I hate to admit this, but if I had $50K to buy a car, as much as I love the Camaro, I would have an EXTREMELY hard time try to choose between the 2SS or the GT500 (I'm 17, so I dont have the cash for either one, I'm just daydreamin' ). Both of them have their down sides, and good sides (good over rules bad on both cars). They will both be incredible cars, that I'm pretty sure of.
obviously you dont know too much about cars. please link both sites showing where the GT500 is lighter than the Camaro.


This should be good.


let me help you, "Unfortunately, one aspect that didn't change is the cast iron engine block. The aluminum block that was used in the Ford GT supercar had a dry sump system that can't be packaged in the Mustang. Thus, the iron block from the F-150 was used with the top end of the GT engine, which pushed the car's weight up over 3,900 lbs. That makes the GT500 both the heaviest and most powerful Mustang.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
