Hi `Mike,
Strong Competition 4-Sure : )
Are they both his ?
I do like the Camaro, but I also like the Mustang.
You have to be proud of your brother to make it through the
Air Force Academy, and I wish him the best of luck on
active duty. WoW pilot training..I envy him.
I would love to pilot his Mustang, or Camaro.
What engines are in them ?
Has he ever timed them @ the Track ?
What has he done to them ?
Thanks for sharing/posting...Post more : )

He just got the camaro a few days ago, it has the 454 stroker in it. His stang has the 4.8 ( i think) v8. as you can see the CAI plus SLP loudmouth exhaust, different cams, smaller pulley, and bored larger. past that, i much cant remember. He told me a while ago all the mods, those are the ones I can kinda remember.

the big answer? no. Im not amazing with a manual, and those are two checks that my ego cant cash. Id be afraid... plus, he babies the mustang (i dont wanna know how awesome the camaro will be. we all know chevy is better without saying). heres the question for you guys, if they were yours, what would you do differently?



(other than sell them and buy a monte. )

Well that's an easy choice...
I'd sell the 'Stang and dump the money into that Camaro or buy a brand new SS in a few months.

I like them both. Not a big fan of the projector style head lights on the Stang though. I had an 05 Mustang V-6 4.0. I think the GT has a 4.6 L engine.

Not a fan of Rustangs, either, altho Ive owned 2, a 67 hardtop, and a 66 fastback GT. I'll take the fleet of GMs that we have any day over any other brand!
Now the Camaro, NOW were talkin! Only one Ive owned was an 84 Z28, 5.0 HO 5 speed. It needed to be restored BAD! but it was a strong runner!
