I never owned the 5.0. Couldn't afford it.

That's how i wound up where I am.

It's kind of hard to compare the GT and the SS bc the price there is apples to oranges, with the SS being thousands more.

I love my new SS and it runs pretty close to my 5.0 Mustang and luckily I havent had 1 problem with it and the styling on the Camaro is so much better in my opinion but I will always love Ford and its great what they accomplished without having to get Govt. loans but it could have easily been Ford as well they were all in bad shape. I dont think its so much quality its because there are so many imports allowed into this country and people who try and justify buying those imports say "they are built in the USA" and maybe some are however at the end of the day the PROFITS go straight to Tokyo, South Korea or wherever they are from so I am glad we still have the Mustang and the Camaro its been a great rivalry and will be for many years to come. (I hope)....I dont think you can go wrong with either car.

Well said. I wish the Challenger would hang around too, but word is Dodge is pulling the plug soon. :(

Competition is a good thing!

Not sure what your comment is supposed to mean.

Both company's (Ford and GM) do business with China.
My point was, if they didn't neither would stay in business much longer.

Your the one wanting them out of China.

I'm sorry, I thought the cobra had a 5.0, my mistake.

$2600 difference, base GT and 2SS. 2SS being more expensive, I'm not sure how that small of a price difference would sway one from purchasing a car they really wanted. Just my opinion.

The 2SS models at our dealership sticker for $39k. I wish it was $28.

Maybe I just can't find the deals you all can.
