Those who are saying the 6th gen is just a altered 5th gen need to get their eyes checked. If it was close to my 5 th gen style wise then maybe I would buy one. They tried to update the look and failed.....great performance numbers but not much to look at. Its not popular and 3 years into production its not getting better...sugar coat it anyway you want...its not happening with the current model. Maybe the 7th gen will be a somewhere in the middle of 5th gen styling and 6th gen performance.

Not a fan of the 5th gen retro style. Too big and boring.

As I posted earlier imho those looking for a bargain straight line performer like it or not the A10 5.0 (2018) is hands down the best bang for the buck period. A base car is 31k and outperforms (straight line) the 2016+ss stock for stock. Add f.i for 6-8k and you are 650+. Don't give me the no warranty argument or get a zl1 bc there is no debate for those who are not brand loyal and want a fast decent looking car but don't give 2 shits abt creature comfort gadgets. if money and a budget was an issue for me I sure as Hell would have bought a 5.0 A10 (although I prefer manuals) threw on a roush blower and been done for under 40k with a tune pushing 650 +/- rwhp. Not everyone is in a position spend 40k on a car then modify it for another 9-13k (ss) to reach those numbers, or spend 60k+ on a base Zl1. It's not rocket science, it's mathematics

last Saturday about how nice a car it is. Not to mention numerous thumbs up and "nice car " compliments I get often whenever I drive it. Not to shabby for a design that is somewhere around 13 or more years old. The 6th gen will never have the same affect regardless of opinions. People just like the retro style ..muscle car look of the 5th gen. Maybe the 7th gen will be a bit of both and do better. |

The Mustang is one big problem on wheels with inferior hardware and engineering. Because the 5.0 can tolerate boost 'sometimes' without blowing up is not enough to take a chance on buying a lemon. And the PP2 GT is Ford's pathetic attempt to compete with the 1Le when in reality, a regular SS would survive on a track much longer. A base Mustang deserves to be 31k and not a penny higher. Even the 2019s are already suffering. I'm not a glutton for punishment. And the Mustang is stale looking with that big gaping hole up front. To each his own. |

My point was, the Camaro is worth the extra. And BTW, you can get a Camaro SS for 30-35k. I paid around 35k for mine. So it's not like you're breaking the bank for the extras that come with the base SS. Having extra cooling, a better transmission and a more reliable motor is more than worth it. If that's too much for the 'poor' man then he's certainly biting more than he can chew. I've said it many times here. Bolting on a Supercharger or Turbo to ANY car and calling it a day to save money is doing it WRONG. |

That video is about as accurate as it gets when it comes to these 2 cars stock for stock. The fast lists on the forums correspond to what you see here. The Mustang is catching up as the quarter ends and generally trap a bit higher. So yes, beyond the quarter the Mustang would most likely pull past the Camaro, but before that, the Camaro is king. The torque of the LT1 is nothing to sneeze at or underestimate. |
