Ok i'm gonna play the role of the unbiased car enthusiast, and not take Ford's side since i am a Mustang owner. I'll tell ya why i own a Mustang and not an LS1 powered Camaro or WS6, because A) I cant afford another loan payment, and i hate the idea of modding something i dont "own", and B) After my first drive in a Mustang i was hooked.
On the flipside to that, i did however test drive an '02 Trans Am WS6 about a year ago, and man it hauled @ss. It would eat my 'stang, to say the least. My problem with these cars are many though. For one, i absolutely hate the engine bays in these cars ('94-02 Camaros and TAs) because they're just cluttered to death. A full length install is a nightmare on those cars. Sure Chevy parts are cheaper, and sure the LS1s make big power for little mods, but i think it's about the whole package.
BUT, lets say i had the cash to put together a '70-'73 Camaro with a built LS1, then i'd be aaaaaall over it. Then again, if i had that kind of cash i'd just put the "03 Cobra motor/trans package into my car and be done with it. Then you're just one pulley swap away from a solid 400+ to the rear wheels.
