I afraid to see what the 2013 will look like. Modern and Edgy don't suit the Mustang in my opinion. But if it has 600hp then again who cares what it looks like.

Yeah sure they have lots of horsepower, but to be fair the power to weight ratio is what really counts, isn't it? I test drove the 2011 SS with 426 hp, and honestly I wasn't impressed at all with the straight line pick up. I think that extra 300 pounds over the GT Mustang makes a huge difference. I have to admit I was slightly impressed with the handling of the SS. All in all though, I'll stick with the Mustang Thanks.

And the new coyote engine will soon have more upgrades than Michael Jacksons face!

Look out Chevy.

What did the Camaro have for gears???

Camaro 3850/426hp=9.04lbs per hp
11 Pony 3650/412hp=8.86lbs per hp
10 Pony 3650/315hp=11.59lbs per hp
05Pony 3650/300hp=12.17 lbs per hp

I guess by the numbers that is why I ask about the gears. I would not take a Camaro myself for the looks but that's another story
