Camaro looks better without a doubt. (I know that is subjective)--

I said the same thing when I first bought my Camaro in March. I test drove both back to back (a 2010 GT, obviously) and the Mustang felt fine. It was comfortable enough, fast enough, felt fine driving it. But it certainly didn't make my heart race. Nobody gave us a second look on the 30 min test drive. The process was altogether ho-hum... much like buying a family sedan. It was just business as I looked over the lot at the various Mustang colors and options. An hour later I'm down the block test driving a new Camaro SS and it was simply thrilling to look at them, much less drive them! On the 30 min test drive, I got 2 thumbs up and noticed several others staring as we drove past. You simply feel like a celebrity in a Camaro! I also couldn't believe the Camaro was only .6 faster in the quarter. It felt like an absolute BEAST in comparison to the 4.6L GT. Only one of them raised my pulse. I knew right then which one I'd be buying and have loved life every day since!
On a side note, I asked the young ford sales guys how these 2010s were selling with the knowledge that they would be getting a MUCH improved engine in a few months. He knew nothing of that news. His reply, "Really? oh well if you want that new power from the 2011s, it'll just be a chip. Bring your 2010 back to the dealership when they hit the streets and we'll give you that chip." How do these people make a living selling cars?
