apples and oranges. I have no issue with the vettes but dollar for dollar, you can't beat the new five oh. Let's see if Chevy puts the Camaro on a much needed diet. The new gen stang is shedding size and weight.

You can buy a 5th gen Z06 for under 20k and have the best bang for your buck and whip a 5.0 and a Cobra and a terminator.... throw a cam, exhaust and a tune on the ole LS6 and its a damn beast. I only fear other Vettes and newer Z06's on the street.

nice ride and kudos to you but you're comparing a used car to a new car

now, keeping in the new car market, as I was doing, my statement holds true. Dollar for dollar comparing the new five oh to the new camaro and chevy had best step it up

I own both a stang and camaro and am loyal to neither.

it could stand to lose 500 pounds. Have you seen a gen 1 sitting next to a gen 5?

it's more than the "freshman 15"

I view these cars (stang/camaro) as pony cars. They are supposed to be compact, nimble and a good power to weight ratio so even with 300HP v6 they do quite well.

But, who am I? I'm just one guy with an opinion like everyone else.
