How many of you have Mustangs...

haha, i'll give it to you stan, that was well put, but we all have our preferences, i myself think the ls1 body style was aweome but yes they did pull the plug on it. Reduced sales because to many women were buying 6 banger stangs and not camaros. And how is it rare to see a fast camaro? where do you live? We have all the fast ones where i live and all the mustangs are turds, and thats not meant to be mean, thats the truth. My opinion is that after the 60's, both camaro and mustang have done nothing but go downhill

Well I guess we will agree to......agree.

I am, underheath it all, and old school 60's stang guy. I had a 67 coupe to start out with and I have a 68 Shleby-ized Fastback to be built eventually. I grew up around the EFI Mustangs so of course I took interest in them and know them like the back of my hand.

In all actuality the 68 will probably receive a nice blown/turbo'd 408 Windsor with EFI, just b/c that is what I "know".

I just never liked the LS1 Camaro's for some reason, their body style turned me away from them. I do love the looks of the WS6's and would love to own one someday, but they are holding their value big time putting them out of my reach at the moment.

That is one thing I love to hate, is that the V-6 Mustangs and Camaro's kept those lines around for years. Hell, it is supposed to be sports car with some muscle not a grocery getter. BUt the longer the V-6's sell well, the longer we will be able to get ahold of the V-8's.

I thknk Ford has finally taken the initiative to upgrade the Mustang all around, whereas they just stagnated and left well enough alone for the most part of the last while.

I honestly never get challeneged around here by anyone, regardless the type of car they are in. I guess I should be thankful, as I was never one for street racing anyway. It is just rare for me to find a nicely modded, souped up LS1/WS6 around here. I guess it is b/c I am somewhat in a Mustang part of the country. With all the shops around here catering to them, I guess the Camaros flocked elsewhere.

And I agree that many of the Mustangs out there are in the same league as the Camaros out here, all bark and no bite.
I can die happy never hearing a Mustang with obnoxiously loud Flowbastards and an offroad H-pipe with nothing else done to it all......

Indeed.. this has been the first COMPLETE redesign since the 1979 model year when they introduced the fox-body...
Even when they went to SN-95 in 1994, they retained much of the same...

This years, althought similar to the Lincoln LS.. is completely redesigned, and is truly well-done IMHO...

Henry would be proud..

Those are the "domestic ricers" who add body kits and stickers, then like to think that they are driving the oh-so-rare 10 second V-6 Mustang or Camaro......

I will always give a wave to a nice car regardless of the make or model, but I am also known to give the non-approving head shake to the ricers and the wanna-be racers as well. It is great when you see a thug in a ricer and just shake your head and laugh while watching their "tough" expression turn to confusion and embarassment.
Hopefully at that exact moment, they realize they should have bought a real car rather than making a grocery getter into a spectacle that noone else respects except other misguided teens.....

I have always been around and into cars, therefore I have never really had the "I am faster than everyone out there" or the "I am the **** in my newest car" mentality.
B/c someone somwhere out there is ALWAYS faster.
