Best friend bought a 14 Mustang

My best friend just bought a 2014 Mustang and its pretty cool looking! Im not a big chevy vs ford person I just appreciate a good looking car when I see it. I talked him in to getting the deep impact blue which is a really sharp color. . .

Heres what I thought was interesting, when I first got my camaro I let him take it for a drive and he loved it! I took his for a drive this weekend and really didnt care for it. Seemed a little more responsive from a stop but other than that it was meh. Of course I would never tell him that bc he is elated about this thing haha. After I drove his, I got back in mine and we went for a cruise. I immediately fell in love with mine a little more. Everything felt better. Interior . . line of sight . . throttle response . . speed . . everything! And I am not afriad to admit my car is inferior to other cars. Ive read thread after thread about how the v6 mustang is faster than the camaro but I didnt feel it. Great car but camaro wins in my test drive!

I chose a camaro because I see 5389475 mustangs on the road and wanted to be unique. However, if I went to texas it seems like I would feel the opposite perhaps.

Most of the magazines used the performance package when testing the Mustang V6, has 3.31 gears instead of the standard 2.73. The 2.73's suck on a stock Mustang.

Haven't personally driven a new Mustang but from the outside they're beautiful. The interior, while aging, is pretty nice also. Will be interested to see how they improve with the next gen.

Lol I have a hat that says Friends don't let friends drive Fords. I wore it for 3 days while a friend and I were trying to fix his Mustang.... He ended up trading it for a Chevy truck....

Yea the new mustang's are nice but nothing compares to the camaro . All of the unique details and the interior is like no other in the camaro. I wouldn't not buy the camaro even if the whole world had one. all that matters is that I own one. Because I would still want one if I didn't have one.

I tried to tell my twin that... but he has a mind of his own. He purchased a 2013 Mustang 5.0. His rational was, since I have the Camaro, he wanted to keep the sibling rivalry going.
