Yesturday i went with the G/f and a friend to take a look at both the Camaro, and new GT. Id say, seeing them both for the second time, I got a more balanced look.

Well to be fair, it was hard for me to focus on the Camaro, they had a brand new CTS-V sitting next to it in the showroom and that got 98% of my attention. If only i had 60k to spend...

But anyways, What really jumped out at me is how much bigger the Camaro is than the mustang.. The hood on the Camaro came up MUCH higher than the mustang, which made it appear to be a good deal bigger than it was. The Exterior of the Mustang has nothing on the Camaro, and the interior of the Camaro (3rd time ive seen it) is still a mess imo.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Are you gonna take it to the track? If not I wouldn't waste the money.

I will also have them put the frpp short throw(hurst) if I don't like the stock. But so far I have heard no negatives on the stock shifter

I gotta disagree...if he plans to even drive the car "spiritedly", ultra-powerful brakes are going to save his life when he gets into a "spot"......I would know....

and fwiw, a friend of mine strongly reccomends Baer. He claims his rotors from them lasted over 100,000 miles. I don't doubt him, this guy's been around the block more than once, if you get what I mean. The savings in that, he said, offset the initial sticker shock of their systems....and he continued to say that they DID save his life at one point...which made $4,000 seem like peanuts.
