I wouldn't. You'll be just another Mustang drivers. There's much less of the new Camaro's out there, plus they look better.

camaro looks like someone bent it in half, tried to unbend it, and did a bad job of it. mustang looks good from any angle, while camaro looks good from just about no angle.

mustang > camaro at any price point.
 
Im trying to like the Camaro but its just too fat and not sleek. Id have to see a scaled Camaro *.9 to really decide, but it might even have to be a diff scale constant for each axis to get it right. 20+ inch factory wheels on all these new cars really gets to me as well. Id rather have 15" pro stars, don't know what everyones fascination with 20"+ foose wheels is, looks like shit to me.

Agreed. I love the challenger but it's 10K too expensive
 
every once in a while an SVO comes up on craigslist and i give it some hard thought.

and then i think 'maybe i could put a MZR L3-VDT in it'

I saw a SVO with a 351 in it, was pretty sad and defeating the purpose of specifically choosing an SVO.

I tell myself all the time that I won't do anything to my Cobra that can't be undone. If I have to start cutting and welding and installing cages and shit its time to get a V6 shell and some Cobra facia and make a gutted race car.

at least the MZR is a ford (well, mazda, but at least some have ford stamped on the block even in a mazda3) 2.3L turbo motor. so it's the spiritual successor of the original SVO motor

the mustang doesn't look good from the rear end. much to stuck up in the air.... black plasticy looking piece that goes between the rear tails.

I'll probably get flamed to hell and back for this, but I haven't liked the styling of the Camaro since the first generation. It's gotten progressively worse since it first came out.

Looks nice to me...

Wtf is that dealer sticker on the upper left? I'd be taking that shit right back and telling them no sale then bitching to Ford. You don't do that shit at all, much less to something that isn't just a random Corolla.

too lofty rear. lifting up like a stuck up nose. then the big gawdy plastic rear diffuser, trim, panel, whatever it is make it look cheap. The shelby badging on that one makes it worse. I think the mustangs look decent, but the rear end is not pretty
 
I'm partial to the Mustang, but I think the exterior styling on the Camaro looks good. I just HATE the interior! It is awful! Absolutely awful! My first pick is the Mustang, followed closely by the Challenger and a distant third the Camaro. Actually, I'd probably just get a 370z over a Camaro. No interest really in it at all.

I think it looks bad on the camaro, but is is twice as big and ugly on the mustang.

please note, I don't like the look of the camaro... I think the mustang is a better looking car, but the rear of the mustang is ugly
 
He has like the best Gaming computer anyone could build ever, a GT-R, and a 650i.
I don't doubt him when he says he'd get a new Camaro if he wanted to.

Well my parent's were considered 'poor' when I was in high school back in the late 80's...I had a $40k car.

In my 20's, I had friends that had million dollar condos on the ocean with multiple exotics.

One of my best friends got pulled out of class in high school when the school admins of the ghetto high school we got bused to thought the 930 Turbo registered to a California business in the parking lot "had to be stolen".

He had a Ninja 600, Supra Turbo, Ferrari 328, the 930 Turbo above in the last two years of high school.
