Look at this idiot:

If they test a stock Camaro they should test a stock Mustang, NO track pak that only 10% will have.
You mean 0%?

Nah, I can believe that one. Remember: the Camaro debuted in a back-to-back transition period for the mustang. We went from the the 2009-2010 body style, and then we're going from the 2010-2011. Whispers of the 5.0 were heard way back in 2008 (when I was shopping for mine), and so a lot of people held off on buying a mustang because of what was on the horizon.

So the Camaro essentially "scored a goal during a line change." Not uncommon and certainly not unexpected.

But now? Now the 20XX Camaro vs 2011 Mustang? Oh it's going to the Stang, no question. Now the line change is done... and it's time for the Power Play

Admission is the first step in getting help.

These goons need to wake up and read up on what is coming. No track pack, and an optioned GT with Brembos is on par with a 1SS. Sorry GM wanted to "donk it out" with 20s, that's their fault.

I wish Mustang's still came with 17's as the largest size. So tired of the "Dub" generation. 19's are dumb, 20's are ever worse.

The 19s work, but that's because the wheel wells have kept growing every generation. I don't care for the 20s on the Camaro, since all the wheels look the same, you can't really tell which size the wheels are.

I thought I was the only person who felt that way. 17", great. 18", ok, sure. 19", getting a little crazy now. 20", cartoonish. 21"+, absurd. Just my opinion of course. I guess bigger wheels allow more room for brakes though.

My first Mustang had 14" wheels. 16" was pretty big back then.

dangit you added in the "cheap knockoff" clause! That was my loophole lol.

With the bigger wheel wells, don't you think 17's will look awful?

I'm glad to see there are at least some levelheaded folks around there. For all the being thrown around there are at least a few guys going and calling those morons out

I'm glad to see so many of us agree on wheels. I like 18s for these cars if only to fit the brakes.
