I might just go with the SS and purchase one of these http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=165. Not sure if I can wait for the Z28.

I'm not a big mustang fan, I do like the cobra, but I don't like the price tag.

Rather than wait for the Mustang 5.0L, wait for the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 that is coming with the new 6.4L HEMI and roughly 500~ Horsepower and a few other updates (interior).
It will be like 10K more then a Camaro SS or Mustang GT. Totally not worth it....

Also the interior IMO is WAY to much like the Charger. At least the Camaros and Mustangs are specific.

I never have been, BUT the new 5.0 GT will be the cheapest, and the quickest, and has the nicest interior. I am being swayed....

Not the quickest, the cars are basically identical except for a 1/10th here or there. The Mustang does handle better but the Camaro rides better with its IRS. Its a hard choice, the Mustang is the better car and is available with nice options like the amazing Nav and Sync system developed by Microsoft and the Vista roof. But that LS3 is plain nasty with the right mods!

You guys are making this tough. When does this 5.0 drop? Maybe I'll have to give it a chance and a hard test drive.

Ok the new Mustang GT is pretty sick. They did a great job with it.

Hate to say it, but from all indications, the Mustang sounds like it will be the most well balanced of the bunch. That being said, I'd get the Z/28 and make it whatever it had to be to be head and shoulders above the rest. LOL

I agree, best interior , 2nd best looks, tie for best engine and the best handling! That being said I modify everything so I would get the show car looks SS or Z/28 and modify it to be everything I want.

I was looking at the Shelby and at that price, why not just get a used BMW M3!

The best test of a Camaro is 12.9 that I have seen, most are in the 13's. There has been only two 5.0 Mustang tests so far, one was a 12.7 and was a 12.8....stock for stock the 5.0 GT is quicker then a SS. And I am a GM guy....

I guess I'll have to really think about this. Love the looks of the Camaro and it has tons of potential. Mustang maybe quicker bone stock, but that's where the supercharger or turbo kit comes in (not sure yet). I guess I just have to give them all another drive and let the pavement figure it out for me.
