i disagree

mustang chassis and weight > camaro chassis and weight is more like it.... the LS3 is still noting to laugh at i mean stock automatic ls3 vettes rape!

I know, I was just trying to rile up the GM guys. The stock LS3 makes more power than the 5.0, but that's just because of the displacement difference. I think the 5.0 has the LS3 beat in efficiency. But either way, both motors are impressive.

The 5.0L is good for business. GM will have to improve their product. Ford also has some tricks up their sleve with the 5.0L.

Poor F-Body. It's about to go extinct again.

just because ford finally made the mustang faster than the camaro (after how many decades?) doesnt mean the f-body is going to be "extinct". :hsughlol:

How much are those 2004 Camaro SS's worth? The Mustang drove the F-body to extinction once already.

The F-Body died in 2002. This giant Camaro Air Craft Carrier - whale like looking thing is on the Zeta Platform lol.

I think slumping sales and ROI were the reasons why the fbody production stopped in 2002. i doubt ford was twisting gm's arm until they screamed mercy. i do like that new 5.0 and hate the 2010 camaro. :ford:

yes, because gm was just going to leave the engine as is, and ford will be the only one tinkering with anything:nuts:

GM seems to be behind in engine tech frankly. For the 2011 MY, Ford came out with a lot of new engines....From boosted, diesel, to N/A. GM is behind due to the financial issues/bankruptcy slowing development of a lot of projects.

well whats tough about that though is who knows how the new engines are going to hold up though- i agree with you jason but yeah... first year shit scares the fuck out of me...

and also- as far as the diesel thing- gm doesnt need to come out with a new diesel- their duramax is still rockin shit.

The hp wars are great. I rag on gm because of their bankruptcy, but the new Camaro made Ford fast track the 5.0 program.
