Have you had a chance to drive a current Mustang or Camaro? How does it stack up?

I've yet to see these on the road. The Hyundai dealership I go by regularly has had a decent amount sitting out on the lot for a while now.

Seeing plenty of Camaros and '10 Mustangs though.

I haven't found a dealer here that will lend out a Camaro to a non-customer. I did drive the Mustang GT recently, and the Genesis Coupe V6 is surprisingly close to it in both power and engine note, though the Ford has a smoother ride and a nicer interior. The Hyundai feels more agile -- lighter and with quicker steering, but also not by much. They're really pretty close.

I've noticed the same trend.

Noo, we are still abosrobing the Camaro around here. We lack interest in that car. Sorry.

I think if you're any kind of a man you will break Rhys Millen's new Pike's Peak record in that thing.

No matter how much Red Bull and how many tries it takes.

Remember, it's under warranty. If it breaks, they fix it.

I see more Ferraris where I live than Camaros

Re: A week in the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe...any questions I should try to answer?

I still haven't seen a Genesis coupe on the road yet. I've seen about six 2010 Camaros, and exactly one 2010 Mustang. (also seen 3 Challengers)

Thanks for the update Brady.

Seen probably 50 '10 Mustangs, and ONE wild Camaro, although a few in captivity.

Being not nearly as sophisticated here as ptviperz peeps are down south, have seen zero Genii, and one mid 80s Ferrari Berlinetta.

Ferraris have been in production for 50 years, Camaros for less than one.

I'm not talking about the classics, there was a California in my parking lot last week.

Don't play dumb. Or are you not playing?
