If I had known the new Camaro would be this strong of a performer, I would've waited a year or so to pick up a used one and never even touched a 5.0. I'm all about performance and mod-friendliness, brand loyalty is pointless. Whoever can bring "it" to the table, well that's who's getting my money.
The SS will be the better performer stock, but for that $7K you could put the Mustang into the 650rwhp range.
I would wait before you buy anything and test drive the Camaro, my buddy put an order in for one after he test drove one but he is concerned the lack visibility will get to him.
unless you want things like a new car, or a warranty, or IRS.2010+ GT500 far superior to both ....
... unless you want things like a new car, or a warranty, or IRS.
Buy a catfish...greatest car ever made.
Notice i said warranty. If you're modding for big power, the warranty and new car argument go away.I test drove a 15 GT a few months after they were out in force. It was well built, and fun to drive as all mustangs are. However, it honestly didnt feel that much better handling than the 2014 GT my dad bought off of me. Personal opinion of course, but for all the hoopla of IRS, it wasnt enough to remotely seal the deal for me. Additionally, if I did get the 2015 GT (same goes for the 5th and 6th gen Camaros), Id have to install new half shaft axles to handle upgraded power (blower/turbo/nitrous etc).
Price with options on the GT that I wanted had the car just over 4K less than a used 2011 GT500 (15k miles) before tax and fees. Needless to say I ended up with my 2011 and have zero regrets, even after everything ive been through with it. if a NEW car isnt manditory, shop around for something that has the power, features and looks you want. Even used cars can be purchased with extended warranties.
If not brand loyal, either car will be a blast to drive. But since Im a Ford guy Id say get the Mustang. Those Camaro guys are all terrible drivers, smell and must actively fight the growth of mullet hairs that are inherent to that car's ownership. Unless... you WANT a mullet... :dw:
I'd punch myself in the throat for buying a "new" pony car.
Go used, get your shits and giggles for cheap.
Sometimes its not that much cheaper, new gets you warranty and sometimes better financing deals.
Unless you are standard SVTP baller buying $25k cars in cash.
This, so much.
Not to mention if someone ever wants to sell their 11-14 car, hope they like being paid chump change
And Lolololololol at blower swap on a 15 for 7k.
Half assed, self installed, junker maybe. To do things RIGHT will cost 10k+, and that's finding deals on parts.
Blower kit (6-9k depending on what you want)
Fuel (fuel pump booster, injectors)
Clutch
Exhaust
Install
Tune
7k? LOL
Can a member please tell me were I can buy a new Whipple supercharger installed for my 2014 5.0 for $7000. I have read several comments on this thread that say i can, but the best I can find is $10000 installed minimum, with one year warranty. That's a Whipple installed by a Ford dealer! Please help with this, I live in south OC and i want to boost my Stang but i don't want to pay too much, thanks!
