i dont think so but i could be wrong, same power and less weight for the mustang. I guess gearing could affect it but my guess is stock for stock the new 5.0 will take a stock camaro.[/QUOTE]

I agree. The new Camaro is just far too heavy and I think ford finally has a faster product. Only took them till now to finally get there though. We will see once some comparisons are done. I think it was smart of Ford to hold out the new 5.0 platform until after the camaro hit. Just make sense as it's too costly for GM to rethink the camaro so early into this generation.

MUSTANG
Dude I can't believe everyone is letting you off the hook here. Your story is weak...Take your time try to spell some of the words right, learn how to capitalize letters and you will be taken more seriously. Now nice kill, and remember killing that Mustang was easy. Some Mustangs may just kill you.

Damn that sucks. Just came back from visiting my hometown in Jersey. Cold and snowy up there...I do miss it though. Met with a realtor looking for a small house in NW Jersey for when I retire. Car went 11.1 at 124 couple of weeks ago...looking for that elusive 10.

Retire? You aren't that old, at least I didn't think. Hell you are almost there on the ET. A small shot would put you there if everything else is sorted. Don't know if you want to go that route.

Thought i was the only one to catch this. He will get his *** handed to him by a mustang one day. Geez i still remember that *** whoopin i took by an 04 termi. To speculate on the Camaro vs 11GT....I believe the Camaro is gonna have its *** handed to it IMO. Time will tell.....

I'm 48 with 27 years in...LOL. I swore I would work till I am 55 cause I like what I'm doing...If someone pisses me off though, well, bye bye.

I have a built shortblock done in my garage. Problem is to get it off the stand and in my car is gonna cost me. I don't have the denaro right now. Once it goes in...up goes the boost.

Exactly, there is always someone faster than you. Got smoked at the track by a fast talking Puerto Rican with a low 10 second rotary RX3 or some ****. Sounded horrible and pounded me like a baby seal, throwing fire out every shift...what the hell, took me a long time to live that down. Think he called me "sucker" or maybe "dumbass" in spanish when I was paying him.

^^Just what I was thinking Stopsign^^ Bench racing is weak anyway especially when the car hasn't been sold to the public yet.

I'm not bench racing, but I think ford finally has a GT that will compete with an SS Camaro. Still close to call, but both cars should rival really well in stock form and aftermarket

How would you know that? I think that you just a regurgitate information that you've heard from 1997, and spew it out as fact. You don't know what the power band is like, what the shift points are, the transmission gears, etc...

I doubt you've even seen a new 5.0 on the road..

How do you know? Have you seen the powerband of the 2011 5.0 yet?
x 10000

Oh wait, here's how he knows...

Don't like em ever since I was a kid I never did. Always like birds. They aren't attractive to me, remember. Mustangs can run but birds can fly
Ignorance at it's finest...

I think the 2011 Mustang is going to walk the Camaro.
Same power, less weight, better gearing? Case closed.
