that's proof that engines alone do not make a car great!
That's why all this talk about the new 5.0 engine in the Mustang needs to be curtailed or restrained!
Getting all excited about horsepower could leave you frustrated with your uncomfortable car. Like some Camaro owners are!
Concentrate on the more important things, like fit and finish, handling, safety and mpg. Those real world issues aren't as sexy as fast 1/4 mile times, but if all you want is a 12 second drag race, buy a used Mustang for $7,000 and build it up, saving you about $25,000!

That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't want a luxuriously soft heavy street car. I'll DD a mut and weekend a taut light monster devoid of creature comforts. Long live the 'notchback...

Rental fleets already have auto-vert GT's here at the airport in Vancouver in Grabber blue. I'm gonna pay the $89.95 and pound the **** out of it up to Whistler the same way I did the '05. I have to say, the slantnosed ass end is growing on me a little bit...
I've been keeping an eye on the new Camaro and Mustang and I have to admit that the Mustang would get the nod for me over the Camaro right now. The most disturbing thing to me about the Camaro is the poor visability out of the car (particularly the C - Pillars). I had a 73 Mach 1 and that car had absolutely terrible blind spots. I have no desire to drive a car that I can't be comfortable about seeing out of.
Right from the start, I lost interest in the Challenger, when I saw how big it was. Not that the Mustang is small, but it is definitely smaller than the Challenger and a bit smaller than the Camaro.
Then again, price could have an effect on all of this. Even if the Mustang wins a few competitions with its rivals (and it hasn't won all of them), price and availability will ultimately have a big effect on this war.

That is true about the blindspots on the Camaro. My wife wants to get one and Im trying to steer her towards a Mustang. The fact that she's short will play a big role if she would be comfortable driving a Camaro. She t-boned some lady bout a year ago, so she's very timid when driving.

I don't understand why anyone would expect the challenger to be a small car. The original cars were big. So are the new ones. Shouldn't be any surprise.
... bad comparison with the Challenger R/T. They should have used the Challenger STR8. Either way, put a few more ponies in the Mustang (ahem, perhaps that 5.0 engine Ford) and we will have a MONSTER! We all know it is a better car, which is why we are on this forum.
