Turbo 4 Camaro vs V6 Mustang

[ZaneWayne]

Give me a base GTPP, take the $4500 advantage money, get springs, sway bars, wheels and tires and blow the Camaro away for the same money.

Base GTPP is $35,790. 1SS is $37,295. Difference of $1,505. Not $4,500.

This is where people are screwing up. Don't start with a GTPP. Get the base model and ad 4 grand worth of suspension. That'll be a pretty stout handling car.

Hell yeah it would be. $4k worth of suspension mods would have that thing riding on rails.

I think the gtpp is kind of a rip off package. You get a lot of stuff on the car for the money. But the tires still suck, they arent wide enough, the strut bar is a joke, the wheels are heavy as an anchor and the struts and the spring rate are not optimized for the best handling. Its a big ass package of compromise. I strongly dislike the small performance increase it offers. Base gt is where its at.

I don't have an issue with the PP package for the money. As long as you have no delusions that it's enough to be competitive with the other guys. The tires suck. The wheels are heavy as hell. If I'm building a car for the twisties. I'm doing coilovers. Cup tires and light weight forged wheels. That should put me at about PPGT money.

I think I am the one shopping in this exact segment. I am a 20-year-old university student and I am trying to buy my first vehicle on my own. With 10000 in my bank and a 1200/month job I am looking for a 20-30k vehicle. Have looked at used chrysler 300s, charger, new challenger, camaros and mustangs. The market in my place(Canada , BC) is not that big so used 300s and charger cost 30k ish, challengers cost 35k ish so they were ditched.

Since the mustang have been refreshed in late 2015 I have been waiting for the new camaro to come out and see if it is gonna work for me. There is no doubt that the camaro has a stiffer/more track-orienated chasis and is better performance-wise. But for my price range, I am looking for a cool-looking crusier with some praticality as it is gonna be my only vehicle. With incentives the mustang v6 here cost 25k tax included while a base camaro cost 30k without tax. Also, if I spend 30k on my car, I 'd rather spend 2k on a set of wheels, 1k for some cosmetic updates to make it unique and save the rest.

In all, with the price range, mustang V6 is the best choice for me (cool looking crusier), and I will be getting that hopefully in April as my 20th birthday gift for myself

Nope. MSRP on a base 2.0T M6 is $26,695. My dealer knocked $1400 off the price of a V6 when I checked pricing just a month ago.

Do yourself a favor and don't get wrapped up into car payments while in college. Especially with 1200 per month income. I am not in any way trying to put you down but trying to help. I apologize if I sound like an ass. :cheers:

People say the brakes alone are worth it. I have never looked into upgraded brakes so I cannot say if they are right. I just know that is the biggest justification I see.

This. Sorry but 1,200 bucks a month is not enough to buy a new car in College.

The case is that my parents pay for all of my expenses at the moment and they are happy to give me 30k to buy a brand new vehicle. It's just that I feel like my hobby should be supported by myself instead of my parents so i am gonna use the money I saved up as down payment (10k) and use 4 years to pay for the rest. Its not a burden for me as all of my salary is just there to pay for gas, insurance and my car.

Hmm. I mean in that case I personally would probably buy it. But I'm full of bad advice. Lol.

Sounds like a pretty kick ass deal though.
