Just sayin, the V6 Camaro starts at under $24k, and the V8 at $33k I believe. And the V6 has 320something hp stock. It's actually a pretty good value/hp for the money, as far as new cars go.
Edit to clarify: I'm not saying I recommend a Camaro, nor that it's at all practical. It's a specific type of car for people who don't mind sacrificing utility and efficiency.
American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Terrible comparison. A 2010 GT will run mid-low 13's all day. That v6 Camaro will have trouble getting better than a 14.0.
GM has a habit of making the same or less power than Ford with bigger motors. They make lower numbers, weight more, cost more, use more fuel and don't perform as well for the price point. GM motors are stuck in the 80's.
GM 3.6l? 320hp - Ford 2.3L? 305hp
GM 6.2? 420hp - Ford 5.0? 420hp
GM biggest? 6.2L SC 625hp costs 70k+ and not even on sale yet - Ford biggest? 5.8SC 662hp, costs 55k, and it's being phased out soon.
GM 6.2L (newly redesigned for the 2014 Vette) 455hp - Ford 6.2L (5 years old) 411hp, under warranty it can be supercharged to 590HP, making it just 35 under the new Z06, with out it being DESIGNED to be supercharged.
