I suppose it's better than nothing. Still don't like the body style, but if you do, good for you and I'm happy you got it. Time for a track trip and get some 0-60/100 and 1/4 mile times? Also, 5-speed or auto?

Have read the same, also. Manufacturers now place more emphasis on the overall package of power, handling, and braking. You don't need big Brembos for a pass down the quarter-mile but that's exactly what you want if you are braking hard at the end of the back straight before you enter a turn on a road course.

Times are still unknown. I was actually debating on getting a 2015 4cyl and placing twin turbos on it because it flat out moves!! In fact, a 4cyl with only a tune, new exhaust, drag rubber and no other changes did 10.2 quarter miles back to back before they took it back to the shop for some dyno runs... My 5.0 GT can do 11.5 with a tune and removing everything I can and drag rubber. wrinvert I like that color, is it me or are they starting to look more like gtrs?
I actually thought they look more like the old 240z's from the 70's. Not as long of a nose, but that fast back looked more like a z...

Will do! I can say this... My local dealer told me they have sold more new mustangs than f150's the first four months of 2015. First time in their 60+ year history as a lot (well considering the mustangs are just now 50 years old, but you get the point). And... Out of all the sales, only two are previous mustang owners. Most trade-ins are Subaru, GTR and Audi owners.

Congrats! I'm currently waiting on a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker in B5 blue to be built (scheduled for 6/1). Received an offer I couldn't refuse for my current 15 Challenger scat pack. Looks like we'll both have a lot of fun this summer.

i'm torn on the new camaro. that interior is gorgeous, and the new LT1 being in the SS's would be awesome, but the exterior was rounded too much and looks like every other car on the road now. I couldn't afford to trade mine in for one anyways so i'm good haha.

I understand your thinking. Been there! That said, the only reason I am not an owner of the Camaro is the interior is not built for 6'2"+ sized folks. Seat all the way on the lowest possible setting my "Buzz" cut hair touched the roof. Not for me! THe Mustang gives me 1 1/2" of space with the seat set where I want it. For the price of an SS I would rather get a Corvette Stingray ... And the timing for Chevy could not have been more important. Not to mention the fact that Mustangs are now going to be sold globally, Chevy will never again have the sales crown. The data sheets below is US only...
13,144 UPDATED WITH CHARTS FROM ENATOR:April 2015 Delivery (sales):Mustang April 2015 Deliveries (actual sales):13,144 82% (Pr Ye) Compared to Competition:Camaro April 2015 Delivery (sales): 6,909 -24% (Pr Ye) Challenger April 2015 Delivery (sales): 6,771 32% (Pr Ye)

Not yet. I still see various numbers and I am frankly not to worried. My current GT has more than enough power and the GT 350 will by roughly 100 more HP and Torque in the estimates I see (Being safe). moose517 IMO though mustang has only sold so well recently versus camaro because everybodies been waiting on the 6th gen reveal, have to see mays figures or even june to really see i guess.

Well Moose. Take a look at those charts again. Not in one year has the 5th gen Camaro sold over 10852 Units in any given month. And the Mustang just cranked out over 2000 more units in one month and backed it up with another 3000 over the best ever month for the 5th gen Camaro. So unless you saying even after the introduction of the 5th gen Camaro, that Chevy was re-designing it and as a result had a sales slump... I may giggle at that thought... Now using your logic, one could say that is why the Mustang lagged the last year or so as everyone knew the new Mustang was coming out. Oh but wait!!! They did not drop in numbers waiting for the new generation...

I think the new Mustang looks really nice. It's a shame that GM botched the retro style the way they did. I think it looks too bulky and you cant see out it, the new one isnt any better. I personally like the new Challenger but again with the bulkiness.

LOL look at the chart you posted, other than a few months where mustang really spiked the camaro has consistently sold more over the past few years.... I'm assuming the mustang spikes are entirely due to model year change overs, the current huge spike with the mustangs is impressive i'll agree, but we'll have to wait and see till the new camaro hits the dealers to really see. If i could trade in my 2013 SS for a 2016 SS i'd do it in a heartbeat.

Am I missing something? Why does it matter which car sells more? The only reason I can think of that it would matter is if you were in some sort of popularity contest. Buy what you like, drive what you love. Who cares how many are sold? Or how many people you can beat?
