I was in the market for a new sporty car about a month ago, im 28 if that helps.

I drove a genesis coupe, 370z, camaro, challenger, mustang... you see whats in my sig. Pretty much everything about it was better, from steering feel to styling(inside and out) to the shocking acceleration, even interior space. My opinion, get the mustang. Its ALOT of car for the money.

if you wear a wife-beater and have a 80's mullet, get the Camaro.
otherwise, get the Mustang.
Crap. I gotta cut my mullet just because I got a Mustang?

Alot of good posts in here. I was at the same place you were a couple of years ago. And all the advice you've been given is accurate.

The interior of the Camaro sucks, you can't see out of it and just is not a nimble as the Stang. The Challenger looks cool but is a land yacht.

The Stang, well, plan on spending alot more in mod's, it NEVER ends!!!

But it's all good when you get compliments on it where ever you go. The Stang is just an ICON and people love it.

I'm 29 and just bought a 5.0 as well Love it, but damn too many people look at it. I started with a 99 then to a 07, but the 5.0 is a new animal. Looks, feel, drivability and overall performance. My wife is played out on the stangs.... never liked my 07, but she has said about 6 times "this is a badass car" The hood scoop and pedestal wing make a big difference with the factory 19's.

I was also considering the three...just pull up google images of all of them and study like I did... the mustang just flat out looks better....

Looks like you're looking for the car to get you laid... well my friend, the GT is it!
J/K - but get a mustang..... Check out a Saleen - now that's a looker! 2008 S281

Thanks everyone. I finally decided to go ahead and just do it, rather than wait. I found a beautiful 2012 GT Premium in red candy, still with some pretty good rebates, so I'm now a Mustang owner!
