Cars that share the 05+ Mustang look
#11
Plus you can lump the Mustangs into that group too I see at least 5+ s197s a day and even more New Edge and older.
Anyway OP I think the Mustang and Charger are going to be your best bet. Maybe an older Camaro or Firebird. I'm sure the Charger is a fun car too. Might want to start test driving some different options. You may end up with a car you never thought you would. Good luck.

I believe that mustangs are the only sports car in america that hasnt ever stopped production. I believe vettes were done for only one year but not sure why nor am I really sure about this. Yea I agree with others the challenger is big but freakin awesome to look at. In indiana they are not all that popular. But mustangs are every where

My mother just sold her Camry and ordered a new Mustang (we had rented one on vacation back in March and she decided she had to have one)
I'll be back to having the oldest car in the family
BUT! Since I'm getting a supercharger for Christmas, it won't be the least powerful!

I think the mustang is the way to go though! You can find an s197 for 10k, possibly even a GT if you look enough.

I am literally to the point where I have convinced my parents that when I leave for college my mom should sell her Pilot (no need to have that much room) and buy a 78 T/A. That's gotta count for something, right? You should see her in that Pilot though. She takes corners harder then I do in my car! I also have her considering a new Challenger, though she has bad blood with Dodge, so it will be a hard sell.

The new versions of all three ponycars are more thick-bodied than their 1960's ancestors and have blurred the distinction between pony and muscle. I'm not sure that it's all for the better, since there should be a place for more graceful styling.
The following video that's posted in another current thread here clearly shows the difference between the old and the new with respect to styling execution.
