i'm very impressed with the new mustang.. but I wanna see what happens when your regular guy wants to go with more then just bolts-ons on it.... $380 for 1 cam new 302 5.0 has 4 cams thats 1520 just on cams
i can imagine buying a whole valve-tran set up for the 5 valves per cylinder an plus its runnin 11.0 to 1 compression so your pushin 91 octane with really anymore then that good car good engine but i dont see it being cheap to hop up at all but i guess ford drives are used to spending tons of money to make there **** fast so dropping a grand for cams might not seem that high..... I still prefer 1 cam an pushrods

****, this entire thread is based on a ******* MotorTrend review. MT sucks, does anyone that knows how to change their own oil give a **** what MT writes?
I would be saying the same thing above if MT declared Camaro the winner.

i think the new camaro looks too fat and chunky compared to the concept
vs
the mustang looks just right.
the camaro can be made to look ok, but something about its cartoonish proportions that just rubs me the wrong way. heres a video of the new (chunky) camaro compared to the size of a big ole CHEVELLE and see what i mean
