2015 Camaro killer!!!
#22
Ya, the current mustang already kills the bloated camaro in everything but ride over really bumpy roads. I'm sure the next one that will be lighter and faster with a IRS, will certainly be way slower than the Camaro. Ya right! Lol.

I love the new wars that have come back. I wish dodge/mopar would enter the fight.
Not sure at which trim level the stang has beaten the camaro but I haver seen anything that supports that. I also think the zl1 is going to shred the gt 500.
I hate drag racing so if that's what you meant then maybe, but who gives a shit.

This is a quote from the Wall street journal interview with a Ford spokesman on the Mustang redesign...
"The new Mustang is due as a 2014 model, and will look somewhat like an Aston Martin, the high-price sports car often featured in James Bond movies. People who have seen the new Mustang said it is almost a body double for the Evos concept car that Ford showed at the Frankfurt auto show last fall.
A Ford spokesman said he couldn’t comment on Ford’s product plans for the Mustang"

Umm..That would be SS vs. GT and 6cyl. vs. 6cyl. ZL1 don't know vs. 650hp. Shelby..Both are not out to go head to head yet..

Yes, it's still lacking an independent rear suspension. Nobody expects Ford to change that anytime soon. Why would they when it works this well? This is particularly true when talking about performance on a smooth road, as we had for the majority of our test. As such, our 5.0 GT equipped with its new 6-speed manual, quad-cam aluminum V-8 and optional Brembo Brake Package was in heaven. The 3-link live rear axle compromises some ride comfort on bumpy stuff, but gives up little to none out at the track. Drag racers prefer this setup for its robust nature and lack of wheel hop on launch, the latter in stark contrast to the Camaro.
An all-new 6-speed transmission is fully utilized with gear ratios neatly spaced so that the electronically limited top speed of 145 mph is reached in 6th, unlike the Camaro, which can do it in 4th, 5th and 6th. Mustang GT drivers will enjoy shifting this close-ratio box. Like the Camaro, there is now a skip-shift feature, an EPA mileage Band-Aid that forces the driver to shift from 1st–4th under moderate acceleration. Interestingly, it is far more of a nuisance in the Camaro because 1st gear is so much taller.
Where the Mustang really shines, though, is in its relatively low weight. Our test car gained just 80 lb. over the previous version. The majority of that extra weight can be chalked up to the optional glass roof panel and bigger brakes. But all said, it’s still more than 200 lb. (6 percent) lighter than the Camaro. Unfortunately, it remains nose-heavy in its balance, although you’d never know it by its crisp turn-in and ability to clip apexes.

A real interior? Whats wrong with the current interior?

Granted the current interior is better, but it still looks dated and the materials are rather cheap. My 2007 is absolute crap. Lol.
