i think the current Camaro is comparable to the previous 4.6 mustang, in most terms.

The 5.0 is a step or 2 above the current Camaro, theres no way around this.

Which is sad considering GM was basically out of the pony car game for 8 years.

I think camaros only looked good when they first came about. Their newness has worn off and most of the ones I see are just blah. The mustang is still good looking and the performance is just crazy with it. Id be tempted to get a Mustang with the RTR deal and a track package. If wanted to go on looks though, id probably just get a challenger

Camaro 13.5 and Mustang low 12??? Thats a stretch in both directions. Hell I saw a C6 run a13.5....doesnt mean shit. Realistically with more hp and torque and 200lbs the #s should be closer...probably 2-3 tenths quicker in the stang on average.

Well i went tonight and checked out the Camaro, they only had a 6 speed 2ss for 39k. the car looks good but it does not respond like the Mustang. cornering feels the same, and the exhaust sounds more agressive. Pricing is an issue with the Camaro, they want 32k for a striped one. The sales guy said they are not really negotiating on them.
