It shouldn't matter what car you trade you camaro for but some people tend to get their panties in a bunch whenever it is a Mustang.
Your first hand experience, tell us what you like and dislike about both cars.

Congrats and enjoy your new ride.

also about what i disliked about the camaro was it, may sound silly but, i HATED the attention it brought. it kinda sucks when every kid in your neighborhood wants to put their hands on it thinking its friggin bumblebee it was nice at first but eventually i hated it. the visibilty wasn't great it had way too many blind spots so i had some close calls, which in turn made the car feel uncomfortable to drive as a daily driver. and it sounded nice, but in the end of the day i always had envy when i would hear someone else's 5.0 they just sounded like heaven coming out of two pipes. no factory gear ratio adjustments kinda sucked also unless i wasn't aware that it was available i may be proven wrong...

now things i'd change about the mustangs is NO LAUNCH CONTROL, but then again i was advised to not use it on the camaro haha. the doors panel is a bit too plasticy but in the end of the day my camaro also had plasticy parts that i guess in a car in this price range you can't avoid. also a problem that both of these cars have is i wish they had a better place for the cup holders its kind of annoying if your car is manual to have a big cup in it. and theirs no factory short throw which is kinda lame i guess makes up with the gear ratio adjustments? also i haven't found a VERY GOOD forum as quickly for it like i did for the camaro haha...

I disagree w/your choice but certainly respect your right and the competition. +1 on the cup holders w/the MT but it's a small price to pay. Makes you wonder if anyone tried driving it with a cup in the cup holder during development. Love my factory hurst shifter btw sans cup.

I'm a Mustang guy that bought a SS so I understand. They were just not dealing on them when I was in the market so I had to pass. Nice car! You really can't go wrong with any of the new pony cars.

How much did you get for your Camaro? I love your Mustang. I tried to find a Lava red 11' GT and couldn't find one so I found my other favorite color Synergy green!

Mikeg1028 · 11-15-2011, 01:01 PM

31000

armysig · 11-15-2011, 01:09 PM

Nothing wrong with the Mustang. I have learned through the years, you need to get things that make you happy. No sense in keeping something that is going to be a pain in the butt.

vroomapunk · 11-15-2011, 01:10 PM

Good for you, even if the mustang was cheaper and had 100 more hp with a nicer interior, there is something in my blood or DNA that just will not allow me to buy anything but a Chevrolet if im buying American, its a curse really, I dont want to hate mustangs but it wont go away, I am getting better though!

Nice car man
