I drove both also a few times and I have to say you sound like a crazy person with no taste.

You sound like an uninformed mustang fanboy. I own a Mustang, my Dad owns a Camaro. I'd say I would know better than you considering I can drive either as I please. Oh wait, no I can't, cause my piece of **** Mustang has been at the dealership for the past six days.

And for anyone else that thinks a Mustang is better than a Camaro on paper, you're wrong. Unless you're talking bone stock, but put a good amount of $$$ into both cars and you'll soon figure out which is the better performance car. HPE650 out performs the Shelby Super Snake in nearly every category, and those are proven facts, not my opinion. But to each their own. I enjoy knowing that I'm dumping money into a car that will hold up and destroy the competition.


Check out that video, pretttttyy cooooool guy.

No need to flame me over wanting a Camaro. I've been through hell with Ford and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I like the body of the Mustang better than the Camaro, but i'm all about performance. People don't have to see eye to eye on cars, we'd all be driving the same cars if that were the case.

I have no issues with my 5.0, but when my current car is paid off, I'm going to get a Camero zl1. I really like both the mustang and Camero.

Well there it is. 99% of these cars will never see more than a cat back upgrade.

I respect the Camaro but mostly because it drives Ford to make the Mustang a better car.

But you are taking about a platform from which to build on. And once you start that argument it gets even more subjective.

Personally I'll take the so called short carpet over the brake weights they put on the Camaro. The great ZL1 even had them in the car at the 2012 Dallas Auto show. I saw them myself.

Funny how you are talking top end stuff when you are rocking a v6.. pretty much every thread and post you have made has been crying over one thing or another. Please update us after you get the camaro. I have drove all the fun cars and more... last weekend I drove a nissan leaf. The camaro is junk and the chally is over priced. But I hope you find what makes you happy. I buy a new car every year and thats when I drive all the top picks..

I was basically lying down in the street to take this picture.

Anyway, I'm glad my carpet is short because it's less to vacuum and helps with weight reduction.

I think it has to do with who installs the carpet. My 04 Mach 1 had carpet so long it would peel down! Go figure. This thread brought back the memory of me placing strips of Velcro to keep it in place. Seriously, I really got under the car for that pic... Never noticed or even checked until this thread.

People who buy these cars buy them for fun and performance not because the carpet doesnt go high enough on the floor. I promise you that a mustang will outlast a camaro in every single case. The camaro might have more emphasis on the interior quality but 100k down the road when you are dropping money on a new motor with a camaro then your least concern will be how high the carpet is. No car is without its faults I have driven both and the mustang wins hands down. The camaro feels like your driving a brick that you cant see out of.

The reason why Ford techs are so bad is because they never have to do major repairs so they all quit and move to chevy where they make twice as much.
