gotta give the blue oval camp credit for how awesome these new stangs run lol. they actually changed and tweaked alot from the previous models. chevy just made a car around how it looks. the rest of the car seems like an afterthought. ---

Disagree. The Mustang isn’t a particularly great looking car, but the Camaro looks like it came out of a cartoon. I laughed the first time I saw one in person and it towered over everything like a dump truck. ---

Not surprising that this was in 2010 considering that the 2010 Mustang had the 4.6 and the 5.0 was announced for 2011 very early so most people put off buying a new Mustang until the bigger and more powerful motor came out for 2011. ---

I would buy a 2011 Mustang, V6 and/or V8. They’re great cars and make great power (V6) and handle very well compared to other cars in their price segment and greater. In the latest C&D issue which featured their annual Lightning Lap, the V6 lapped the track quicker than the old GT by almost a full second. The 2011 V6 ran a 3:12.5 (quicker than an STi by 1.3s) and the 2011 GT ran a 3:08.6, which beat the EVO (SE, X MR and IX MR), STi, Corvette Z51, Cayman S (non-direct injection), Camaro SS (by .9s, which is huge), Z4M, 370Z Nismo, just to name a few. > > Source: > [http://www.caranddriver.com/features/10q4/lightning\_lap\_2011-feature/sortable\_times\_3a\_complete\_lightning\_lap\_times\_2006\_to\_2011\_page\_8](http://www.caranddriver.com/features/10q4/lightning_lap_2011-feature/sortable_times_3a_complete_lightning_lap_times_2006_to_2011_page_8) > > I couldn’t justify buying a GM until all of their debt to the government is paid off, but that’s just my opinion.
