Drove a Mustang 5.0 Yesterday

Geesshhh! I drove a $38k 2012 Mustang yesterday for at least an hour and, if the Mustang Fanboys are bragging on that car, I feel sorry for them. Here's stuff that's standard on the Camaro SS that the Stang doesn't have. Pneumatic hood prop, lockable glove box, telescoping steering wheel, electric seat back adjuster with electric seats, Brembo brakes, inside the car trunk release, did you see the ugly antenae, modern AC controls, and it rode like a log truck, or a go cart. It had some severe suspension thumping and rattles going over bumps, and get this: not one person stared and smiled at the new red Mustang like they do at my nearly 2 year old Camaro!!! $38,000 good grief! The engine felt more responsive than my car when it was bone stock, and it had the 6 speed auto trans with 3:15 gears, tiny tires that you could spin relatively easy. My 17 year old Grand daughter was with me and she said, "Anyone would be crazy to trade a Camaro like your's for this car!" That kind sums up my feeling as well. Keep your Camaro!
