I'm looking at getting a new car: Either the Camaro SS or the Mustang GT
Both would be fully loaded (GT Premium and SS2-RS) without Nav system. I'm looking at the dark grey metallic with black stripes and either the black or grey leather interior.
Mustang GT
Pros:
More comfortable ride
Good visibility
Price (compared to Camaro)
Aftermarket parts (better availability, more variety for upgrades)
Sound of V8 exhaust
Very quick for lack of HP (I think something like 400lb lighter than Camaro)
Cons:
100 less HP
5spd manual (vs 6spd in Camaro)
Its a Ford
The 5.0l 6spd version that fixes the first 2 cons isn't available until 2011 (higher price, but still comparable to SS)
Camaro
Pros:
Styling
Smoother, quieter ride
More HP
6spd manual
Cons:
Harder seats
Horrible visibility from drivers seat
smaller back seat
smaller trunk
Right now I'm leaning towards the Mustang because it is much more comfortable and easier to drive in traffic, but is still a really sporty car. But it's still hard to pass up the styling, HP, and 6spd of the Camaro. I could always wait for the 2011 mustang to help with the HP and transmission issues, but I would lose out on the pricing side. If I got the Camaro, it would be a pre-order for a 2011, so I would get the options I really wanted too. Thoughts?
