don't look good to me. it's obviously a personal preference, but i don't know anyone who thinks they look good either. so for interior, mustang wins; exterior, definitely the camaro. other than that, they are both about the same quickness and handle well. pretty similar cars really. i don't see what's the big deal. i certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy the mustang if i thought it had better exterior looks, and up until 1 year ago i've been driving camaros for the last 10 years. friends like yours are just stubborn and nothing is going to change their mind.

It's not just Mustangs, it's trucks and everything else.
Just sounds to me like a severe inferiority complex. Be happy you have what you have and let everyone else do the same.

The trucks are superior as trucks.

I have to agree with you. I see a ton of gen 5 camaros everday and have olny seen 2- 2011 5.0 litre mustangs since they came out.

well, except for last month, the new camaro has been outselling the 2010 mustangs for over a year. lol That's probably why.

Please stop trolling this forum.

You're giving all the decent Camaro owners a bad name ...
