Congratulations to your son and I completely understand how you were impressed with the car. The new Mustangs are an amazing platform and have a lot of great features inside and out.

Post up some pics when he gets it in the driveway!

Plain and simple, the GT- and mine is BASE, I bought brand new for a little over 30K, 6.5 less than my Camaro. And oh yeah after that horrible A8 in the Camaro I got a 6 speed manual. I love the car- not because it's a Mustang because it does everything it's supposed to do- drives and tracks straight, everything works, it shifts great, sounds great, etc. But there will always be a sweet spot for Camaros that I will always have and I turn my head for every one that I see on the road.

Congrats- the GT California edition is a nice car!

Says no mustang owner ever.

Preach! I had a 2011 GT/CS and traded it in on a Ram because the MT82 was falling apart. Beautiful car otherwise.

I love the competition! I love any American muscle or pony car. The Camaro Mustang rivalry comes from the old days of racing... I myself don't hate Mustangs like some of my Camaro friends do. You mention the word and they shriek as if you just insulted their mothers. The vitriol is bizarre.

I like most of it, I hate the air vents and there are too many buttons in the middle console

CS Looks good, but I think those Mustangs need some sort of a hood scoop or something. The hoods are just so plain with no sharp lines at all.

We looked at a non Cal Pkg and it was not even close, they really stepped it up with the Cali Pkg and again the sound is amazing, Active Exhaust with 4 levels of loud. Even the new Digital Dash is really nice.

Lose the side decals/scoops, add a blade spoiler, and change out those fugly wheels and it would look a million times better....

Was never a fan of the current generation mustang until my buddy picked up a Kona Blue 2018 GT a couple of weeks back. Car is super sweet and makes me question my decision on buying the Camaro especially given the A8 issues I've had.

Still not ready to jump ship as I don't care for the way the Coyote makes power. Just not enough low end for me to really enjoy the car. The Roush Supercharger changes the game and the fact that I can get a PP1 car with the 10 speed for around $35K is tempting.

Ford did everything right on the new 18 GT except on looks...I would rather have a 19 SS refresh.

there's some sensitive folks in here. Um, where has anyone posted "hate"? Just curious what you snow flakes actually consider hate. It's a forum #1. Anyone can post an opposite opinion if they so choose. But hate? Lower it down a notch will ya. smh. jeezus. haha.



Waiting on that 500.........................

I don't get some of the comments lately about how the Camaro sound is "tame".

When the 2016 Camaro was released and videos of the NPP exhaust surfaced people loved it. It was the loudest stock exhaust for a "pony" car outside of the Hellcat. I've scared people before with my stock NPP exhaust.

The 2018 Mustang might be louder or whatever, but don't tell me the NPP exhaust is just tame. She sings when you want her to.

My exact thoughts lol.

I got rid of my Lava Red 2012 GT Premium because of that piece of shit transmission.

Agreed but definitely NOT the fake ass hood scoop the previous gen had. God that tacked on piece was terrible looking.
