and they rated the 0-60 MPH at 4.4 sec for 5.0? is that what most mags rate it to or is that not the average?

I personally would love to have one each. They're all awesome cars. But i've noticed motor trend has a habit of favoring the newest car out. Not saying the 5.0 mustang didn't deserve to win cuz it very well could have. Just saying.

Dont take to much into Motor Trend as I saw the Porsche beat out both the ZR1 and Nissan GTR. The Porsche got its butt kicked in every performance catagory by the ZR1 and GTR but still got 1st place.

or instead of being lazy you could have searched, and gone into the multiple posts already, and seen the opinions there.

if you dont want someones opinion on something, you probably shouldnt post in a public internet forum, just a thought.

Motor Trend has had a love affair with the new 5.0 Mustang since it was released for Media testing. The way they talk about it, it must be the greatest car around.

I saw one yesterday, and I wouldn't drive one. Yes, it's a bonifide 12 second car. I looked inside of it, nothing special. (To be fair, the Camaro's interior leaves plenty to be desired).

I think the 5.0 engine is great, the exhaust sounded very nice, and the car is obviously smaller than the Camaro so it probably is pretty fun to drive, but it's ugly. Doesn't that count for anything?

And the way Motor trend makes fun of the Camaro's appearance is lame. The Camaro has plenty of style and it's still a sexy car.
