There is no reason to start fighting just because one guy like Mustang, and another likes the Camaro. This is the "General Auto + Other Car Discussion" section afterall. Please, let there be peace in this thread. This is supposed to be a cool place, not a war zone.
Ahem, you forgot to say Corvette!

i totally agree with dragon,

and i have always liked the mustang and the chally,

I saw the new mustang at the LA car show. I wanted to like the car and when I saw it, I must say I was impressed. Then I sat in it and was very disappointed, the seat was just boarder line uncomfortable and the interior looked cheap, too much plastic. I overheard several people around the car say the same thing. My girlfriend who is a diehard mustang fan, left disappointed, same reasons as mine even though we didn't exchange notes at that time. I hope that it will offer different interior options and that the drive will impress as much as the sheet metal. I was encouraged that my girlfriend took more pictures of the camaro than the mustang with no prompting from me and on her camera.

The current signature reflects the power level with a 3" upper pulley and custom 93 octane tune on the car. It makes a little more than that on the 93 octane "shootout" tune.

Here's a vid of the car running at Beech Bend this past summer sans the custom tune.(~680rwhp)

Nice car. Clearly an improvement, but it still needs to up the engine.

That car could twist in half, LOL! That's a lotta' power!!! That statement reminds me of the line from Fast and the Furious when Vin says that Charger (was it?; I can't remember) has so much torque the chassis twists coming off the line, LOL!

It's too bad the interior may leave a little to be desired. I like this generation more than the last, looks-wise.

I don't like the hokey gauge font of the Camaro,but i hope it has as nice a interior as the G8,mainly the seats. That poncho feels like a Bimmer inside. From pics,the '10 Mustang interior looks pretty nice,but pics of the '05(before anyone sat in them)lead me to believe THAT interior was nice also
Why the disparity between American interiors? The new Ram has a gorgeous and high quality interior,yet the materials of the Charger interior makes me want to ,yet the Challenger being similar,feels much better. Same with Ford,the Lariat as opposed to the Shelby. It's amazing how a low cost GTI or Miata can have such a nice feeling interior yet GM or Ford can't manage on a Solstice or Mustang. The Solstice is particularly awful after you sit in the Saturn Sky. Why not enforce the same quality across the brand instead of hit and miss(Solstice vs Sky)? Side note,has anyone sat in a used Solstice?? The seats feel like they're completely give out,it's been like that on 3 used ones i've sat in,anyone else tried out a used Solstice?

my guess is the interior in the Camaro will be of higher quality than that in the Mustang. This is based on recent interiors that have come out of both companies.
