I have a 2011 mustang 5.0 for a week - Page 2

Glad you got a chance to toss the GT a bit.

I think it's great we get all these choices again. Trust me, after the late 70's and most of the 80's, I thought the muscle car era was done forever. Corvettes with just over 200 hp. Styling was boxy and uninspired. It was brutal.

I love the looks of the Challenger and Camaro. I prefer the look of the pre '11 Mustangs. I don't like what they did to the tail lights on the new Mustang. Yeesh. A nod to the '77 Toyota liftback?

I'm enjoying my Camaro. But I'm glad the Mustang and Challenger are out there, too.

It looks like a blue skittles.

I ordered a 2SS/RS Camaro (got my VIN# yesterday) while I was waiting I picked up a 2011 Shelby GT500. If you think the 5.0 Mustang is nice, you wouldn't believe the 550HP Shelby. It handles terrific, sounds great, and the power is WOW.

I think the Camaro is going to just as much fun since you are pushing 426 unsupercharged power, which is more then enough!

If that 5.0 is a manual with 3.73's don't drive it TOO much or you might decide to overlook the exterior & interior styling.

Friend of my has one and he let me drive it hard. Wow....VERY impressive.

But......in my opinion the looks of the Camaro (outside AND inside) absolutely BLOWS AWAY the Mustang, and besides.....I'm a die-hard GM guy!

Hey the best part is that it comes with 2 different kinds of cool aid, strawberry or orange. Now that’s convenient.

GT500 Took my breath away, SSR took my appetite away.

Nice rides

Mustangs have Electric Power Assist Steering. (EPAS). That, plus the Chinese built transmissions, nixes any ideas for me to look there.

I refuse to step into the EPAS future. If Chevrolet makes it standard on the Camaro, then I'll be looking at a different sedan again. Or maybe a truck, or a Jeep.
