Well, it's not a fair comparison between any of the models. Chevy & Ford take two completely different approaches to the Muscle Cars:

V6 Maro. vs V6 Stang = Not fair for Ford
V6 Maro vs. V8 Stang = Not fair for Chevy
V8 Maro vs. V8 Stang = Not fair for Ford
V8 Maro vs. GT500 Stang = Not fair for Chevy

See my point? If both Ford & Chevy made similar price/similar power models than the battle would be fair. But's not fair for Chevy or Ford when it boils down.

The 426 hp Camaro is in the price range of the mustang gt?

I said it before and I'll say it again. I think both cars are great. I'm not a street race fanatic or track guy so I could really car less if one car is a half second behind on a 0-60. Its about the whole package inside and out and what you like more.

It was really a toss up for me between the two a few weeks ago. The inside looks of the camaro were a turn off but I liked the outside. I happend to like the mustang overall. Plus the fact you can steel an 09 right now (which i like better than the 2010 looks) the 0-60 performance wasnt a make or break and wont affect the everyday person who will be buying these cars. The ones it affects are the people who will be doing mods and such which will bring both cars in line with each other in the end anyhow.

Depends on what you consider "in the same price range". The GT will start at 28K, the Camaro will start at 31K. An optioned out GT can land in the same price range as the SS. But adding options to the SS drives its price up to. Of course. A relatively loaded GT coupe will price out in the 35-38K range. A relatively loaded SS will price out over 40K.

That Oviously wasnt the point...

What I specced out was 2 comparable builds
the Camaro was only $505 more than the GT
- its only $405 more because GM charges $750 for DFC and Ford charges $850 delivery

Also the Highwing spoiler is only an option for the LS/LT modles w/o the RS pack

fully deck out an Auto GT you are looking at $41225 + 850 = $42075

take the wing and 21'wheels off the Camaro and $41350 + 750 = $42100

Plus, for the difference of a base Camaro, you could supercharge a GT. Then, forget about it.

It's all about finding the least expensive way to go fast.

Actually, I was mistaken, Ford is including the delivery in the listing.
so it would be $41225 vs $42100

However, if I swap the GT rear cam with Accesory Pack 5
its goes to $41900

big $200 difference at that point

It's $400 for the 3.55 LSD on the Camaro?
I'd think they'd go with a taller gear than that.
3.73, 4.11, or higher...
