Automobile magazine says of the new Camaro...

Please sir, may i have one?

The Australian 6 cylinder Ford engines are faster than the 5.4L V8s.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure this thing is sitting on a Holden designed chasis (same as the Commodores)

Holy crap you Ford guys get butt hurt easy.  This is going to be fun!

Seeing as how my wife drives a Dodge, I spend most of time in a Monte Carlo, and then there's a '68 Merc in the garage I'm hardly what you would call a Ford guy.  I said the same thing when the Mustang came out.  Beautiful styling, but let's get a few on the road before we proclaim them King. 

If it's true that it's basically a two door G8 then color me disappointed.  I took a G8 on a test drive a few weeks back and was devestated.  I loved the styling and the feel of the driving position, but actually going down the road was woeful.  It was fine as long as you were cruising at speed, but I got it in the twisty's with a lot of throttle and brake and it became unbearable.

So... What're the prices for V6 and V8?

Sorry Tongs, I can't quote on the phone. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Holden chasis, Ford America have been evaluating the XR6 Turbo for the US market in attempt to gain some market position back because their sedans are rubbish. I woudn't be surprised if GM were taking bits from Holden, they already poached the Monaro and ruined it with a gross body kit and grill. Haha

8k from base to V8 is pretty steep..

Camaro:G8 = Challenger:Charger. Another near legendary name applied to a sedan with some doors cut off.

Wasn't the original Mustang just a rebodied Comet?

the original mustang was a slightly stretched, re-suspended, re-engined falcon.

I'm disappointed that they went with the style they did.  The production model is based on a concept that drew heavily from the 69 Camaro.  I really liked the one that was based on the 67 - 68; it had nice flowing lines without the sharp edges, with recessed headlights and chrome bumpers.  It was a lot classier.

starting at 22k?

the 09 mustang starts at 19k

that means, that to get either one of them in a nice V8, and handling package, they're gonna cost more than any mustang or camaro is worth.

i like the looks of it.......but i kinda don't like the tail lights. they almost look like corvette taillights, just stuck in there. think they'd have done better to use something more resembling the older style lights......

The base $22.9k V6 Camaro has 300 HP, same as the $28.7k Mustang GT V8.

dunno bout the roush mustang...but i was just on this site.....http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/models/


HOLY CRAP!!!!
 how the hell does ford justify 80k for a dam MUSTANG? i mean, i love mustangs, and think they're much much better than any of you guys give em credit for, but the only mustangs worth that much are rare 60's models restored.........
 this one, although not a KR, is a bit more reasonable, but still too expensive for a mustang i think......http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/models/

 think i won't be looking at any of them any time soon
