But yeah I agree...it is funny none have tested the auto RT. And I do agree they are usually quicker than the 6 speed cars...they must be very difficult to launch.

From what i understand the 6 speeds have a bit of a wheelhop issue, the autos are surprising to sa the least and are generall right there with their SRTs. One reason IMHO that new 6.4 is so important to the SRTs

I test drove a v6 mustang and for the life of me couldnt get that thing to go into 2nd or 3rd without a second try. The shifter sucks.

So is a gt500 an exotic? No. "exotic" has less to do with performance than it does with design and exclusivity. It's not a negative thing to say that the zr1 isn't an exotic, it's just not part of the category.

That does not make it an exotic, it just makes it fast.

We ran them head to head. They performed flawlessly. Beucase of the press we cannot announce the results. We will post more details in the next few days as we break down the data. Here is a teaser video clip.

Yeah I guess, but it's an "exotic" to a lot of us in this thread.

Well, actually stopped to look at the Mustang GT today. They didn't have a GT-500. The GT is the closest competitor to the 2SS/RS, so I wanted to check it out.

Let's compare apples to apples here:

HP and times are real close. The GT engine is impressive, but the LS3 is no slouch. I prefer the independent rear of the Chevy, but some reports show the Ford to handle better.

The GT was actually more money for less car. The interior was nice, but some parts feel kinda cheap. I'm guessing to save weight. The sound system blew away GM's Boston system. The leather feels good, but felt a little cramped, although there was more head room than Chevy. Both have USB and IPod connections. The GT had a nice size nav screen and cool little lights to illuminate the door grip. The 2SS's come with ambient lighting in the door panels that is alot more impressive. Both have room in the back seat for a small bag of groceries.

The GT sat on 19's wrapped with Pirrelli. The SS has 20's with the same brand rubber. The GT brakes may work well, but fronts were not painted and the rears brakes were rough cast aluminum, Ford what were you thinking? This makes the car look cheap. The SS has big Brembo's front and rear painted to look as nice as they work. The Ford rear spoiler feels thin and cheap. The side window louvers, hood scoop and the lower side scoops looked pasted on. Oh yeah, That's right..... they were.

The GT was lacking HID headlights included with the SS/RS and the RS halo's give it a distinct look.

OK, let me just say..... GT's sound great. The Camaro seems too quiet.

The GT was $41,000.

Sticker on a loaded 2SS/RS with all factory options except for ground effects and 21's is under $37,000.

I know.... you Mustang guys want to compare the $50,000+ GT-500 to the SS. That's not really apples to apples....... It's just bananas!

...and we have another comparison thread. Expect to get flamed by both Camaro and Mustang owners alike.

I would not consider the GT500 in the same class as the Camaro SS. It outperforms the SS in every way period.

I would consider the GT in the same category. Sounds like you sat in the car, started it, but did not actually drive it. The only accurate comparison to be made is by driving both.

The rest of your post is subjective. The Camaro is a fantastic car. The Mustang is a fantastic car. Both have their highs and lows.
