*Note: This is in the wrong section, I know, it just seems more people view the street/strip.

What made you choose the Mustang over the Camaro? Was it just looks? Or was it something else? I'm really curious and i'm not looking to start a war/debate, just why you chose a Mustang over a Camaro. Please only reply if you're going to have serious answer, not a "Chevy Sucks Yo".

I didn't really chose the mustang over the camaro, I've never really even considered looking at a camaro for various reasons.

Mainly because the mustangs look cooler IMO. Also, I drove both (SS) and GT before buying, the SS is a much faster car... (obviously) but as for as compfiness, GT has it hands down IMO. Also, the GT being 4k cheaper did help a little.

Well personally I hate the way the Camaros look. They look like a catfish

I can tolerate them in black with some nice wheels but still. I actually wanted and was looking at LS1 T/As. Even wrecked they still were a pretty penny so I bought the GT since it was cheaper. I lost a T/A at an auction by around $300. I wish I had bought it now but I love this car too. I just like the T/As because of the LS1 obviously, but a bigger attracting factor is the fact that you can get them with T-tops

It came down to looks and exclusivity for my Cobra. when I bought it I was also looking at a 2000 Z28 which was 2k cheaper and felt faster, but wasn't as rare as the Cobra. It wasn't until I saw the Cobra with it's top down that I chose it over the Camaro.

I was looking at the camaros, but I diddnt think they were fairly priced in my area.....My family diddnt want me to get it because they said it was ugly.....I diddnt entirely fall in love with the z28s...i fell in love with the ws6s , but all the 02 ws6 are like 19 k here......I also wanted a 02 maxima but i diddnt like it. But when i drove my mustang i fell in love with it....

I wanted a 60's era muscle car. After looking for months and findng 20 thoudand dollar pieces of crap I started looking at newer models. Once I found out how much performace I could get out of a newer car and still have it a reliable comfy cruiser I changed my mind. After seeing the articles im MMFF and what the mustangs were capable of the decision was pretty easy. The comaros are pretty nice but I just liked the mustang better.

I think the Evo/STi would've been better choices for your 4 door needs

the mustang was 3k cheaper and with that extra 3 grand in mods I can walk all over camaros and alot of other stuff. Plus camaros are ugly and I hate the interior.

I just bought my car last month it came down to these 2 cars.

-2000 SS, LS1 133,000 miles.

-2002 stang V6 40,000 miles.

They were the same prince around 8500-9000, i still kinda regret not getin the LS1, sorry to say i still love camaros ive had my 91 for 3 years but in 5 years when (hopefully) the mustang still has a long life ahead of it and the camaro breaks down everyweek, like mine does now, ill knw i made the right choice

Hey, thanks for being a jackass. Dont like this thread? Don't reply. The world could use less assholes like yourself.

*Edit: Also, I'm debating which car I should buy.

I like the look of the Mustang and the Camaro/Trans Am both. The Camaro has more power out of the box. So i'm really leaning towards that, unless you guys know of a way to find a cheaper (99+) GT that i can make faster than an LS1, with less money. Oh yeah.. T-tops also make me like the f-body more.
