I really don't understand this...
The Ford Mustang earned Best Sports Car honors for the second straight year, as Consumer Reports analysts noted the 5.0-liter V8 in the GT coupe provides excellent acceleration and good fuel economy in its class.
Why isn't the Camaro ever mentioned???? |

Because, just like in the school system, it's never nice not to give the "slow" kids an award every once in a while

I bought a 2011 California Special Convertible last weekend. 5.0, 6 SP Manual. A lot of fun but wife says "Which one do I get the Camaro or the Mustang?" I handed over the keys to the Mustang.

looking at each car with a un bias point of view. the mustang is little better overall performer over the camaro. still i feel the camaro looks much better, and drives better overall. but again looking at numbers is different. honestly you have to be very ignorant to think one is better than the other. both are great in there own way.

Everyone has their preference. Just learn to accept it as fact of life and the car hobby. Being biased is stupid IMO.

I rather real life stuff than magazines, to the owner of the car it matters what they think about it anyway not what a magazine says. |

I was so close to buying a 5.0 instead of my camaro. It just came down to how I felt in the car and the (relative) rarity of the Camaro. I actually think the 5.0 was a little a little more fun and 'racy', of course that was before I got LT's

Wow, I can't believe some of the locals on this forum haven't already said "it's because consumer reports sucks, they're second rate, they don't know what they're talking about." and so on, and so on, and so on.
LOL |
