@deanml116 There is also the volkswagen golf GTI which is way better than the mustang and cheaper or u could get the sportier version for about the same price as the mustang and its way better quality, and u know it will last more than 3 years without any problems at all (because its german). and dont get me wrong i get the appeal 2 american cars, but come on. the corvette is horrifying, the chevy camaro, u cant see out of, the dodge challenger is 2 heavy, mustang has the live rear axle.

@deanml116 i wont? hmm OK there’s Audi tt for about 5k more than 33k and for that u don’t get that horrible live rear axle, you get magnetic suspension, there’s the Audi a3, Audi a4, there’s the Mercedes c class for 34k, and the Mercedes i bet are way more comfortable than the mustang+ not live rear axle, and like i said there’s also the 370z for 30k, which is WAY better than the mustang, there is also the Porsche Boxter for 49k, and i hardly believe u got the mustang COMPLETELY stock

why does it look like a bumpy ride?
#9 by Rivin2e on February 18, 2012 - 1:55 pm
After top gear… these videos seem better then normal. i guess its cause top gear is more a show with cars then about cars now.

ehhhh. Not a big fan of the new Camaro. The ZL1 is ok. But when i can spend awhole lot less and buy a lighter non supercharged Mustang GT, with a 6spd manual and brembo’s,Do basic bolt ones and beat a ZL1.Fords new 5.0 coyote and roadrunner are crazy good compered to Chevy’s heavy,underpowered 6.2…. Ill take the GT or the Boss 302

@rockettransam911 You obviously have almost no experience with imports. I personally prefer German cars, mainly bimmers, but new Hondas have incredibly nice interiors. Just google the new generation Accord’s interior. That, honestly is nicer than any Chevy’s interior. And Hondas are not any cheaper than Chevy’s. In fact, they’re probably a little more expensive, which according to you makes them better. So, by your logic, Honda is better than Chevy. Boom

@Storm7289 The gt500 is almost as much of a pig as the camaro. The camaro’s great times aren’t limited to one or two tracks. It runs good everywhere. The boss basically just runs well on one or two tracks. They don’t even bother running the boss or gt500 on more treacherous courses like the nurburing. Atleast they don’t bother posting the times.
#14 by GMCman82 on February 18, 2012 - 4:47 pm
@Storm7289 and its less than 60K!
#15 by Storm7289 on February 18, 2012 - 5:23 pm
@nbmblownZ it should it has 120 more hp and it barely beats the times. good luck touching the new gt500 its basically the boss with 650hp
#16 by Mr318live on February 18, 2012 - 5:41 pm
I would have never guessed the new camaro with this engine and suspension combo two years ago. @56K I’ll take one. If your disappointed your not looking at the big picture here.

@kptkim agreed, always think the same!
#20 by nbmblownZ on February 18, 2012 - 7:33 pm
@Storm7289 Sad? It does the nurburing in 7.40 and beat the boss Laguna Seca’s times…….In Laguna Seca!
#21 by homeboyschweitz on February 18, 2012 - 8:06 pm
CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHY HURTS CAMARO SS ONLY TOP OUT AT 140 AND WHY DOSE IT NOT ROST AT ALL FUCKING 650 FOR 3DAYS AND THATS ALL I GOT OUT OF THAT FUCKING THING IN MIAMI

After Top Gear, all other automotive video personalities are terrible.
#23 by Storm7289 on February 18, 2012 - 9:28 pm
@Irocz11389 yes it actually is
#24 by Storm7289 on February 18, 2012 - 9:59 pm
@MaxwellReviresco ever seen the boss 302 beat an audi r8 v8 and nearly tie the gt3 rs and gtr’s times on laguna seca not to mention a simple gt making a tie with a fully equipped m3. dont be a fanboy
#25 by Storm7289 on February 18, 2012 - 10:13 pm
