Good deal. Now get yourself a proper muscle car. A ZL1 with manual transmission would fit the bill nicely!

We need to appreciate the Mustang if there was no Mustang there would have never been a Camaro I have both ..a 2014 camaro and 2015 mustang..im a car guy and have a,few classics as,well...my chevelle and 67 Pontiac.. the mustang is my everyday driver ..i have over 52000miles on in now.. I've literally had no issues.. it's a performance pack and I lowered it and a few other suspension mods.. the car hugs and handles the roads excellent..really enjoy both of them

Can that be said both for the 60's and the aughties? It was 3-5 years ahead of the Camaro twice - if you consider the later "retro" Mustang styling, right?

I'll still stick with my old saying pree 1990s ford good for the most part. After that ugggg what a mess. Only thing that kept me from owning a Chevy was they killed the Camaro off and I was so upset I wrote Chevy off tell I road in a new Camaro!

I WILL NEVER EVER OWN ANOTHER FORD..never another mustang that's for sure.

never loved a car as much as i loved my 2013 camaro...so foolish selling it to buy a pos ford.
only one good thing about the pp mustang is the brakes..that's it..everything else is utter junk..

the s550 is just a little better than the s197..polished turd springs to mind..the bouncing suspension is an utter joke..mine had the pp aswell..felt sea sick everytime i went out in it.
glad the junk is sold..slept like a baby last night seeing the back of it..

sure the s550 will go in motoring history as the biggest lemon ever...sure of that. not even that nice to look at is it? had thumbs up 10 times a day in me camaro..never happened in the mustang.
hopefully i'll be back in a camaro next year..probably another 2013 in yellow

And owning that Mustang for the short time he did really gives him a stressed out look.....or is it just me?

Or the Chevy Vega
I actually like those 2 cars

Well over here with the Camaros vacation from 4th to 5th gen on the street anyway mustangs are like opinions......and everyone has one so they are not rare, and are cheap and passed on, sure they have lots of things to worry about like your Sig pic being the drivers face in at least 50 mustangs in my home town but hey.... If you get one with a clutch I can attest the monster lt1s is great as is the MGW short throw for quality and feel if you build it. Read truedelta.com website for some reliability comparisons between cars before you buy, and yes low end grunt is not the coyotes ..now a stoked LS that's a different animal I can attest, you don't hear of 5.0s built that much or stroked due to costs....but they do have nice exhaust usually to attract new smucks.

That just tells me what you should have known about yourself going in - that an engine with its power concentrated higher up in the rpms doesn't suit you. Buying it in automatic might have been a clue all by itself.

Be glad you didn't pick a GT350.

Excellent comeback to that blowhard in Sweden. I dont take kindly to people trashing other makes, especially Mustang's, Camaro's and Challenger's.

Ford has been right there since 1964 1/2 with the Mustang with no interruptions like GM did with the Camaro and both still share the sales lead in Muscle Cars so BOTH companies are doing something right.

Ive owned both Mustang's and Camaro's and both have their upside and downside, its not a perfect world...
