Not sure how I feel about the wheels, but over all it looks pretty mean!

Looks great, just be careful with the Forgestars. I had them on my 135 and a wheel eventually dented from rough roads (didn't find it until weeks later), then when I had them repaired they cracked...

Any reason you went with the SS over the 5.0 (seeing as how you already had a Ford)?

Looks sweet can't lie I thought about one before I got my 335. Just would have put something else besides forgestars.

Well, I drove both cars stock and neither felt to fun to be honest. But I planned on modding anyways, and I knew both would change into completely different beasts. From the drivers seat the Camaro has much better road feel then the mustang in my opinion. The steering isn't as buttery to me. The handling actually feels the same when you push them both hard. As a daily driver the Camaros independent suspension is a bit nicer ride. Performance wise the 5.0 is a dyno queen and always puts down better numbers with fewer mods. Either way I love them both and if I didn't have the Camaro id be in a 5.0

Thank you everybody for the feedback!

I test drove a Camaro not too long ago. I can't really say I enjoyed it. Interior reminded me of the stereotypical American quality, steering felt alright but the steering wheel's diameter was way to large, visibility was incredibly poor as well.

Granted, I just test drove the normal version so maybe there were some key enhancements that I missed out on. Car does look decent though. But they are starting to pop up everywhere. So I fear not too long from now it'll just be a common occurrence to see one.

Congratulations though, yours' does look particularly menacing.
