BTW, I have no desire whatsoever to buy a Mustang, or a Corvette, or even a Ferrari. I find the looks of the Camaro far superior. I know that's just my opinion. Other won't necessarily agree with me, but I love my Camaro.

You know the Camaro must be AWESOME when a Wolverine gives props to a Buckeye fan.

BMW says that more of the people at magazine X buy a BMW 3 series than any other car. I that guess means BMW is better, you should get one of those. BMW says so.

I agree completely.

Make sure you ask this on a Mustang forum too.

Most of the reviews said the same thing last year too, even though, according to their own measurements, the Camaro was better in almost every performance category by a huge margin.

The Camaro also won all but 1 of the quarter mile match ups with the 5.0 this year (and the new engines were the only changes in the '11 Mustang). Guess which car the magazines said they liked better anyway?

Don't listen to magazines opinions, go check out the cars yourself. There's a reason people are buying Camaros, and it's not because they are dumb.

The 5th gen is the best looking Camaro ever made, I have owned many Camaro's and this my favorite, and I could care less about any mustang, been a Camaro fan all my life and that is why I belong to a Camaro forum and not a mustang forum, call me whatever you want, but I am loyal to my favorite car, CAMARO's.

This is one of your longest posts I have seen in the last 2 months of being here. This must be serious!

LONG TIME AGO THE CONSENSUS WAS THAT OUR PLANET WAS FLAT , THEN SOME ONE COME ALONG AND THE REST IS WHAT IT IS

Personally I think you have it backwards ... The 2011 Mustang was Ford's answer to the 2010 Camaro. Chevy will answer back with something bigger and badder, and the war goes on ...

[Sax1031]

I don't think so.

When the 5th gen came out it bested the others. Ford and Dodge had to do something to answer.

Now in the big boy pony car arena. Dodge and Chevy are playing catch up to Ford.

Mustang is ahead of Camaro? How so? I mean basically dead even in power, the Camaro is arguebly the best looking for the the money. I'll give Ford some props, but at the very most the cars are dead even at this point. Next year let's see how they try to separate from each other.
