As you already know, I wasn't completely convinced on the Mustang GT until the '18s came out. Yeah, as I described earlier the GT previously had its merits and was a good looking car, but they finally put together the complete package in the '18 A10 PP1 (for me). Fast, sounds great (louder and better sounding than the 15-17 GTs), more hp and a significant more low and mid range torque than Gen 2 Coyotes, looks, safety tech., features, etc. Anyway, looks and many things are subjective. Heck, even engines with similar power output are subjective. I love the dual injection on the Gen 3, and the fact it has 12.0:1 compression ratio, and revs to 7,500 rpm redline (the sound above 7k IMO is something else, simply because that's not anything I've ever had the ability to do in a V8 before this). I look back on the performance of old Z28s and GTs (like my stock '87 Z28) and sometimes still can't believe how far both pony cars have come. I have been feeling nostalgic lately for my old 3rd gen Camaro...been looking at them on autotrader. They have gone up in value, for sure, esp., clean IROCs. and 91-92 Z28s Maybe someday I'll buy one that doesn't run and rebuild it from the chassis through the drivetrain with modern engines/trans/ and suspension components. Who knows. Good stuff.

I love a clean IROC, especially the 89-90. LS swap it with a T-56 and it would be perfect!

I had a '15 and '19 GT. The '19 GT sounds better stock than a Camaro w/NPP IMO. With axleback....the SS sounds better. The SS is a much sportier car though and I prefer it over the Mustang.

1987 and 2006.
Mustangs were ‘74 notchback, ‘76 Cobra, and 2 ‘79 Pace Cars (one 2.3T, one 5.0L). All the Mustangs were bought used while I was in college. General Motors Institute What can I say, I was a rebel. Fitting that I spend the last 10 years of my GM career in Competitor Intelligence.

2007 Mustang V6 (4.0)(Auto)
2008 Mustang GT (4.6)(Stick) 2010 Mustang V6 (3.7)(Auto) 2011 Challenger R/T (5.7)(Stick) 2015 C7 (6.2)(Stick) 2015 Mustang GT (5.0)(Stick) 2016 C7 (6.2)(Stick) 2017 Daytona 392 (...6.4)(Auto) Now Currently in a 2019 2SS 1LE (Stick of course) I think I have run the gamut in recent years with generations and engines and quality yadda yadda. The top 2 most fun cars I have owned have been the 2017 Daytona and 2016 C7. Now in all honesty the 1LE has kicked the C7 to #3(My 16 C7 was non-Z51 but had Mag Ride and NPP). Cars today are awesome and I used to be a hardcore Mustang Fanboy. Now I just appreciate cars that give me the all around better experience and this Camaro has yet to disappoint. My top car used to be my 16 C7 until I started a family. I'm not the type of guy that wants something just for me. I want to share the experience with my wife and kid too. The Camaro does that. The C7 I felt connected to. The Daytona was just a Hoon mobile but the Camaro I feel connected to, I never felt that in a Mustang except for my 2008 GT. That's why the Bowtie has me reeled in. Okay enough rambling from me. |

I had a '19 GT and now a '19 SS. I don't think it's really a close contest. The SS feels way more like a sports car and I think it looks way more sporty/meaner. Look at the hood on the SS compared to the GT.....come on....

It looks like yours was a base GT. The PP1 is more comparable to the SS. I don't really care how "mean" a car looks, really, just how good it looks. IMO the '18+ GT PP1 is better looking than any 6th gen SS.
