ps: there's no way that f150 would ever beat the camaro or 5.0 unless it was heavily modded.

my 5.4 3 valve i put in my 96 weighed 750lbs with all accesories. that was weighed by the shipping company.

a cast iron 4.6 2v weighs near 600lbs.
4 valve aluminum motors weigh about the same.---heads are HEAVY

a supercharged 5.4 is a fat pig. heaviest motor since big blocks.

the LS3 is lighter by 15 or so lbs than a coyote. but the coyote weight is fully dressed with fluids. dont know about the LS3.

I have to say that I like the options for the fiber optic colors and locations of all the light accents. The wife thinks the Mustangs seats are a tad more comfortable, I do not. I can't honestly say I saw a difference in the 2011 and the 2010.

I'm not a fan of the huge plastic engine cover on the 5.0. I think the Camaro's has a nicer looking engine compartment. The additional 1.2L's don't hurt either.

Plus, the lines on the Camaro are more appealing to me as well. The rear of the Mustang is just God Awful. It's like they have run out of original ideas and desided to just stretch the back out and call it a day. (Yes, I realize that there are other changes, again the 2011 looks just like the 2010)

Alas the Mustang was written off.

Pretty good assessment. I agree on the Mustang styling, especially the rear. I think the Mustang has a great side profile, but they need to do something to the front and rear to make it have a more aggressive look. The fake hood scoop doesn't help.

I preferred the previous gen Mustang's looks with the big Elanor fog lights up front and that flat rear with the bigger spoiler option.

I really like the Mustang interior though. Everything felt of quality and was nicely laid out. It also won't be dated too quickly either as it's not faddish. It is a bit cramped though, and I'm not a big guy. The Challenger is heavier, but dang it's like sitting in a lazy boy cruising down the hwy LOL.

Well I have both of the cars and I must say the Mustang makes a better daily driver in every way... Interior, ride quality, acceleration and easeist to drive by far... The only thing I cant get over however is that my 2SS IOM Camaro just draws more attention and I like when people notice my cars.

You crack me up man.

All day everyday? All day and holidays? You could go "old school" and go streakng through the quads with will ferrel?, snoop-a-loop? Cause saying it is just as cool as ACTUALLY having it. Really it is. I'm gonna go new school and bolt on a blower too! And make 570hp! And run 9s! Then bolt on another blower! And make a million hp! See? I can do it too.

Then you should take a Challenger out for an afternoon. Women literally throw their underpants at me when I drive mine.

This thread is now about dogs.

My dog is on my front lawn going poop. It's nasty.
