I don't have a problem with the seats. To each there own I guess........



Agreed, I'm more of a GM guy, but you can't buy what they didn't make.



Flowmaster cat-back with x pipe and high flow cats! Sounds awesome!
That self select color gauge illumintation is one of the COOLEST gimmicks ever for a car. Should be standard on ALL cars.

I've said that a thousand times. And I share your opinion about the Mustang.

I gotta tell ya, I REALLY like "My Color." It sounds crazy but I've found myself changing the colors on the dash simply because I can.....

I'm sure it's a safe bet that the 5Th Gen will have some variation of color changing gauges.....

And I share your opinion about the Mustang.

the my color thing has to be tops for useless things. can't understand why you'd want your dash to look messed up as its different colors. i keep mine ford green. if ALL the dash went colors it would make sense.



seats should make you have leg/ankle cramps. they are too thick and flat. one of the worst seats ever. i'm more comfortable in everything i've been in. but its so close that it takes awhile before its noticeable. i hate them. if it wasn't a lease i'd swap them for some racing seats.

I think he was looking at a 427 HP supercharged mustang... I recall seeing one with 427 on the side, but a closer inspection showed the graphics are advertising HP not displacement. Do you think they came up with a HP rating that matches a known kick *** displacement size by chance?

also, as stated above... the base car may have had a $27000 sticker, but that was before Roush got their high priced hands all over it.

its no secret that they matched the advertised hp to the old displacement. it was in homage to it.

To tell the truth I was patiently waiting for the 2010 Camaro but I got this little notion that the Mustang looks a heck of a lot better. Found me a nice slightly used (2000 miles) '07 GT, decked out with all the interior upgrades and stuff, at a Chevy dealer for a good price. The guy traded it in on a 'vette since I guess he wanted a faster garage queen.

I don't think the new Camaro is going to be able to outperform an LS1 Camaro. To be honest, the new Camaro won't even outperform the 300-hp Mustang stock even with 425-hp (if it even has that much). The challenger SRT-8 is like.. what.. a tenth of a second faster than the 'stang 0-60?

Weight will be a big factor.

Enjoy your new mustang...the first time you race a 5th gen, you'll see you're wrong (It's not like a mustang only weights 2000lbs). Remember this post as you're watching the Camaro's tail lights pulling away from your little pony.

Classic! They deserve to get stuck.

Snotty Mustang Owners!

Like I have stated in the past, the new top end Camaro will likely have the G8 GT LS2 or LS3 shared engine. If tuned and displaced like the G8, it will put the counterpart Mustang in it's place upon acceleration. The G8 torques very strong for 1/2 of a 1/4 mile.... that's all it takes to take the lead!!!!!

With this said, the new 4 door G8 can take an 8 Mustang any day.

Mustang Peeps, don't take my word, go test drive the G8 GT and you will be trading in your Mustang for it!!!

By the way, there is this bald headed tall white freak that has a 4th Gen Mach Mustang that constantly visits my next door neighbor. I'm sure he is pissed always seeing me fiddling around in my 4th Gen Trans Am and washing it! He is just a snot nose Stang owner who I like to lay to waste with either one of my TAs. Some vehicle owners are just so Snotty because of what they drive.
