Here's a lighter one.
3825 give or take a few pounds.
but I know in my heart that they are going to be only a 100 lbs lighter if even that when that sucker comes to market and more than likely going to be yet again recipients of an inferior and less quality made product.

Now the Camaro comes around and all they have to say is that the new 2011 Mustang is going to own all; I would love to believe that being a big fan of competition and all but I know in my heart that they are going to be only a 100 lbs lighter if even that when that sucker comes to market and more than likely going to be yet again recipients of an inferior and less quality made product.

Whats funny about Ford, they always have to have a super charger on them just to put out any kind of horse power. Look at the Lighting f150, the new 500 horse cobra mustang. They all have super chargers. Oh ya and they have to have more than 1 cam and twice the valves.

Hello new to this forum. I joined because i am very interested in buying the new SS Camaro after seeing the official releases. I am new to this "muscle car wars" since i just bought an 08 Mustang Saleen SC(first muscle car ever to own). The new Camaro just makes me drop my jaw.........
Looks amazing and that engine just makes my mustang look like a small wiener compared to it...... I already have old camaros revving at me all day which i can take MOST of the time (i run 11.78 at the track on an auto)
GM knows how to do their engines and im just scared what a SC camaro will run. To the AVERAGE buyer, i dont think they will worry about weight at all. They care mostly on looks, price, and MPG these days. Only car enthusiasts like us will be interested in in all the weight, handling and stuff IMO.
I am obviously jealous on the new camaro. I know your not suppose to compare the 05+ gts to them since the 2010 or 2011 is coming out to but hey, theres still a gap btw the years where they are not out yet and the maros will be stumping on most mustang owners.
All in all, im pretty sure alot of mustang owners are green with envy on the kind of numbers the camaros engine puts out, but theres no reason to talk trash about each others cars. We are all car lovers and Ill have a Camaro SS soon too so ill have the best of both worlds.
One thing that makes me think is how did Edmunds test the SS camaro on the 1/4 and only run a 13.4 and the v6 14.6? Those are what currect mustang GTs and V6s run.

Why? If you've got what you claim to have, you'll mop the floor with the new SSs unless they get some work done to'em. What's there to be jealous about?

Jealous because the new maros engine is bigger than mine and if the camaro had the same mod as i do, they would own? I know ill still own the SS's its just the thought that its ENGINE ALONE has a 4 in front of the horsepower numbers but it takes a SC for me to get that. Maybe jealous is not the right word. I dont know.
