One driver says the Z spins like Crazy and another one doesn't. On paper is what got me in the Dealership door so I give Chevy/Ford/Hyundai credit for that, but it's the whole package that sold me! What saddened me was that a car with almost 100 more hp just barely beats the Z! The american muscle cars have the potential but they dropped the ball IMO. But obvisouly that does't mean much when I see 50 camaros or Stangs per day |
There is a lot of good information in the thread however when referring to cars such as Camaros or Mustangs saying which ones is faster, I believe you need to reference which model. There are many models especially for Mustangs. We all know base models for these two cars suck.

It's also one of the best performing cars you can buy in the $23K range. |
Well suck in comparison to the V8 model or the Z. Sure for the price its a good buy but 323hp in a 3780lbs car doesnt turn me on. The SS is in the same price range as a Z and is 426hp in a 3860lbs car. It has more hp but also about 500lbs over the Z so I feel like its a better run as I wont even consider a base camaro if he revs at me. (which they do a lot)
Same thing for the mustang V6 which is 305hp in a 3501lbs car. In order to push a chassis that heavy you need some power imo. |
They go pretty well and can run 12s with bolt ons. They really wake up when you tune them for 93.
(I'm taking about the V6 Mustang... I know nothing about the V6 Camaro) |
Quote:
When you consider they are going for ~50% less than the Z it makes it pretty hard to draw any sort of meaningful comparison between the two. I mean heck, a sport package Z stickers north of 35K these days. The new V6 stang sits in a price range lower than the base WRX, alongside cars like the Civic SI. You wind up with the V6 variants positioned against the Z the way the Z is positioned against the Cayman...would you rather have the nice one...or two of the cheap ones? |
No matter how hard you try to sell it, it's still the crappier mustang of the bunch (v6). Which with mustangs is saying a lot. I think it'll take another good generation or two before that car finally starts losing the hate and the ford zealot fact checkers get their retribution.
Also didn't realize this thread was about mustangs... |
For the price of a v6 Camaro or Mustang I'd rather get an FR-S. Yes the straight line speed is no where near the Chevy or Stang but:
1 - FR-S turns more heads 2 - It is a way better initial tuning platform with a very strong and growing aftermarket 3 - it was designed to be a driver's car not an entry level car that leaves a lot on the table 4 - Willing to bet that the manual gearbox in an FR-S > v6 camaro, mustang and the Z |

Agreed on the s2000/frs/brz front. Every summer I get so close to just impulse buying a used s2000 convertible. |

You should buy an S2K, btw. It's good for the soul. :driving: |

Barring any major cockups they'll definitely get there. Quote:

You've definitely got it worse as far as space goes. The S2K can work as a DD... the trunk is actually spacious enough for a weekend getaway for two. Then again, the S2K is a pig compared to your Lotus. :icon18: |
Pretty impressed by anyone that would DD a lotus.

For you guys who remember me....I definitely had to chime in on this camaro v6 topic. I would give anything to have my Z back, but that is still not an option yet. But since getting rid of my Z almost a year ago, I bought a 2011 Challenger(v6) and that thing was junk to me. Was way too heavy and I felt like I was driving a stretched out Neon. But I DO have a 2012 camaro (v6) and I love it. Yea the interior isn't all that great but I feel good in it. Still no comparison to the Z tho :(

America is a general term, it means "new world" (or western hemisphere) hence South America, Central America and obviously North America to say you are American is vague and could actually include us, Canadians and any other person living on the western hemisphere in Central or South America

whoa, timewarp.
At the same time I thought it was common knowledge not to settle for a V6 variant of any of the 3 pony/muscle cars. I'm sorry, but like why would someone do that? I'm waiting to see who buys the A90 Supra with the I4 and no plans to do an engine swap. |

6th Generation
Listen, the only Camaro capable would have to be a 2016 on up 6th generation.
I have a neighbor just got back from Michigan found a black on black 2lt SS 6 speed with magnetic ride and after driving that I'm impressed at how much better the 6 gen. really is. With 17K miles he got it for 30K, well done, fast a very capable car. |
