Call me a Ford fanboi or whatever but I have to STRONGLY agree with this one. I know but I am biased but I wasn't fond of the Camaro's interior at all.

I mean both car's exterior appearance can be taken differently depending on the person. But the interior, I don't know how people can say this looks ugly;



compared to this;



I love both cars exterior retro styling but not the interiors. I really don't see where people say the Mustang's is ugly when compared to the Camaro .

Agreed and thats one of the reasons I went back to a 2012 Mustang GT after owning my 2010 Premium for a whole 6 hours, I know long story also I would not buy a GT unless it had the Premium Pkg. Don'd get me wrong my 2SS was nice but this is better for me.

I've found it to be a drivers race.

I've won against the 5.0 & I've lost.

Correct, a 2013 Z06 starts at $75,600. And you get over 100hp less, a slower top speed, and a slower 0-60 time. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but in terms of performance isn't the GT500 is a better buy than a Z06?

Errrr. . . .



I'd most definitely prefer a z06 over a gt500, but it's hardly because of the interior.

In the performance measures you listed, maybe but put those on a track and see how well the GT500 does.

I wasn't comparing interiors. LOL. I'm not a fan of the corvette interior much either-- I was just saying the GT500 interior is awfully ugly.

And that for that kind of money I'd just go buy a 'vette.

I guess I'm a minority then because I LOVE the interior of my Camaro. I think it's awesome. But to each their own, of course!

I guess it all falls to preference, but I wouldn't pay that much for a Mustang. Corvette's a lot more prestige... plus I think it's a lot prettier car. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting what they want... I never base a purchase of a car solely on performance, but I know some do. For them, yes, the GT500 is a better deal. I just can't imagine paying $66,000 for a Mustang. Then again, I wouldn't pay $60k for a Camaro, either. But that's just me.
