Interior all plastic cheap looking check, Lego man hands steering wheel that has akward grip check, cheap looking gauges check, Quiet for a 423hp V8 unless you put exhaust Check( Mine had exhaust so ok), decent chassis and handling but long and heavy front end check, bad visibility and blind spots check, Gear shifter is sloppy and clutch requires a delicate balance( more than normal)check, Good power and torque check, Not an eye catcher anymore too many around check check.. Think about like this, a pro driver would find even more things wrong with this cars characteristics, so there his review was fine

@ChristianFirefighter The simple fact that you own a Camaro (regardless of what cars you've owned in the past) make your opinions biased towards that car. You spent your hard-earned money on it, so, simply put, you have something to lose when someone says they don't like it. I would never review my own cars because I would be (sometimes quite irrationally) biased towards them. And I have no intention of buying 99% of the cars I review, so I have nothing to lose by pointing out their drawbacks.

@RacersMoment I know more bad journalists that work for print magazines than I care to mention. That still doesn't answer my point at all. Since that test, there is an all new powertrain in the Mustang. Sure, the 2010 wasn't all that, but the 2011 positively blows the doors off the Camaro and Challenger. There's no point comparing this Camaro to a car that's out of production, especially when there are no changes planned for the 2011 Camaro.

@EclipseGS04 EVERYONE cares about visibility. Why would you want to drive a car that you have to break your neck just to see a damn traffic light? Why would you want a giant A-pillar blocking your view around a corner? Why would you want to crash because you can't see out of the rear 3/4? And your comparisons of the GT500 make no sense. The Z/28 isn't out yet and has had no performance tests done on it, and Corvettes, CTS-V's, and GTR's are all at least $15,000 more expensive than the GT500.

@RicerEater1978 "From what I've seen the mustang has the same plastic interior." That statement is a dead giveaway that you haven't actually touched, sat in, or driven a new Mustang. The dash upper is made of soft rubber, the same material that BMW and Audi use. The dash itself is made of REAL aluminum, not painted plastic. And you claiming that you'd use a different grip for different steering wheels tells me that you know nothing about high performance driving.

I agree with the issues with visibility, some hard interior surfaces(Although many other performance cars of the segment are guilty of this as well), and the user interface issue such as the unergonomic steering wheel and poorly placed pedals, however once you discount the 5.0 Mustang there is just about nothing in that 30k performance car segment that will really outperform the SS around a track in terms of overall speed.

@spcaue I'm a women and I bought a black with white strip SS and love it since my dream car was the 69 and trust me.....I drive it fast!. I've installed a borla exhaust, under lighting, and carbon fibered the interior all myself. Navagation does come with the car through ONSTAR...as well as XM radio. As far as the windows being small, go to any car show...chopping is almost standard. besides, when you tint, you don't have to go that dark because the angle makes it look darker then it is.

@RicerEater1978 10 and 2 is the incorrect position for your hands. Go to a racing school. 9 and 3 is how you should grip a wheel for performance driving. I know WHY the Camaro has poor visibility, but that doesn't help the problem of not being able to see a damn thing when driving it. And most cars at this price point don't have hard plastic dash. See: Mustang, Genesis Coupe, 370Z, BMW 1-series, Challenger, etc. None of which have plastic dash. Your 1 example of a car that does means nothing.

@ShepperdW the suction cup won't stick to the textured plastic on the dash. If I used 3M foam tape, or something more permanent, maybe. But I switch my GPS between cars and wouldn't want the only solution to be covering my dash with sticky foam crap.

@Trapoligist I don't know about you, but I drive 60,000 miles a year, often to places where I've never been before. I need a nav.

We were there with the 1st gen Camaro's that night and several of us ran sub 50 second times. I've run 48.25 at Adam's in my 68 Camaro

@conanobr we tested the GT on Ford's media drive program, and we weren't allowed to just peace out and run it on a track. I have requested a GT to test, but we use the same track for all our testing. It may be small, but it's the only one we got.

@ShepperdW I was driving the GTI. So the only fair way is to have me drive the Camaro too.

@italomopar 3 reasons: 1) Weight. An IRS adds about 200 pounds to the car. 2) Price. An IRS adds about $1500 to the cost of the car, and 3) Drag Racing. Many Mustang owners drag race their cars, and the live axle setup is better for drag racing. In most cases, the live axles in the new Mustangs are fine. The only time we'd wished for an IRS is when driving very fast over bumpy roads. Since that's a relatively rare condition, they don't feel the need.

@sford01 yeah, not a bad piece if you ask me. They did a good job with the editing. I didn't realize how close I was sitting to the damn webcam though!
