The Camaro is plain looking? Compared to what? The Camaro is still as gorgeous as the day the concept was unveiled. Shame it isn't a little lighter on it's feet, but still.

I don't understand why anyone would buy a pig of a car like this? I believe the V6 Camaro weighs 3700lbs and the SS weighs close to 3900lbs. Why would you want a car with such weight? The Vette doesn't have this issue and comes in at a beautiful 3200lbs.
New mustang is sexier, lighter and faster anyway
Who knew a 2 seat sports coupe that costs over 50% more would be much lighter? Surely the lighter the material, the less it costs?? :\
And again, the Mustang chassis was designed for the ground up for the Mustang. The Camaro is a modified sedan chassis. Mustang GT is 3,600lbs and while that's a huge benefit to get it rolling quickly, it's not like it's 1,000lbs lighter. A bad driver in a Mustang is still going to loose to a half-way decent driver in a Camaro. I'm not particularly a Camaro fan either, but use a little common sense before you rant.
Go look at Chrysler for a real wtf. The Challenger is on the same chassis as the 4-door Charger and 300, and it weighs more than the Charger (and maybe the 300, not sure on that though.) That said, I like the looks of the Challenger the best out of the three.
Fanboi :biggrin:
Only one would take a slower car that costs more.

And there are a ridiculous amount of them out on the road. While there are some very mild visual changes the new one looks almost exactly like the one they've been producing for years. There are plenty of people that want their car to be more noticeable, if yours look just like the million that are already out on the road it's pretty much impossible to do.
Personally, I think the mustang is a great car but if you don't realize that people buy these type of cars for something other than lap times or curb weight you're sorely out of touch with reality.
If you can't beat em, join em Pretty retarded reason to desire a lesser car specifically because someone else has the other car.
Do you stick with your original XBox or PS1 because "everybody has 360s these days" ?
Fast is fast. Even most cars that are fast AND different all have LS1 swaps in them anyway, zomg same thing as everyone else!
It's a Camaro. It's going to be a giant pile of shit under a nice looking body.
Not sure where you're getting 50% more for a Corvette. Kerbeck chevrolet on the east coast sells new 2011 corvette coupe's for 43K. You can option out a SS to over 40K so whats the real point in buying a camaro unless you really need a 4 seater?
Challenger, Charger and 300 all were based off an old MB E Class chassis so i understand why they're heavy.
I always thought the opposite, great mechanicals underneath, but a subjective catfish body you either love or hate.

If you're worried about what's under the hood, you must be new to the car world.
Here you go.
You're comparing a car with a backseat and a base MSRP of around $23k to one that's a two seater, has a body made of fiberglass, and a base price of $49k?
The Mustang GT convertible weighs ~100 pounds less than the Camaro SS coupe...
Looks better than the standard Camaro IMO....but red interior looks ugly as shit on the old Chevys, can't imagine it would look any better here...
I find that sad.
11 Mustang GT Coupe: 3605lbs
11 Mustang GT Vert : 3720lbs
lol
You are funny. The Mustang FINALLY caught up to the Camaro. It got spanked in the 90/00's by the Camaro and was getting spanked again until Ford finally manned up for once and gave the Stang some decent power compared to a Camaro. It took them long enough. Also the new Camaro looks INFINITELY better than the Stang.
There's more to a car than power/weight ratio and handling. Believe it or not, it does matter to some people (Me!) how common the car is, but that's besides the point. Back seat space is a huge deal. In the stangs, you need to be pretty tiny to be comfortably behind someone who is of average height. A coworker of mine recently bought a Challenger, knowing that it is the slowest of the modern muscle cars, because he actually fit it in comfortably!
Also, in the used world, the Fords tend to hold their resale better. A few years ago I was hunting for a muscle car; 06 GTO vs 07 Mustang. The GTO was 3k cheaper and was way more comfortable.
Point is, it's different strokes for different folks. Those who say Camaros are slow and handle like shit, don't be surprised when someone blows by you in one because they bought it just to throw people like yourself off, and spend 10...20...30...40k on upgrades. Dang I wish I had that kind of money.
