This is a 100k car... F Sterling silver, this car better be made from platinum to support that price. So is this like the 67th different version of the mustang being offered?

Yes, the Z/28 could beat it soley because this mustang doesn't have a key start

Styling wise?
Hell yes. This is just the same old mustang we've been seeing for the last 4 years. I'm not really impressed. |

It's the nicest looking one so far, but it isn't going to be matched on the dyno with a top Camaro. The Camaro is not designed to compete with Saleen's Mustang. It only intends to beat the GT and the Challenger. It's a great car, but don't expect any production Camaro to roll out of the factory faster than the Mustang at the top of this page.

Ouch....upon looking at the car, I said, "nope."
Then, I read up on it.... HP to weight ratio....on what I expect.....I dunno about this one...performace wise. Then again, this isn't a factory spec car. It's built by an aftermarket company....kind of like Dick Herrell or some other aftermarket dealer... |

Doesn't matter if the z28 can handle it or not. A car done by an aftermarket company should not be compared to a stock factory vehicle. Apples to oranges. So lets get back to this once someone makes a special 650 hp camaro.

Pretty nice looking car. I especially like the back. No comparison to the camaro but still nice. As far as racing, I think it would be close.

Sometimes the spoiler is referring to an air diffuser beneath the bumper...I've seen that called a spoiler before. Not defending this 17,000th edition Mustang or anything though.
How funny that our stock car has to be compared to the 6-figure rare version of it's competitor. Awesome. |

I saw one of these on the road in baby blue and I think it is fugly from the rear. The rest of the car looks good especially the wheels, but I hope nobody ever gets it in baby blue ever again. Some lady was driving it so I figured it was just some appearance options and not any engine upgrades because it did not sound like 600 hp at all, nor could I hear it. Off topic but occasionally I see a yellow 2000-2004 V6 mustang "Python". It gives me a good laugh every time I see it.

If you mod a new camaro and put 100K into it, you'll probably blow the doors off that thing.

A new Camaro with a LS3 has way more potential than this mustang for a lot less $$$$. Better overall frame and suspension design and that LS3 has unlimited potential, I know, I see them at the track in Corvettes all the time waving bye bye to all the Mustangs. And look wise lets face it, the Challenger and new Camaro are in a whole different league than the Mustang.

I actually place the Stang and the Camaro (with an obvious edge tot he Camaro) in the same league, with the Challenger an obese bystander at the game. At least the Stang and Camaro stand a chance to have a competetive performance race, there's no chance that pig of a Dodge is going to do anything but make a lot of noise.
