I hope this is not a repost...anyway, I'm sure GM and Ford appreciated Motor Trend soaking the interiors of both cars.

**** that Camaro interior is hideous

 

Interesting, if you look close the Mustang with Brembo brakes has Goodyear rather than Pirelli tires.

^ yep, us verts get the goodyear eagle f1's

I think the biggest thing is... the weight HOLY **** the camaro is wayyyyyyyyy heavier lol

mustang 3725 vs camaro 4138

ridiciulous!

 

pretty harsh words for the Camaro... that's surprising. commendable that they actually said it!

 

The only reason the camaro won in the figure 8 and braking is that it uses the stickier pirellis.

Well done Ford.

 

+1 I don't even know if hideous is harsh enough to describe it.

 

I dunno, I feel the same way about that matador red interior in the mustang. To be fair neither of these cars are exactly knocking on Audi's door interior-wise.

 

Or price wise....

 

Now, now. This thread has no room for logic!

 

Yeah the camaro now has HEADroom so i can wear a hat while driving more to come i hope !! Just kidding ya know eh ?? LOL

 

They're both nice machines...I'm a bit weary of the ragging that the Camaro takes around here. Of course there are issues with the car but it has its merits, starting with that amazing lump under the hood.

The interior may be polarizing but the Mustang is the one that will be forgettable in a few years where the Camaro's more wild treatment will be charmingly dated and probably better appreciated.

Yep, we're all here because we liked the 2010+ Mustang better than the Camaro...but I am not surprised that they sell well. The compromises of the car are well justified to many by the sheer style that the car exudes.

 

yeah kinda like the interior from a '96 cavalier is charmingly dated

 

Way to go Ford/Mustang! Kicking the Camaro's *ss again.

Gawd, that Camaro interior is awful!

 

Also: I liked how the 'vert (which has the mandatory 3.31 rear diff) still pulled off a 12.9 1/4-mile at over 111 mph. Car and Driver must not know how to drive; they only got 13.2 out of a coupe with 3.73 rear and matched that 13.2 with the only GT 'vert they tested.

 

I was sooooooo happy when I read that article. The 5.0 Mustang always won against Camaro/Challenger in all the comparisons, and since I wanted to get a convertible the 5.0 GT was the ONLY choice.

However, within a month of my purchasing it, I read about the new Camaro 'vert coming out in early 2011.

"Uh oh," I thought, "I hope I didn't make a bad choice and shoulda waited another year."

Now that I've seen a direct comparison between the '11 convertibles, I couldn't be happier with my choice! Mustang FTW!!

 

And if they had compared Canadian models, Mustang would have come out even further ahead since we have 3.55 diff's here.

 

^ do all Canadian stangs get 3.55's???

 

Lucky dogs!

I believe I will be upgrading from my 3.31 to a 3.55 some time this year.

 

I just looked it up in the order guide, and he's right...us Canadians did get 3.55's standard...nice!
