Give me the looks of the SS and the power of the GT500. Oh wait, that would be the Z28 that will be out next year.

Your the BIGGEST Ford Fan boy EVER! Take your biased reviews off youtube and cry about the Mustang to someone else who cares

How much did Ford pay you to post this crap review? You do realize the driver's seat does go up and down? I put my GPS on the console. I'm a woman and I think the visibility if fine. I love my Camaro SS and I'd kick your Mustang's ass with it.

Look, if you drive a camaro SS and are happy with it, then I'm happy for you. I'm glad you bought the car you wanted. But blindly accusing me of taking money from Ford to give a FAIR review of the Camaro is completely ridiculous and un-called for. I WISH Ford, GM, or anyone would pay me to review their cars favorably, but they don't. If they did, I'd be rich as hell right now. I have no motivation to say one thing vs. another in a review besides my own integrity.

Ya, Matt will reply to the nutswingers. He is really into 'drivers cars', which the SS is not. Nothing negative about the SS in that statement, most folks did not buy the SS for corner carving, they bought it for other reasons. The review was spot on from a guy that is into 'drivers cars'.

Again, the review he provided is HIS take on the car....I have never visited a Ford or Mustang forum in my life, but I have to be honest with you I'm tempted to just to see if the Bow Tie crowd on Ford sites are as big of tools as the Ford guys are on here.

Enjoy it's was pretty much impromptu with a digital camera on video mode zip tied to the grill so I didnt know what I had until I got back. A lot of good footage was lost like a run in with a hot rod ram diesel blowing lots of black smoke.

Typical responses, Any reviewer who doesn't absolutely praise and worship the Camaro is biased and paid off by Ford. LMAO.

Huh? Matt said flat out that the Camaro corners better than the Mustang due to it's IRS. As a matter of fact, his knocks against the Camaro were all interior/cosmetic things. I think you guys should watch the review again. He's impressed by the Camaro's performance, whether you guys agree or not.

I went down today and test drove a 2011 GT automatic car. interior styling is dead even in my opinion. the mustang has just as much plastic as the camaro. the one i drove was a base model with nearly zero options( just the way i like em) two totally different cars when comparing the camaro and mustang. the mustang seems to hit it's sweet spot from 4500 rpm and up. i would have bought the mustang had they not lowballed me on trade value. they offered 28 grand for a 2SS 6M with 3000 miles on it..
