Having owned mostly all GM product, it's good to see the Camaro beating out its competition. But personally, I like the look and package of the Mustang better.

Dont know what motortrend did but Most people with the new GT's dyno stock 340-350 Rwhp in a auto and 365-375 in a MT.. I still venture over to my Mustang forums from back in the day and thats what I have been seeing.. With Kooks Longtubes, full exhaust, JLT Cold Air intake, and a tune they make 420-430 rwhp with a MT and 375-385 in a Auto.. Very sick numbers for a all motor mustang..


The thing about the mustang is how much will big mods cost for it? I know with the older 4.6's doing a cam swap in a 2 valve was just around 1000.00 in cams and springs alone if not more. The new 5.0 is a high compression motor so after you spend the money on all the bolt ons and what not whats next? You have to get 4 cams which I could only imagine how much that will run for the parts, cant do a blower anymore because of the higher compression.

Being a performance nut I think the GT Mustang is a great buy for the power but in the long run it will cost to much for me anyways to do any major mods to it that I would want to do to it..
