Default Mustang GT or Trans AM
So I'm currently debating on trading or selling my 2001 GT for a 2000-02 Trans AM. What are you guys opinions? I've heard the LS1 will respond better to bolt on, but which is more reliable?

Reliability is about the same for both but yes, the LS1 is a more powerful motor than the 2V 4.6L and will respond better to mods.

Both are to old to be thought of as reliable. LS1 is a much better motor than the 4.6!

Without a doubt Trans AM. You can put 5 grand in a New Edge and 3 grand in a LS1 equipped car and they would still be equal as far as performance.

It'll be hard letting go of my GT, but I know it will be worth it and not a downgrade.
