Former Mustang 5.0 Owner, Switched to Chevy

I traded my Mustang GT about 6 weeks ago and bought this new 2015 Camaro SS/1LE.

I absolutely love it!

I just dont care for the 2015 Mustang's so I went to the dark side and proud of it...

Has alot more torque than my 5.0 but the 5.0 seems faster on top but the Camaro is very deceiving because it pulls like there is no ending.

Ive included a photo of what mine looks like...Let me know what you guys think and BE NICE!!

That's the difference between pushrod vs OHC.

I dislike the yellow/black bumblebee :blank:.

I could defintely take a 2015 5.0 but not so sure about the 12-14's because the Camaro is about 300lbs heavier.

I wasnt too excited about yellow either but I bought this one when Chevy had that 20% off sale, I saved $9,000 so I love yellow now...

Nice looking Camaro. My step son looked at the 15 mustang gt and the Camaro and for the price the Camaro can't compete. He would rather save 8 thousand for mods. Don't get me wrong the looks on the Camaro is a lot nicer than the older models but just to small inside for me. Congrats and hope you enjoy it.

I still love me some Ford's but this Camaro was $44k and with $9k off I got it for $35k out the door and I couldnt pass it up. My dad is a life long Ford owner and he calls me a traitor but I dont see it that way, I love American muscle cars, I just wish I could afford to own one of each including a Hellcat...

I couldnt do a 2015 Mustang because it was the 1st year but we'll see if they come with a Mach 1 or Boss and I am sure they will make tweaks here and there to make it more appealing...

Sweet Camaro, I love the 1LEs. I have always been a GM guy, and have been into Camaros, Firebirds, and Camaros. I was debating between getting a Mustang and a Camaro when looking for a new ride, but ultimately went with the Mustang since the Chevy dealerships were not willing to work with me on price and I got a smoking deal on a Roush.

Congrats on the new car bro. Love the yellow and black. Not a fan of GM personally, but the 2015 mustang is yuck. I wouldn't buy one either.

9k off wow. How did you get that much off? They were not offering anything off and the cheapest ss my son could find was 41k and he found a mustang gt premium for 34k. I'm a Chevy and ford fan.

The sale is legit. Chevy had a 20% off MSRP sale at the end of the year.

I was looking at both but there just were not any deals on the Camaro at the end of 2013 when I ordered mine....I had $3,750 in rebates to use on the GT plus they discounted it as well, so it was a no brainer...at least for me. But nice looking car!!!! I too have owned all brands, had a 64 GTO Tri-Power, a Charger, a Trans-Am, a Z-28, a few Mustangs, plus the daily drivers and family cars...so far I think I am at 42 vehicles since I got my first one...a 66 LTD...loved that car!!!!

Nice car!!! My issues with the Camaro is do to the poor visibility outward except from straight forward. I dig the comfort and better than good visibility out of my mustang but if you had to get a Camaro the 1LE looks the part and performs well. Oh, and I recommend adding camaro5.com to your websites, they have a good community over there.
