marc_p Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I love the drag cars - but not a big fan of the modern day mustang and camaros etc. Have you driven one? I have driven most incarnations of the new mustangs for a few weeks at a time (V6, hardtop, convertible, 5.0 GT) and think they are fantastic cars, the only one that I had an issue with was the convertible as the scuttle shake was quite bad, but sat behind the wheel of '12 5.0 GT, the sound of a V8 literally rumbling through the cabin and sat on an empty highway with huge amounts of instant torque just there under your right foot, you can then ram that throttle down and literally see the bonnet raise up and point to the stars.........all the while feeling like your a true badass listening to your rock music in a leather jacket , they are the moments I live for In regard to the new Camaro, I had one of these for a few weeks aswell, but it was a V6, so to compare it to a V6 mustang it just doesn't compare, Mustang wins all the time, handling, speed, sound, practicality, the only thing that I think the Camaro is better at is the dashboard design and some of the exterior design. It's still a fantastic car though and is nice to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive watched many videos of kids in little civic beat V8's. I agree they make a great sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove a 4.0 V6 mustang in Canada and although not the V8 sounded epic when it came on song, for me muscle cars will always be my favorite cars because they are outrageous and a gallon to the mile is how I like it Drove in a Camarao while I was out there too and that had a fantastic sound track as did the brand new SS Camaro that screamed past us, i'll admit that it gave me a semi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 American cars = Epic fail! Thats my opinion anyway That may be your opinion, but the facts can't be argued with. Corvette - remember that 'American car'? Here's the 'Epic Fail' record for this car at Le Mans since 2000: Year Class Place 2000: GTS 3rd & 4th 2001 GTS 1st & 2nd 2002 GTS 1st & 2nd 2003 GTS 2nd & 3rd 2004 GTS 1st & 2nd 2005 GT1 1st & 2nd 2006 GT1 1st & 7th 2007 GT1 2nd & DNF 2008 GT1 2nd & 3rd 2009 GT1 1st & DNF 2010 GT2 2x DNF 2011 GT2 1st & DNF I'd say 7 wins at the 24 hrs of Le Mans, on the podium 17 times out of a possible 24 and taking 1st AND 2nd in the same year on 4 occasions is a pretty decent record for a car that you class as an 'Epic Fail'. I won't lower myself to tell you where you can put your opinion - the above tells it as it is. No other car in it's class has come close to this kind of performance this century. I realise that American cars aren't to everyone's taste, I'm not that blinkered by the fact I drive one, but for performance and reliability, some American cars are hard to beat.
