Yet another example of the astonishing quality of GM cars that NMOFGM presents us with. Too bad the Mustang doesn't have that problem. Is that so darkwingduck?

Last I heard their SS had a recall first week out for faulty battery cables, causing them to shut down at any given time. AND. Was it not one the the GM's at GM that said "It's time to kill the Camaro." and did so in 2002? Has the Mustang had problems in it's past? Yes. I'd rather buy a Mustang GT over a Camaro any day. BUY FORD!!! THEY HAVEN'T USED OUR TAX MONEY lol Holy cow NMOFGM! is the Camaro that good???

Right i mean look at the new BMW M3 GTS it doesnt need any forced induction and plus produces similar power to this piece of krap. But as i said besides what saleen did with this stang still they get my respect for their supercar though.

Oh and BTW. Being the Mustang was a success, I believe GM said "Oh look! The Mustang is a hot seller!! Maybe we should get our heads out of our a$$e$ and revive the Camaro after a 5 year hiatus. But before we sell it, lets introduce it as a concept car to tease people and wait 3 years so that the Mustang can dominate the market and we go bankrupt. Oh wait!! We remember now why we killed the Camaro in 2002!! The Mustang added to our slow sales!! Great idea. If we can't beat them, copy them." Oh and another thing. The Camaro (introduced in 1967) wouldn't have existed if not for the Mustang (introduced in 1964). So lets think about who's the real king here. @ NMOFGM – I believe Ford wised up and introduced the new mustang before GM if I recall correctly? Oh and BTW.

The current 4.6 has an incredible amount of headroom on it and easy to supercharge (there are a half dozen or so options, including one from FRPP with a full factory warranty). This Saleen will easily smoke a stock 5.0, just about the way the 5.0 will easily smoke a naturally aspirated 4.6. It's all relative.
