I am of the same philosophy. I could care less about leather seats and all that fancy electronics, I just wanted a v8 so I purchased a GT 300A very base package.
Brembos? Actually, I am looking at better brakes, front an rear, most likely Baers, so buying the Brembos would not have been cost beneficial to me.
Electronics and Sync? I really dont need them, but I am considering a Pioneer system with DVD capability.
Leather stuff? Well, being from Texas, it gets damn hot do the leather becomes very uncomfortable, even scalding, when your *** touches it.

I really would have been happier with a $25k base GT black/black, auto though.. they're just wasn't any. Oh well.. no complaints here lol

The "adults" that do have a mustang fit in 4 categories.
1. They bought high end, Shelby GT500, fully loaded GT, or 5.0
2. They bought a low end car and modded it to the max for straight drag or road race.
3. They still have the Mustang they bought "back when they were a kid"
4. They bought there wife a base V6 or GT because that's what she wanted.
For the record, I'm 34, and I fit in category #1.
The Camaro would fall to the same categorization on that end as well. The difference would be base car, RS, SS, ZL1, etc...

The ambient lighting and shaker 1000 subs were overkill, and the 6 disc cd changer died a year later lol. The heated seats I like.

I am on 4 or 5 Mustang Forums, I have heard everything that can be said about the V6 VS V8 Debate, the 05-09 VS 10+ Debate, Have been asked why I got a V6 and not the V8. All on the net
Real life I pulled into a local Advance Auto, a Grabber Orange Shelby pulled in next to me and all he did was comment about the Grabber Blue, where I got the wheels ECT... 35 minutes later there were 4 Mustangs sitting side by side and nothing was said of the engine size except by the guy with the all stock 5.0 Fox Body, and that comment was "I think I am still the slowest here".
I normally ignore all the engine debate, although I did pop off a little in your Purist thread.
But Remember, it used to be the Small Block VS Big Block debate years ago, and the Big Block guys where always better according to them

Then there is the other side of the coin, people like me that don't really care about the V-8 but are looking for all the little bells and whistles on a car with a classic pedigree...... The Mustang is one of the few cars from my youth that are still around and kicking. I am not "Old" but I am 52 which is no longer young and there are somethings that are endearing to people of my age.... The Mustang is one of them.
