Haha, true. I just read where he spent 3 pages reminding everyone that Caddy misrepresented their weight by like 5 lbs. I'm like...really? Haha. Anyhow, it is what it is. The new Camaro, no matter who says what....stock for stock, destroys the GT. When ALL mags showed that 0-110 mph time. 1.5 seconds faster. That's a beat down. But, as Pill will so note to us, those times were made up because the Camaro really doesn't weigh what we think it weighs. Therefore, those times were all just a paid advertisement for GM. Because, at the end of the day, the weight of the Camaro will NOT be exactly what they claim it to be. So, the weight will come out, it will be 5 lbs heavier and he'll start another thread that goes on for 600 pages about how GM mislead everyone. haha.

Sometimes it feels like there's more talk about the Pill here than talk about cars.

I can't believe motor trend said the mustang interior was better. They can't be serious with that comment. Mustang is full of hard plastic everywhere you look. Plus it was GT PP Premium interior against a base 1SS interior. Still was a nice read tho.

And my point all along has been that SS buyers will forgive this as long as they have the better performing car.

People shopping the Camaro because it's a sporty coupe probably won't be nearly as forgiving.

Read this article from a neutral POV and it's basically telling you that the Camaro is the better performance car but the Mustang is the better coupe. Quieter, more comfortable, a more compliant ride, and easier to see out of.

Remember when you get away from the enthusiast website, the best performing car isn't necessarily the best selling car.

And as usual..............I hope I'm wrong.
Although it's two different size drivers its cleasy to see the difference. That along with an even smaller trunk then before will draw some concerns while cross shopping. Hopefully everything about the car will allow folks to over look such large concerns for a daily driver. Even the ls1 cars whipped the 4.6's but couldn't come close in selling them or economics.

Maybe a loaded 2ss will get better scores on interior.

I was considering a 2015 Mustang and got banned as well because I called their idiot's bull shit out. Wasn't humping Ford and they didn't believe I even own a Mustang because I wasn't saying "omg Ford is the best, Chevy sucks".

Don't worry about it. The same happened to me. They call it trolling, I call it stating facts. I said the Camaro is faster than the Mustang. I was banned.

Online order guide it shows the headroom is 36.6 inches and in Motor Trend it says it's 38.5 inches. That's weird

Something about being "politically incorrect". You either get banned or chastised. Speak your mind, my brothers, speak your mind.

Does either car have a sunroof? That may be where the difference is.
