Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro

RE: Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro
I used to own a 1995 Z28....The car was fine but I went through two water pumps before 100K miles...Not to mention there is no room in the engine compartment to work on it....Looks are opinionated so I won't go there..
I bought the Mustang because I have never owned one before and the ride is more comfortable (you sit more upright). My only gripe is the seatbelts will get kinked, And every once in a while my windshield wipers will run one cycle without me even turning them on. (possible electrical problem)

RE: Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro
I wanted either a Mustang or an LS1 WS6 TA. Insurence was too high for me on the TA so I got a Mustang but I have always been a Mustang fan, well American sports car fan. I love the sound of the 4.6 though.

RE: Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro
I went with a mustang since I wanted a 2002 camaro ss or T/A WS-6 without T-tops. Practically impossible to find it seems. So I went with a Mustang. I like all of the cars, they each have their own positives and negatives associated with them, opinionated or not.

RE: Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro
I chose the mustang for several reasons:
1) I've owned several and I love it as an American icon
2) The F-bodies kept getting fuglier, and I think the Mustang is a better looking car.
3) It was not about power. I can carry my kids in the back fairly easily, but that is next to impossible with an F-body. Oh yeah, I don't like laying down to drive and peering over 8 yards of hood.
4) Did anyone look at what the prices were? For the love of God, they were about 10K more. For half of that, I could have added a KB and smoked them, if I were so inclined.

1.) More car for less money as far as options and comfort
2.) 98+ LS1 durability issues with wimpy 7.5' axle
3.) Nothing beats the look of a New Edge
4.) Camaros/TAs have hokey interiors
5.)My track record with Ford products have been very positive as far as durability
6.) Fast isnt everything. I don't have the opportunity to street race/track race the car every day, and around here anything that can take even a stock New Edge is rare.
There is a famous MF quote you will run across on this site: You can make a Mustang faster, but you can't make a Camaro look good.

RE: Why you bought a Mustang over a Camaro
I drove two hours too a dealer to buy a 2002 camaro Z28 and they happened to have my car on the lot sitting next to the camaro. My Dad and I both agreed that the mustang looked a million times cooler than the camaro! But the available aftermarket parts for the Mustang is what sold me. I figured i could have fun modding my Mustang for a couple extra thousand bucks too make it fast and have the better styling.
