2011 mustang definitely faster than 2010 camaro

0 press junket. And while we’re sworn to secrecy until March 29 not to divulge our driving impressions, they said nothing about giving away the pure facts, so here goes. This morning, we arrived at Camarillo Airport where a huge stretch of tarmac was cordoned off for eighth-mile drag racing.

How could it not,,,,,this is huge for Ford. I can't imagine anyone buying a 5.0 and being dissapointed, from looks, sound, performance,,,the only thing that could ruin it is if the new tranny's are crap. Of course the FI guys are allready crying about the C/R being too high but with that kind of baseline power you have to be on the edge of streetabilty as it is now.

**fazm** · 03-28-2010

any serious fi guy will build the motor anyway

**Mwood** · 03-28-2010

How soon will Chevy end the Camaro this time?
