actually i bought it, because i didnt want to stretch my budget for an M3.
Ive had a job for years now, and from the looks of it, i probaly make more money than most of those on this forum who drive 90's mustangs.
like i said before in my first post, im not a troll.
however, dickusmaximus decided to post against me as if i were a troll, so thats 'what i became'
and im interested... you say that my information is wrong... how?
seriously, show me proof that your right. id like to know. If you can get a mustang for the same price, without mods, as a camaro, i will cancel my order and buy a 2011 mustang. ive always liked them more anyways, but honestly, there are so many reasons not to get one it makes it hard to justify.
ps. I do have a Camaro on order. why would i make that up?
(what i didnt tell you was i used a GM discount to take it down to 32k.)
GM discount that the average car buyer will not have, so poor argument.
Oh and for the record, you can buy an '09 GT deluxe (that's the base GT) strip the options and at $27,570 (MSRP, which you can buy Mustangs for lower than MSRP, I did it 2 years ago when they were still the car to have!) + 7% sales tax = approx. $29,470. You can go buy the Roush TVS S/C (Roush includes a full 3 year warranty and flashes your ECU in this price) and the Roush stage 3
suspension from Roush for $7915 tax included (you can get them for cheaper at certain dealers, do the hw), join the Roush Club of America for $25 a year, send in those receipts to the Roush club and they'll reimburse you 10%, which will pay for labor. So $37,500 (with all taxes, all labor) gets you a Mustang with at least 510 hp which will smoke the Slomaro at the track, strip, or on the street.
$32,000 + 7% sales tax = $34240 + $3210 for your cam = $37,450. Oh you need your tune too, that's at least $500, which puts you over the Mustang. That's assuming it's you (using your "GM discount") buying the car and you do all the work yourself. But for the average Slomaro buyer, they're probably looking at close to $41,500 (using a $34,000 MSRP) for a comparable car.
What else can one put on the Mustang for an additional $4000? New pulley? New exhaust? Better rims and tires? All of the above? Any of those will put the Stang on top. It's too bad I didn't do that with my Mustang when I bought it.
Mustang >>> Camaro
Just imagine if the new 2010 Mustang has like 50 hp more and costs 3% more, still puts it at only $1000 more than the '09.
2010 Mustang >>>> 2010 Camaro
Oh I forgot to mention the whole weight issue. Yeah....lighter cars go faster than heavier cars with the same numbers. Simple physics.
