When chevy said they were going to discontinue the Camaro, I've pretty much
given up on my die-hard GM fan status and applied my knowledge to a much
better topic. Mopars. :)
The Mustang outsold the Camaro and the Firebird both.... Wonder why? IMO, The
F-bodies were always the quicker of the two (except for the mid-late 80s LX
5.0 5 spds... those 87 speed density cars.... 13s stock if you can drive!
Huh... Camaro Driver.. LT-WHAT? Bye Bye! and it's all stock!), but the
Mustang (post '93, same year F-bods came out with the new 4th gen) was a much
nicer car ergonomically than the rattletrap f-bods..
I know this for a fact, I've driven both. I'm actually considering buying a
'96 Red Mustang GT 4.7L, Perf Axle, Fully loaded (and I mean fully), w/
leather, 5 spd, mach sound system (doesnt sound that bad... it actually
impressed me. Very similar to what you'd find in a Lexus SC400 w/ premium
sound system) , 10 disc changer, etc etc etc....... 50,000 highway miles as
they live way out east of anything, 100,000 mile Ford extended service plan
(they are very fair and will even work on blown cars around here. They care
about getting work done, rather than making up excuses as to not doing the
work.. That's what I call customer service! FWIW - GM won't do that, and I
don't think I even want to comment on Chrysler's service. Dodge wouldnt even
consider working on my truck once they popped the hood... lol) ... all
around, a clean, sporty car that handles great and is immaculate. Not even a
dent on her! $10,000. I figure another $5k total in Cobra R wheels (chromed
of course), lowering springs, window tint, exhaust, short throw shifter, and
a few other bolt ons to make her breathe a little bit better and I'll have a
nice, dependable ride while I'm not working on the Dak I just picked up......
The only reason I'm not out looking for a 95ish LT-1 6spd is I can't STAND
the rattles, The Optispark is a fluke, and very expensive to replace. The
engine is also a big PITA to work on, and that compression ratio doesnt leave
much to desire.... I'm more of a blower guy.
wait till you guys see this Dak when it's got the drivetrain in it......
Dahrl Clark, consider me one big (6'4", size 15 shoe) pesky threat! :-) hehe..
Oh well, enough about me. I'm still going through MoPar Withdrawls.... the
cold sweats will not stop, and I'm shaking like a leaf..... help must be on
the way !
