I know your kidding, but when chevy discontinued the camaro in 2002, the mustang was basically the pu$$y getter for 8 years, I have a camaro now, but still have a soft spot for a nice mustang.

Actually, I never owned a Camaro. I just thought I would for almost 4 years (hence the username) before changing my mind at the last minute.

Congrats on your new car. The new 5.0 are one badazz ride. FYI don't check out the 2013' the upgrade on the outside will make you trade up again ;o).

Dammit. I really have to stay off of here when I've been into the Captain Morgan.

Nice ride, I hope you enjoy it.
From now on we're enemies. Lol

yes, my camaro is (not doing it until tomorrow) a V6. My dad has had a 2011 mustang GT since 2011 and i love the engine in them.

the price i got on the mustang is $22,825. only getting $21,500 for my trade in :/
the mustang has 35k miles on it. my camaro has 6k miles.

for the record:
-i still think the camaro body style looks better
-i still think the camaro handles better
-i still like the interior of the camaro better
-would probably still take an SS over a GT 5.0 if price was equal.

on the other hand:
-V6 VS. V8...enough said
-V6 camaro = 17city/28hwy...V8 mustang = 17city/26hwy MPG
-i like the 5.0 engine better than the LS3 stock (LS3 is better for modding i think)
-i could not find a camaro SS in my price range =(
-i like the color scheme much better. sorry, but i see silver cars WAAAY too often to like silver anymore.
-the sound of the stock 5.0 engine/exhaust is incredible.

I guess you came out ok on price then. And once you get more seat time and get more acclimated, I think you'll change your mind on the handling aspect. Handling and all that subjective "feel" stuff was the main reason I changed my mind after a few test drives of each.

Me too. I think the 2013-14 Mustang looks swollen and mis-shaped...it's almost like the 2010-12 looks ready for a fight, while the 2013-14 looks like its already been in one.

Whoa. Lots of respect (and even a little love). Should have seen the "love" I got on a Challenger forum when I said I was Considering a Mustang!
