Well, in my opinion, the Mustang and Camaro are both sufficiently fast. I do believe that a Mustang with a 3.73 will beat a Camaro with both drivers being equal, but so what?
I hate to say this, the real issue for me is that I "think" that the Mustang may have a more solid interior and the manual shift quality is a bit higher.
I have been dead set on buying a Camaro since the concept and I am very close to buying it. Well, last week for shoots and giggles, I decided to test drive a Challenger (its OK) and a Mustang 5.0 (very nice). I am now very torn. I will conduct my final test drive on 5/3 (tomorrow) and make the decision. At this point, I am leaning towards the Mustang.
Something just doesn't feel right about it since I have been a huge Camaro fan for so long and I come from a GM family. I have been driving Chevy for past 20 years. But in the end, the car I like the most is going to win.
BTW, as a disclaimer. I do think that both the Camaro and Mustang are awesome cars. Its nice to be faced with this decision. If I was buying a 2012 model, maybe it wouldn't even be a choice (assuming Camaro is getting upgraded interior).
