Agreed. I wanted a v8 badly, but I knew that with finishing my second degree and where I am in my life right now... it wasn't a smart idea to spend the extra $10-12k for an SS. The v6 Camaro is still a respectable car. Before you say never, maybe try test driving one. There are a lot of affordable mods that can be done to add some HP.

Besides, for a Mustang GT in those years, you're looking at 300HP, which is less than the Gen5 v6 Camaros. So if HP is your desire, really you're going to get more stock with the Camaro. Also-- if you're financing, you have to consider that the warranty is going to be up on that Mustang MUCH sooner than the new v6 Camaro. Some people don't want to make payments on a car that they don't have under warranty.

Ultimately, it's up to you, but even as a former mustang owner, I can say I wouldn't go with the mustang. I love my Camaro and I'm VERY happy with it!
