You are right...I drive a 4 banger econobox made in Mexico

I know what it is and like the idea they didn't want or need it

Make a Firebird or Trans Am and you'll have my vote.....not the Camaro that is for sure. Nothing wrong with the Mustang....it was a rush Have driven a few Vettes and I did own a 1970 Firebird which was a fun car.

I like all muscle cars however the Camaro is one that is at the very bottom of the list

Interesting comments, Goose.

Just wondering WHY? on the Camaro?.....not arguing...just wondering. Are you going by design/style alone.

I've driven 2 out of the 3 on that list and the Camaro, by far, is the best engineered, quality (both initial and probably long term) and OVERALL performance.

Nothing but a mustang for me, the other vehicles looks good , have bigger motors , but are such heavy pigs 400-600 lbs more than a 'stang.

Plus the mustang has the largest aftermarket of goodies for it !
Look in a Jegs or summit catalog sometime & you'll see a lil bit of what i mean !


As for the '10 redesign on the stang, i like mostly everything, cept for the rear, but the aftermarket could take care of that. & i hear something supposedly better is coming to the stang in '11 !!
