The 5.0L Mustang is still as rumored as the Z28. I doubt that the hype around that motor will put it above a 2011 Camaro anyway. It'll make the race closer than it is now, but remember that the 5.0L will weigh more than the current motor. Maybe that'll take the chip off of the shoulder of current Mustang owners who feel that their lightweight but technically inferior Ford will win the scale. I'm sorry, but winning on the scale is not the same as posting impressive times at the track. If you guys really cared about weight, you'd all be rolling without back seats.
It is possible that the car is better for you. The ride will be different, although technically inferior; the heritage is Ford, not GM; the look is American but different than the alternatives; the underdog factory makes the Mustang GT a fun car to tune because it can be improved to outperform the competition and come back from behind. |
How am I biased? I said I wanted a 5th gen Camaro. I concluded my statement by saying that the Ford Mustang was a better car for ME. I'm not here bashing the new Camaro. I love Ford and I love Chevy, plain and simple.
And no, the 5.0 is not as rumored as the Z-28. Just come over to themustangsource.com and you'll find a boatload of info. Do you really think that the new 5.0 will make the difference of 300-400 lbs? I think not. It will more than likely gain weight, but nowhere near that much.
I just feel the Mustang will suit me better and provide for a much more fun car.
You Camaro guys seem to have your panties in a bunch with the revelation of the new Mustang. What's the deal?
