Ford VS Chevy.Now Spudd roast!
OK why is tit when the new Camaro came out the magazines compared the SS version to the mustang GT and not the Cobra which is closer in HP and displacement. The magazines also picked a Dodge RT Challenger and not the SRT8 which is also closer in HP and displacement. The magazine was car and driver that has always been a Chevy fan but hay they aren't biased.

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
I think the Cobra's competition would be the Vette. The Cobra is their "street" supercar, outside of the Ford GT. I think they went by price on the comparison. The Vette will kill the Cobra, and its cheaper. In my opinion, on price and style and speed and options---Chevy's Rule! Why spend $80grand on a Ford Mustang, when it can't beat a $60grand Vette?

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
Well Ford should make a 500 hp Mustang in the same price range. Shelby GT's cost around $100grand, with a little more hp. I would put a Z06 Vette up against a Ford GT. They have almost the same hp, but the Vette is lighter. I bet it'll be close, and wouldn't cost over $100grand. The 2011 Zo6 Vette, all carbon fiber, 6 speed trans is $63grand. So, with price and performance--Chevy Rocks!

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
I guess with a government hand out Chevy can keep their price down so look at it this way your tax money helped you by a cheaper car.

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
Cool! I'll take it! And will still beat a Mustang off the light! The SS is a 6 speed automatic. I can also shift it manually with the paddles on the wheel. I think Chevy has a better all around car.

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
I guess they said "Sike!". But all big businesses are hooked up with the government in some way. From tax breaks, to borrowing $$$. So in reality, as long as they pay taxes, and keep things "clean" on the outside--they can pretty much do what they want.

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
Good deal Travis! I paid $37 cash in April of 2010. My Dad told me about 15 years ago, "Son, if you can--Never have a car payment!" Well, once I understood what he was saying, and figured out how to do it--I'm glad to say I haven't had a car payment in over 10 years. My wifes mad right now, because she's making payments. When you add the car plus the interest, its like you're paying double. I just started buying cars, fixing them up and selling them for more than I paid for it. Even with my business, I did the same thing. All my trucks are paid for cash. I teach my kids the samething. It works for me. Man Travis, I forgot this is a scale semi truck forum! Ttyl.

We can have fun and discus other stuff and the cars are part of our lives as well and as much as I love RC it is not the only thing I do for fun.

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
at least ford told the goverment to shove thier money up thier ash when they tried to tell themhow to run thier company. The GM bigwigs dont care about the company,they
still get there money. and gm still owes the govt. billions. Ford had his name at stake. its his company. hey travis, i have a 08 GT convertible. i ordered it special. Everything but heated seats since its stored in the winter. The manager at indy let me parked it out front last year. And for ten grand i can send it down to shelby and they can make it a shelby with 500 hp. 3 yrs od and only 5800 miles on it. |

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
you guys can have your new 1's although that challenger catches my eye a few changes and I'd have a new plymouth . I've talked about selling my "68" barracuda but wife said NO!! I had a "69" also but got tired of seeing it rusting away before I could get it built as a pro street

Re: Ford Mustang VS Chevy Camaro
a challenger built up would look good and run top notch
but a mustang will always be the same no use beating a dead horse, it won't do anything i probably would like a new mustang if they changed it it does have some promise, not alot but some |
