I am ready for the 50th year. Mine will be paid and ready for a new one to have. I will then have 2 mustangs.

 

I'll be waiting to order a 2012. Hopefully the 5.0 will be out for a year by then, and Ford or the aftermarket will have addressed some of the more controversial styling choices such as all the black plastic on the rear and the mutton chops on the front. If not, then I will just order a 2012 Camaro SS.

 

I'm not totally set on the 3.73, I just want a little more than stock 3.31. I may consider the glass roof option$$$

Is'nt the 3.73 only available as the track pack with 19" wheels? I only like to polished 18's or the OEM 18's.

 

So you're planning on going from controversial to just plain ugly inside and out. Got it.

 

I have already decided

 

Me too. It is one sexy car. They say they are slow because the are so heavy but they look so good.
You getting an SRT8 or an R/T?

 

The car in the picture is mine. I got it two weeks ago. It is an R/T with all the options except a sunroof. The car is big and it weights a lot more than an 05+ GT but it still pulls quicker then my Mustang did stock.

Not trying to start a debate just my feeling

 

You said it, waiting to see what this is all about....

 

I actually think the exterior of the Camaro looks better than the 2010 Mustang GT, I especially like how the "hips" are executed on the Camaro. IMHO they are more well defined and agressive looking. I agree that the Mustang's interior is way better looking than the Camaro interior though. I would be willing to sacrifice the nicer interior of the Mustang for the extra 100+hp that the SS has over the GT however

 

Really? I think the Camaro's hips try way too hard too look aggressive, and in doing so just come off exaggerated and cartoony.

Personally, I'm more than willing to take a horsepower hit, since I don't subscribe to the 'must beat the other guy' mentality. I'd much rather have the better all-around car, which has always been the Mustang.

 

Depends on the engine specs of the 5.0L and I'd atleast wait till 2012.

 

I'm perfectly happy with my 05 Mustang GT. It's paid for, never been a problem, drives great, looks great!
I suppose the interior looks better on the '10.....but to me it's not worth it.

I did sit in the glass roof Mustang at the LA Auto Show. It's really really nice! Big and expansive (and expensive)....very slick!

 

That may be a subjective reaction you're feeling. I doubt it pulls quicker than a stock Mustang GT - and definitely not quicker than a CAI+tuned Mustang GT.

 

Yep, sounds like what I think is agressive and bold is to you exaggerated and cartoony. I guess that is why the Pony car war is now alive and well again. The competiton will be good for all three.

If I had the "must beat the other guy mentality" then I would just mortgage the house and get a ZR1, ha, ha. I really want to get the Mustang, but since it lacks 100+hp on the SS, and lacks an IRS, I dont' know if you could really call the Mustang GT the better all-around car. I am sure the car mags will be doing comparos soon enough.

Since I won't be ordering either the SS or the GT until the 2011-2012 timeframe anyway, hopefully the Mustang will have risen to the Camaro SS challenge, and I can go with the Mustang. Why, because the build quality on my Mustang was superior to any of my Corvettes, so I would like to have a Mustang in the stable, along with a classic Corvette.

 

Just get the 'Stang. You know you want to.

 

Is the Camaro even going to happen? I have heard that it might be cut completely due, to well you know....

 

I do, I do, I really do, I am just so torn Oh well, all the wanting and indecision will help to keep me interested and longing for them both until I am done battling the ice and snow up here in Kodiak.

 

Yes, they are supposed to hit the showrooms in Feb 2009, although the convertible has been delayed about a year.

 

yup same here if they bring the 5.0, ill trade in the 06.

 

I've read several places that the Camaro Vert is on Hold Indefinitely, and that Chrysler never planned a Vert of the Challenger.
