well, a DOHC supercharged v8 northstar fit in the XLR-V which was based on the c6 vette, so it is possible albeit more challenging....i agree with you guys though, the compact packaging of the LSx/LTx is very appealing

http://www.chevrolet.com/performance...gines/lt1.html Price for an LT1 crate motor is $11000 USD. https://parts.audiusa.com/parts/2014...E&group=ENGINE Price for an Audi 4.2 V8? $21998.98 Both are not bad engines by any means (particularly the Audi, if you're a masochist and/or you hate money), but, going by the merits of these two motors alone, it's pretty hard to justify the Audi considering it doesn't make any more power than the LT1, makes considerably less torque, (again) is heavier, less fuel efficient and considering the DOHC layout, I strongly doubt it's a physically smaller engine.

Oh, you might want to let these guys know that their lame 2v pushrod engines can't make 507hp @ 7800rpm...oh, wait, they actually put out 700+hp at around 9000rpm...

You are totally wrong on that one. One of them IS bad. The Audi engine has had some serious problems. Take a look at this article:
http://jalopnik.com/here-s-why-the-v...car-1676466510 That engine has big-time timing chain issues. Plus, this engine is HUGE!! It's bigger, heavier, less torque, less efficient (even if they AREN'T lying on this one), and cost more than twice as much. Oh, and by the way, the RS5 is much slower than the Camaro, and it costs twice as much. I would hate to have to change out the timing chains and hardward on the Audi engine: Last edited by whiteboyblues2001; 09-23-2015 at 09:14 AM. |

Thats what I have concluded. Even taking into account a slight language barrier.

That thing looks like a nightmare. And people complain about the "complexity" of Coyote's timing gear:

I too have also owned both a mustang and Camaro. My mustang was my first car so when I see one it gives me that nostalgic feeling! But the Camaro has been the most exciting car I have owned. Both performance and aggressive looks! What more could you want.
I currently traded in my 2012 explorer to drive a 2009 civic so that I could eliminate a car payment and save for the new 6th gen Camaro. I did look at the new 6th gen mustang and I do like it, but don't love it. The gt350 was a strong contender until I realized it was out of my price point. Bottom line for me is that the Camaro looks better and has better performance, I can't deny that. For me it's soon to be a 1SS, red hot, NPP, MRC, NAV! |

I like both. I have driven a 2015 GT on a short trip (currently running 12.1 with a mail order tune and drag radials) and I also recently rented a 2015 Mustang V6 convertible. I really liked the vert. The base Mustangs now come well equipped. I am not quite as fond of the Pre 2015 Mustangs, but the 5.0s can be very fast.
Lots of cool people driving Fords, Dodges, and other stuff too. I am on my 6th Camaro/Firebird, but I have also owned Mustangs too. If you only think about buying one type of car you are definitely missing out. |

Without reading any of this thread and just answering the topic question, I have hated mustangs with a passion till the 03 cobra. Then hated them again till the last GT500 and now like the 550 and would buy a Gt350r if Chevy dropped the ball with the Z version. Then next GT500 or whatever they call it might have me after the Gen 6 Z.

As a car lover, I can't find myself hating any vehicle. Sure, I think the Pontiac Aztek is ugly and I think the interior in Hondas feel cheap and thin, as compared to what I'm used to. But to say that I hate any of those vehicles? To say that "I hate them with a passion" ? That's banana pants crazy, to me.

That's very interesting to me,
Hated them with a passion. Like, your hatred for them would keep you up at night. It consumed you, to the point where it was often in your mind, as you took a shower, while on the elevator at work... You were passionate about hating them, you'd go on campaigns to let other people know they should hate it too, post flyers, "Beware the Mustang!" and head up to Dearborn with some big posters to picket the outside of the Ford factory, "WHAT DO WE WANT? LESS MUSTANGS! WHEN DO WE WANT IT! NOW!" Anyway, that's what I would call hating it with a passion. Heh, I don't think I hate "with a passion." I hate balsamic vinegar, I think it smells like death and tastes even worse. But I most definitely wouldn't say I hate it with a passion. The opposite is probably true, though, I can say I am very passionate about my new Camaro order. To the point where it consumes me, where I think about it in the shower, or on the elevator at work. Though something tells me I'm not the only one with that feeling.
