That's why I asked it that way. Your post made it sound like... after mods, the Mustang would be a considerable lower insurance expense than the Camaro. I'd never heard of an insurance company rating Cars differently when modified... but I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

And there's the answer. Your "motivator" is $100 bucks every 6 months. Should you really be so worried about getting into 11's if $200 bucks a year means that much to you? Just saying...

In all honesty, the choice between the Camaro and Mustang is all about bias. Your's is showing through, just as mine is. A few grand over the lifetime of a beloved piece of art... is a very minor, almost mute, point.

(And since you are speculating on parts breaking, speculate that the Ford products break 2x as often... then run the math? Jus' saying... you can never predict the future.)
