Hack, Read the thread title.



The only hope that the Camaro's superior performance and driving experience are because of customers (like me) who are hesitating on replacing their long-paid for previous gen cars.

Some of us saw what our money "should be "buying and the Ford fell short in a few (important to some of us) measures. I don't want to have to modify my brand new Mustang to even come close to a stock Camaro SS. That's embarrassing...and it totally negates the widely tossed around price advantage for the Mustang.

If you don't care about performance than there is no debate. The S550 is wonderful to look at both exterior and interior...to some of us, the Mustang GT is a performance car. The S197 GT (with the Coyote) was absolutely unmatched in performance:dollar. The S550 gained weight and not enough power to keep that status.

Now the Camaro costs a bit more but drives and goes much better. A base $37k 1SS will mop the floor with a $38k GT/PP.

Yes, the Mustang is doing a lot better than the Camaro at the market place...but sales for all muscle cars have dropped off a bit. They have an obligation to meet shareholder expectations and I think that will push Ford to make the Mustang better in one of the primary ways that these cars have been great- performance.

FWIW, I came to this forum to learn about the (possible) Mach 1 and the impending 2018 refresh...but most of all, because I don't want a Camaro. I want a Mustang that drives at least as well as one.

What are you talking about with your 200lb weight gain?

Base GT S550 gained about 80 lbs or so. V6 gained about 6lbs

Any weight gained is more than made up for with IRS and superior cornering ability

I don't eat fast food in general, but I _really_ don't get the love for Chick-Fil-A. It's a like a thing for soccer moms at the mall - and when I was doing some work downtown, there a CFA cart that would come to the building, some people would FTFO.

I grabbed a sandwich, it was some wet piece of chicken on a dry bun, without any condiments ...

(Delicious food removed to preserve the intent of the thread - even if we're still talking about Chick-Fuk-A)

lol..you comparing fast food to that?

 

[ZaneWayne]

As far as fast food is concerned, chick fill a is at the top!

Don't forget the pickles!

IMHO, that's the beauty of if...simplicity at it's finest. A moist, deep fried chicken filet with a hot, soft bun...no dressing needed. My only issue with Chick-Fil-A is a single sandwich doesn't fill me up, so I end up buying a regular and spicy.

 

[MaskedRacerX]

Ugh.

Hahaha, we running (like I do most afternoons), Simpsons on FXNow (Simpsons World), just had a moment with Milhouse and Bart wearing women's clothes, jumping on the bed, singing "Sisters are doing it for themselves"

Homer: "What's going on? And I want a non-gay explanation!"

Damn you make a simple sandwich sound awesome! Do have stock with Chick-Fil-A? Lol

Well not specifically, obviously you're not going to knock that out at work or something, just that people's perspective of good, is, umm, very relative.

... but even for lunch, no fast food, deli sandwich (with good meat and cheese and bread), maybe leftovers, salad, smoked salmon ...
