Hopefully I am posting this in the correct section. Long time lurker here, but finally registered. I am the current owner of a 2012 Mustang GT. I am looking at upgrading in the next few months as I am just returning from overseas where I have been for several years, so car shopping was not easy. The two cars I am torn between are a 2017 Mustang GT w/ Rousch Supercharger (670 hp//GPPP), likely from Joe Meyers Ford in Houston, Tx due to them being close, or a 2017 Camaro 1LE. I understand this is a Mustang site, but looking for opinions, info, experience from those who have driven or experienced both cars. Both of these cars would come in right around $43K or so. I did do a search prior to posting this thread, but didn't see anything specifically comparing the Rouschcharged GT to the 1LE. Whatever I choose will see light track duty possibly twice a year, but primarily be a street car.
Initial thoughts:
Mustang - Lots more power, I like the styling but I would be looking to do some exterior mods, wheels/tires, etc. It would need new wider tires and some suspension work to hook the power. I would also need to invest in OPG, half shafts (eventually) and am a bit worried about the transmission as I would want the M6. I like the possibility of what this car brings to the table power wise. I'd be looking at a GTPP, so the brakes and cooling would help on track days...albeit only a few days a year.
Camaro - Less power. Track focused car. I like the styling from the factory and the wheels, tires are good. The interior is just OK, seems cheap to me. The hardware (suspension, cooling, etc) though all seems to be good to go. LT1 has power limits, even when FI is added, the Coyote seems to do much better. This would limit its street applicability in terms of what I could run with.
Just a few of my thoughts...thanks for any opinions and thoughts.
