Don't really see much difference in that one...

the Mustang is not in the same class or league as a Vette. So, its unfair to class it as such !!

.....not arguing...just wondering. Are you going by design/style alone.

I've driven 2 out of the 3 on that list and the Camaro, by far, is the best engineered, quality (both initial and probably long term) and OVERALL performance.

Fair question....I was ALWAYS a Pontiac guy growing up loved the Trans Am/ Firebird....disliked the Camaro style and look. The only Camaro that I ever was really drawn to was when they came out with the new style in 1982 I think? I thought those were the balls and a great design by Chevy. IMO the Camaro of the 70's was quite possibly one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen.

On the flip side one of my most favorite Chevys was the SS Chevelle 396

GTO's yes, Firebirds yes, Cutlass yes, Impalas and Vettes yes...Camaro.....

Oh the Barracuda was probably one of my favorites as well

Don't know...just really never warmed to them.

Exactly what I think! Road and Track or Motor Trend did many articles comparing the two.

With the Camaro in resting for so many years, Chevy and Ford had to compare something. Only options were those two (Chevy [not GM] and Ford).

Plus the mustang has the largest aftermarket of goodies for it !

Look in a Jegs or summit catalog sometime & you'll see a lil bit of what i mean !

As for the '10 redesign on the stang, i like mostly everything, cept for the rear, but the aftermarket could take care of that. & i hear something supposedly better is coming to the stang in '11 !!

By Chance do you have the Weight for a 2010 Stang? Just wondering if it stayed the same or Up/Down etc.
