Cute license plate. I'm actually encouraging my girlfriend to look at the newer V6 Mustangs as her next car.
Not for that year they aren't. That's not 2010 up... unless I'm mistaken. 2009 6 banger mustangs were slower

Like I said, the 4.0L car was in fact slower, and that is one, judging by the single exhaust tip.

Yep, with the 3.7L came dual exhaust tips. It's also and easy way to spot Challengers with the old, slow, 3.5L (single tip). Not that the newer V6 in those is a rocket ship, heavy as those whales are

That's irrelevant. A 3.7L Mustang weighs 300lbs less than a 3.6L Camaro. The Camaros 20HP lead isn't going to overcome the two extra passengers is hauling around all the time.

Even if you add the minor HP increase from the LLT to the LFX, it's still slower.

I would prefer my girlfriend driving a Camaro with me, but if she wanted a mustang I would be all for it too, just having her drive a muscle would be awesome.
I dont understand why people say Mustang's are girls cars but either way, they are faster than our Camaro's so you better watch for that girl when she smokes you.....

this. I especially believe this as I can't see the back of the driver at all. It's prob a 90 lb 4'11 granny and if so, more power to her.
