Have not driven the 2011 Mustang yet. I drove the 2010 Stang, Challenger (RT and SRT8), and SS Camaro. I ended up deciding on the SS. The SRT8 was the only other real contender in my mind but it cost about 10K more than the SS. The 2011 Mustang seems like a great car but costs almost 3K more than a comprably equipped SS. It seems as if is still a good value though and a very sweet car. As far as the Genesis vs Camaro vs 370Z in Car & Driver you left out the rather significant fact that it was a V6 Camaro, not an SS. Running an SS vs a Genesis or 370z is like swatting a fly with a shotgun. No contest.

They used the comparable lower end on all the cars. They did not use the more powerful Genesis either. This would have been like going against the Mustang Cobra 500, or like the Camaro SS. They were trying to make it an even playing field. However the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger or the Genesis
could not keep up with stabilization of the Nissan 370z. None had the stability or the lateral G force strength as the Nissan 370z. If given the choice
of any, not by cost or worth... I would take the Nissan 370z. The car out performs many of the costly BMW's, Audi's, Mercedes and other high end cars.

Camaro's < Mustang's = end of story

However if someone dropped cash into my lap told me to go buy a new car I'd go buy a Nissan GTR and wax new Mustangs and Camaros all day long...

As far as the Mustang/Camaro hype goes.........I'll take my hemi Challenger anyday over either one. Be real. Who really drives (or is capable of) 150 mph . I'll take the good looks and bigger car.

Yes... you are correct, but It will NOW beat for the sake of this thread the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger.
I do not drive a Hundai, but it is appalling that a non muscle car can out perform the above three cars.

My question is why buy new ? For a Warranty ? You can buy a 2 to 10 year old car someone has hopped up correctly for a ton less than a new car.Maybe this is me but my Boss ran out and bought a new First Year 09 ? SRT8 that gets the pants kicked off of it by his stock 71 Challenger with all that new technology.I bought a used yes used 99 Corvette FRC with a hopped up 427 in it that will kill both by bus lengths and then some for $13K which is about a 3rd of what the SRT8 cost.A friend of mine just bought a 2011 GT500KR and what a dissapointment for the $$.He could have bought an 03 or 04 Cobra for a third of the Dollars and had just as much fun.Yup no warranty but the $30 plus thousand will go a long way in repairs.We went down to the local strip a month ago and I laughed at them both as they got beat up on by Honda's and Nissan's as these cars in stock form are not that fast.The New GTR will kill a lot but for the money much better cars can be had.

If you want to get into used cars I'd take me a TT Supra from 99 if you please lol. The Supra's 2JZ motor is by far the best 6 cylinder ever made. Check out this video of someone putting the motor in a Camaro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZqtJTlXON8 If someone laid cash in my lap and told me to go buy whatever car I wanted on of the first cars that I would look at would be a Supra. With the right mods nothing can touch one.
