where did you get this false info from e82?

I'm not going to trash the Camaro by any means as a mustang owner, but I will say this. For a car that is already 5 years old, it is hanging in the pony war contest quite well.

All the stuff in the current 2010 Mustang GT w/ track pack was available through Ford Racing back in 2005. Which means the mustang you see today is the mustang we saw 2005 just with a different body style.

The Mustang is hanging in so well, that it has almost made me decide that I will buy a vette over a new camaro (personal choice I know)

Financially it doesn't make sense for me to spend money on a new car that isn't really any faster than the one I have now (yes mine is modded). If I am going to buy new, I will out-do myself with a Vette.

That is unless they come out with the Z28.....then it will be back to the drawing board LOL

Maxdmax: Why would you throw the Challenger SRT-8 up there instead of the R/T? I think it should be the R/T because of the price range.

If you were going to throw a $40K+ car up there, then why not show the GT500 as well?

because then it would beat the camaro and this whole forum will explode in a blinding rage about how they were not supposed to compare the gt500 lmao
