... The Challenger GT It may be a V6 but USA is getting Worst weather every year... so It make sense to get a Muscle car with AWD... If I lived next to canada I would def get a GT over a WRX.. still Dodge has been showing more than One V8 AWD Challenger prototype cars on the last months so Im sure at some point they will do it, heck some people even say the Demon will have a AWD mode.

My main concern is the Camaro is not selling like GM would like even with the mustang being the Underdog... what will happend to sells if the mustang is no longer the Underdog? also mustang is currently in sale in way more countries than the camaro and due to some countries displacement tax the SS is almost M4 price ranged (Like Colombia)

With the same hp and 10 speed its going to be close to the Camaro but still heavier a bit.

...and not the same amount of TQ. The LT1 will make more torque, and will make that TQ earlier in the RPM range.

This, and the very slight weight advantage are what I think will keep the Camaro an equal or even still slightly ahead in the 1/4 mile. But the gap we see now is going to be mostly gone.

Poor OP, absolutely clueless.

Poor mustang was the one that had to do the "catching up" part...

Even with the new tech/power train updates, thing got even uglier. New mustang looks like an abortion. Look at that severe overbite, its heinous!

6G camaro ALL the way, no contest.

shit I was 43 when I bought my Mustang. Where were you to tell me it was a 20 somethings car? guess I should have got the 3.7L too huh?

redcoats1976 · 02-05-2017, 01:10 PM

no,you should buy what ever you want.i was still driving a 66 pontiac tempest with modded 400,cam,judge intake and carb until i was like 48.8 mpg,4 bucks a gallon gas and no creature comforts finally put an end to that one.looked at the mustangs but just liked the camaro better this time.bought the pontiac when i was 25,the wife hated it from the beginning and only drove it once in 25 years(im good with that)she has yet to sit behind the camaro wheel too...

Not necessarily. On the one hand, I am very glad that Chevy and some of the other manufacturers abandoned the practice of riding a design for a decade. At one point it became depressing to look at new cars because they were either bland or not different from the previous versions.

On the other hand, one has to be careful not to get caught up in having the latest new thing out there. One doesn't necessarily have to change cars just for the sake of having the latest design. If your current car satisfies your needs and wants then you should definitely stick with it. The constant design changes have one main goal in mind; to stimulate the buying public to continually buy a product. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you are neglectful and end up spending more than you are able to afford.

redcoats1976 · 02-06-2017, 06:51 PM

my camaro is my 5th car in 35 years.as long as its holding up well i like it as much as my old tempest so it could be good for 20 years or so.
