im starting to really not care what the factory numbers are. if you want to be better than everyone else so badly..........its all about mods......just buy the car you like and go with it

No way! The original comparo in Motor Trend was accurate. Camaro won!

rodimus prime · 08-28-2009, 09:17 AM

I told people there was money involved and nobody believed me. The camaro won in almost every performance catagory, but they threw in the coolness factors and interior and the mustang got more points for that. They even rated the mustang as having a better trans then the manual 6 speed...and its a 5 speed.

Its a moneyhat article, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Probably from a pure driving strandpoint the Rustang is a more plearsurable car to drive on a track. But I have NEVER had more satifisfaction from a new car than my 2SS....period

LOL @ the article being paid off. you know this for sure? no if and or buts about it, according to you the article was DEFINITELY paid off? for sure for sure? because the mustang is basically a rolling POS and can never outhandle any camaro EVER or even come close?

READ the actual article instead of looking at the cover and going NO WAY!!!!
they clearly outline their choices and why. sorry had to voice my opinion i have never seen this level of "NO WAY MAN NO WAY NO FRIKKIN WAY" before.

i will be nice now

On the cover it says Mustang wins with less power. Wins what? Who compares muscle cars on interior and trunk space? I READ the article and its B.S. They judged the mustang as a better car because of interior and 1 better handling aspect. On paper the Camaro won most of the performance tests. They are deceiving people into thinking the Mustang is a faster/more capable car with 100 less hp. When in fact the camaro is an aftermaket sway bar away from beating the Mustang in every performance catagory.

Do you honestly believe the Mustang is a better performance car?

Its a moneyhat article. Just like how they used the Mustang as KITT in the new knight rider and how GM got the Camaro to be Bumblebee.

Do you honestly think the Mustangs 5 speed manual is a better performance transmisson than the Camaros 6 speed tremec? Cause they rated it better. LOL you know why. Because it accelerates the car faster from 60-120 in 5th gear than the camaros transmission does in 6th gear from 60-120. LOL. Put the Camaro in 5th and see what happens...LOL they probably didnt think of that because of $$$.

But you can think what you want, when you get walked by camaros all the time, even though Car and Driver says the Mustang wins.

But apparently I didnt read the article.
