I agree with this. It's a quick car...but...it's not a "whole" car...if that makes sense.

Realisticaly I will never take my car to the track those days are over. So I am happy with Mustangs times and the fact that the live axle is almost nonexistant made the car quiet and smooth. I find no negatives with Mustang
Ironically, I started thinking along the same lines...then I went to compare for the things that I need in the car I want: HID lights, uplevel stereo, and cloth seating. The Mustang didn't match for me. And the closest match I had was $1000 more than the Camaro. Plus, I like the style of the Camaro's interior WAY better, and that's more important to me than material appointment (which, though not stellar, isn't "bad"). We've all seen Number 3 stuff two golf bags in the trunk, so I'm not too worried there. And I really like the added refinement the IRS gives the car (performance numbers aside). That ended the comparison for me: Camaro > than Mustang for Dragoneye.

But guess what? I realized that both cars have a place in the market, and niether one needs to 'beat' the other. The Mustang works for ArcAngel...the Camaro works for me...and so it goes for every single member on this site. I say screw the arguments: Drive your car, and wave the flag!

You mean the charger interior with awsome Chrysler build quality and the fact that it steers turns and drives like the 4k plus that it is with that great mpg as well. Cmon it's the least competant of the 3

The interior is a win for me and so are the amenities, plus the trunk is more usable. Any questions?
Since you're getting the 2010 Mustang, I say good for you. It is a tough decision and one you will have to live with for awhile. It is true that the Camaro will turn more heads since it is newer for the next couple of years and it is true it is faster than the Mustang and handles better around a track due to the IRS. However with the track pack, the 2010 Mustang becomes quite a competitor and the IRS advantage almost disappears. .2 seconds difference is huge in a race, but not that huge when it comes to how fast the car feels. I'vce owned a 1998 Mustang for 10 years now and it has been a great car all around with minor problems.

The new 2010 Mustang does look a lot better in the front than the 2009 Mustang while the rear became worse.. Since I'll be only seeing the front of your Mustang on the road through my rear-view mirror, that does not matter
