What didn't you like about it? I keep seeing the '14's around with the new sleeker front end and tail lights. I like it a lot actually

Sound crazy, but I with it had the wrap around LED tail lights like my Charger lol

Everything inside the car sucked ***! You couldn't see out of it. The roof was so low I couldn't sit comfortably without reclining the driver seat so far back I looked like a wannabe teen gagster. Sun roof didn't help. That eats up head room. And finally the interior was the most dull plastic Crap I've ever seen. A 10 grand Nissan Versa has a better interior than a completely loaded 45 grand 2SS/Rs Camaro. The leather seats were the most rock hard uncomfortable things I've ever sat in. The exterior of the car looked AWESOME! I thought it was the best looking of the 3 Muscles cars out right now. The LS engine made great power once it had a few bolt ons added. The car wasn't a beast stock. But that was due to it weighing over two tons. LS motors are really good engines. Cant really complain about them. And I loved the Brembos. They halled that fat pig down to a stop in a hurry. If everything inside the car was as nice as everything outside I'd never trade it and just mod the hell out of it. But it's really that bad inside! You shouldn't have to compromise when your putting down over 40 grand for a car, With the new Mustang there is no compromising! Ford completely nailed it inside and out.

lol have you sat in the new SRT's? if you hated the interior of the Camaro, you'd LOVE the interior of the newer Hemi's

I wish I could afford a new Scat Pack Charger or Challenger, they cost a lots more than I would ever want to spend.

The new 5.0 is seriously in a class of it's own. It's like a Domestic super car of sorts!

I did sit in the Scat pack chally. It's nice, roomy. Still cant really see that good out of it. If the Dodge dealer didn't think he was selling a Ferrari instead of a Dodge. We'd have one. But I'm honestly glad it fell thru because I was blown away after driving the GT. It rides very similar to an E90 M3. And that generation M3 is a bad *** car.

Damn.. that sucker jumps from 40-60 in a heartbeat

Do you have full manual valve bodies where you have to always use the shifter or does it still shift on it's own in Drive? Been toying around with the idea of building up the trans also, at least a shift kit.

Nah man, that's a stalled/tuned and geared ls1 on street tires for ya. That 40-60 jump was all due to wheel spin. I floored it towards the top of 1st.

3.42 is a good gear. If I had them stock I wouldn't touch the rear. Or even 3.23s for that matter. Just ordered some drag radials, hoping for lower 12s.
