i'll still post here and will NEVER EVER talk shit about the gen5 camaro.

Or... wait 'till 2018 GT is released later on this year.... Test drive Gen6 and 2018 GT and then make your decision.

I just sold my 2011 SS (LS3) and picked up a '17 Shelby GT350. The FPC engine and the shape was more appealing for me. Somehow, the look of Gen6 didn't do much for me. However, Gen5 was a great looking car....

nope no more fords for me..they all have this vague feel to me i cant live with..this will be my last ever mustang..the 2018 looks terrible..ford need to make these mustangs better looking...every day i used to admire my camaro and had a true love for it..i dont get the same feelings with my mustang..nobody stops me anymore to say oh wow nice car..the new mustang looks crap compared to the gen6 camaro..
i must find a mint low milage white automatic asap.


imo this new camaro is one of the best looking cars ever created...closely followed by the gen5 ofc

Yes, put a pair of Ford mufflers on a '68 428 police car and wonder what that sound was when your Camaro pulls away.

Good luck with that, wonder how long you will keep the next vehicle, until you decide something better has come along and you have to get that one.

Buy whichever one is easiest to scrub the undercarriage after a short drive....

We all make mistakes, good news we can turn our mistakes around. You'll find a Gen 6 white auto pretty easy. Just watch out for the whistling side mirrors and smaller cock pit feel.

I'm a huge fan of the 11-13 5.0's

I love the way they sound, look and drive.

At first I hated it, even with long tube headers, dyno tune and a cai... still couldn't beat a 5.0 with a cold air intake from a 30 dig. I guess I just learned to like them.

One positive the Mustangs have always had going for them is their sound. I find the Coyote engined Mustangs to sound amazing when the exhaust is done right, IMHO. It doesn't make me any less of a Camaro fan to say that.

But I would take an LS any day of the week.

I've been involved with racing for over 40 years, including road race, drag racing and oval track (both dirt and pavement). I have yet to hear any Ford engine that sounds "good", but please remember that this is only my opinion. I can tell the sound of a Ford as distinctly as I can tell the sound of a helicopter. I don't mean in any way to be harsh, but I have 2 major groups of sound that I can picture in my mind when I hear a Mustang. The first group fits into the pallet dragging group. They sound like someone dragging a wooden shipping pallet across the pavement with empty tin cans tied to the pallet also dragging along about 20 feet behind the pallet. The other major group is the Briggs and Stratton group, these Mustangs sound like multiple Briggs and Strattons running either with no exhaust simultaneously or a mix of Briggs and Strattons running some with no exhaust and some with a 24" long and 12" long straight exhaust tubes screwed into the exhaust port

Agreed. Best looking version of the modern Mustang. I just can't get into the newer Mustangs. But at this point, I am NOT getting into any Mustang. I have my 2010 Gen V Camaro SS - Hell Yeah!

The new GT350's are one of the best looking cars of all time . The Gen6 camaro's​ don't look half as good as the new mustang's too me. But than again I don't like anything about the Gen6​ camaro's . Well I do like how the AC vents stand out but not the one by the shifter

[orange devil]

Your right the new gt 350 is super nice!! ..the gen 6 camaro is lacking style compared to the s550 mustang and the gen 5 camaro..pretty sad the only thing that really stands out in the interior is it a ac vents and streeing wheel..the car is smaller and does not feel as, comfortable.. feel like I'm more in a Chevy Cruze instead of a Camaro.. Sadly the 2018 mustang looks went in the wrong direction as well.its,face lift never should have happened.. like Megan Fox getting plastic surgery when not needed.the gen 5 camaro and 2015 to 17 mustang are to me at the peak of style.
