I'm sure the sixth gen camaro will get the same magnitude of upgrade that the corvette has seen.



That is just very plain to me. To each his own though. Interior is not the highest priority for me anyway.

Yea, in that pic it does look plain but other pictures it doesn't. I think the new mustang dash has a lot of holes for vents and stuff in the middle. But I don't car for the brush metal look. I'm more for the color interior look.

It's like this for me.


As far as what is it missing from the 1st Gen, It's the same thing the entire car is missing. But these are different times and we'll never have cars like the ones in the late 60's anymore.

Of course I haven't seen one in the flesh yet so I may end up not caring for it either. I know I like the interior in my 2014 Raptor much better than my ZL1. The materials have a more upscale feel and the look and layout of everything is very appealing.

Hahaha .. Well different strokes for different folks ! Because all the stuff I named was what I wouldn't change about the interior.

Agreed to disagree. For me, the pluses well out weigh the minuses when it comes to the Camaro. That's why I currently have one over the Mustang. By the way. I also think the current Mustang has a nicer interior if you get the upgraded one or the GT500.

So you don't like the IOM interior or the green?

No, I do like the IOM interior more. I've never seen the green. I didn't know they made it in green. Can you show some pictures?

Also, I'm not saying it's bad at all. There is certainly far worse. I just think in a 60k car it should be a little better.

OH, OK! Well I checked the gt500 interior and nah I'll pass some stuff look outdated well the center stack. But I like how it's the mustang own interior . I don't have a way to post them on here because my phone don't like posting for some reason. I need to get another phone but you can just put it in the search bar to see the interior.

It's been a nice conversation. though!

I'll google it. LOL Thanks man.

To keep its price as segment-leading, there's only so much aluminum/titanium/magnesium/hss that can possibly be added and still maintain a mid-$20s price point, Base. When you're building cars with 450 hp potential, and beyond, you can't build the platform from aluminum foil. And for all the specs released for the 5.0 engine, its weight was NOT a reason for flag-waving.

The speculation from the Ford camp was "2-300 lb savings" for Mustang. That 200 savings would benefit greatly from an all-aluminum Turbo-4 with a Performance Package including forged aluminum wheels to get to a savings of "200 lb", if that is possible. The fact they were secretive about the actual Curb weight leads all present media to suspect the weight-savings are NOT "across the board". True, until Ford pulls the covers off that tidbit, no one FOR SURE knows, but the composition of the platform and body structure doesn't SHOW a V8 Mustang has attained a 200 lb. diet.

Meanwhile, the worst-kept secret @ GM is the Gen-6 Camaro will be smaller, overall, and built from a derivative of the ATS platform, internally known as Alpha. We know what those ATSs weigh, in Turbo-4/V6 variants. And those weights are at or below current '14 Mustang.

Keep in mind the C7 is now aluminum-framed, and seats 2. It curbs @ 3300 lb.

If you take a 3500 lb. V6 ATS and add LT1/HD trannies/upgraded diff, you'll arrive at a weight similar to the current GT, which is close to 10% less than current SS, as suggested.

Speculation? No, deductive reasoning based on valid facts.

Speculation actually, not enough facts available on the new Mustang. The car is still undergoing final spec and certification. No final weight to announce yet.

GT500 / Cobra
What's the difference. The name change was for sales. Just wanted to add that inefficient info.

Every aspect ? Well if you are talking about the following: 0-60, 1/8, 1/4, streetlight to streetlight, roll, and top end the 5.0 is faster, lets not even mention the Boss. If you are talking about the curves the 1LE is faster. The problem is in all my years of racing I've never had anyone ask me if I wanted to race around a curve, although I wouldn't have minded giving it a try .

You sir must work for MSNBC. You edited my post #617 and took it out of context. That statement was in comparison to my HS Monte Carlo.

This is the problem with the internet. You can make an idiotic post and unless someone has the presence of mind to call you on your douche baggery it would make me look like a fool.

Good day sir...

Lies! Carrol Shelby hand built those cars from 2007 to current. He's in there building late 2014s as we speak.

That or Ford doesn't even make the GT500. It's an aftermarket car and not comparable to other factory cars.

I read during the development of the Z/28 that the drivers had commented that on the Nurburgring the SS was comfortable hitting the brakes at the 125 foot mark. The ZL1 was around the 100 foot mark. The Z/28 was braking early at the 50-75 foot mark.

My wallet apparently can only afford the 100 foot mark.

When I was in HS I had a Monte Carlo that arguably had a better HP to weight ratio than my 1LE. It also had crap for suspension and brakes it had a ton of tire under it though.

I have a bit of a brake, suspension, wheel and tire fetish. To me you need to get all of this squared away before you throw a bunch of power in a car. I learned that it HS. While doing donuts after hitting gears and almost having to come to a complete stop to turn. It did run mid 12's in the 1/4. Not bad for 1989...

Apparently the Ford engineers skipped school that day... lol
