That's the one thing I think is too subtle on the car stock. When you get over 3,500 RPM the exhaust note really comes in. But unless you're mashing the pedal at every light there isn't much point in that.

Thats where I have to hand it to the Mustang. It sounds pretty good at idle.

Well considering how many miles is on that 5th Gen I'm sure the warranty is the least of your worries.

True but in 2010 when the GT only 315hp that didn't mean a damn thing compared to 400-426hp.

True. At the end of the day, it aint about how they sound. Its all about the way they move.

True, I've had mine since it arrived from the factory. Never thought the car was unresponsive at all. I see a lot of complaints about the L99 but its been plenty fast for me.

I need to pry open my check-book and buy an SS. Actually test driving one might just do the trick.

My warranty was gone before my Camaro even reached 100 miles, like Vinny says warranty what is that my Camaro only has 800 miles, but those are hard driving miles, Longtubes and exhaust is absolutely worth it, I could never be happy with a bone stock Camaro, if I get a ZL1 it will also go right to Jannettys

Question for you. Three Bitchin' Camaros, and a two car garage. How does that work?
