What JD is trying to say is, buy the trans am. It will be cheaper to reach the 400 rwhp mark and will consistently outrunmost 2valve mustangs.

ya half the engine is under the dash. to work on the back of the engine you have to take off the intake manifold!

And why would you be working on the back of the engine? Whens the last time you had a header install quote of $175 for your GT? I assure you its about the same as far as difficulty goes. When I changed the plugs on my stang, it was a complete pain in the ***. Its the same way on an ls1.

Plus, you have to take some of the plugs out to do a header install, so you might as well swap them then. Kill two birds with one stone.
About the only actual difference is the height of the car, the vision, and the interior. A mustang sits higher, you can see better, and has a nicer interior. However, most people agree that the stang needs to be lowered so that points moot. So you are really only left with the vision aspect and long dash, and the less nice interior.

Yes but when do you work on the back half of the engine? Changing the plugs? Thats about the only time...Ill gladly take the extra 50rwhp for an extra hour of labor on changing plugs which are done about once every 50k miles...
