CR names Mustang as best of the new musclecars - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This one doesn't bother me. They had plenty of positive things to say about the Camaro. "Blistering performance," "nicely finished," etc. There's nothing wrong with that. The reviews that annoy me are the ones that dock points from the Camaro because it "looks angry" (as if that's somehow a BAD thing in a pony car) or other stupid reasons. CR saying the Camaro's weight holds it back and they don't like the interior plastic is pretty reasonable.

LOl this is too funny. Funny to see how you guys are talking about who sold more or what CR says....

isn't a "Muscle" car being tested on a track kinda pointless? If i wanted to buy a car with handling then i wouldn't have gotten a pony car. If you look at all the comparison it talks about thing i really dont care about. I dont want people in my back seat, or be able to take a turn going 80mph, trunk space or any of that. People dont buy a Porsche for trunk space... Yes i said Porsche...(im talking about useless options not comparing cars)

Mustang = great car... one of my fav is of course 1967 mustang shelby gt 500 but who cares. Have fun with what you got....THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING BETTER OUT THERE.

i got the Camaro as a muscle car not a track car. So yes I love to drive straight not in circles (Again personal option) I have my other toy cars for that.

talk about what you did to your Camaro or Mustang... that would be a better Camaro vs.... thread

Taking the word of "Consumer Reports" on an issue of this magnitude's like taking dating advice from Dr. Phil. (the shill)

If they had chosen the Camaro, would it still have been biased, paid for endorsement crap?

There is no way anybody in their right mind could say the 2010 mustang is a better car than the 2010 Camaro. Oh wait you said consumer reports, story checks out.

On a side note I saw a hideous blue 2010 GT at a gas station yesterday and I have to say that car must be in the top 5 for ugly cars of the year. Congrats mustang guys!

Oh come on, don't offend the mustang guys that have so much time on their hands that they troll Camaro sites.

Depends on fact. You should know that! Look @ performance, sales, value for starters. ...but I shouldn't teach a pig to sing.
