I personally like the new mustang very much, more so from a styling standpoint than anything else. I'm sure the performance will be killer, but not better than the next gen Camaro. The new LT series motors are outstanding (except for DI which I HATE), and I don't feel Ford's improved Roadrunner-based 5.0 can outperform an LT1 Camaro SS or hi-po LT4 based model. And, as far as chassis are concerned, both will sport vastly improved platforms.

With that said, however, I'm truly concerned with the styling design direction the next gen Camaro may take. I love the 5thgen (pre-2014 only) because it was basically a modern interpretation of the 1st gen. I just don't feel the new design can be as big of a home run as the 5thgen, imo.
