    Oh good, all this thread was missing was a Ford / Chevy pissing match.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    No...we were actually missing someone complaining that it degraded to a Ford/Chevy pissing match. Now the universe is in balance and all is well.

    I disagree strongly with your post. We need a Dodge-boy to step up to the plate for his side and then, only then, will order be restored.:):p

    They are both great cars. I've been a Mustang fan as long as I can remember, but I certainly wouldn't mind a new Camaro SS if circumstances were different. Only problem would be fitting it into my garage. Oh, and I'd have a hard time getting the kids into their car seats ;) Yes, my Mazdaspeed3 is fitted complete with a pair of matching Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 car seats that get used every work day.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    BTW...it's a Hemi.

    Camaro's RULE!!!:D:p and they do things out of the factory that Ford has to hire out because they cannot get it right to start with!;):cool:

    apparently 2 of those things that GM can do that Ford can't is

    a) avoid making a profit like fat kids avoid outdoor activity
    b) Bankruptcy filings with subsequent government takeovers

    Ford makes a good car these days folks, get over it. This coming from someone who was not always a big fan of some Ford designs. That said, I always buy what I like

    Actually, the last time Car and Driver (July 09) tested a factory Camaro SS vs a factory Mustang GT, the Mustang took top honors. They actually had a Challenger RT in the mix too.

    The Mustang might be down slightly on power, but what do you expect when it only has a 4.6L. The Mustang out charmed and out handled the Camaro. Better gas mileage too.

    pfft. Theyre all muscle cars...first place should go to the most power with the least amount of handling...dodge wins hands down :)

    I think I'd dig a Roush Mustang now after reading the first post...

    It took me a minute and a few more posts and comments read before... I noticed it was from 2010. :D

    That Roush mustang might be cheaper now ,or is it?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    My daughter has a 2001 F150 SVT Lightning. That thing is a blast to drive and yes it is red.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    We've been having an interesting (well, I think it's interesting) discussion about cars/driving Someplace Else lately.

    https://hifihaven.org/index.php?threads/best-day-of-the-decade-new-corvette-reveal.5117/

    Definitely some different schools of thought.

    I think I am Jonesing to pick up a Subaru 360, myself. ;)

    If your family received royalties off the Hardy name, would you be happy or roll over in your grave?
