Everyone's opinions needed.agreedAs to the OP, The ls1 does kick some ass, but a mustang is a mustang, and i have 5 mustangs purely because i like mustangs. I've had f-bodys, decent cars, but even with full BMR suspension, it handled slugishly and felt wayyyy to heavy, even with the high 12's it would tick off at the track.. I still maintain that the only way to have a true performance mustang is to roll in a 5.0 mustang with a windsor swap. A 351w EFI'd fox or SN95 would probably be the equivalent of a ls1 f-body, and would easily keep up. 5.8 vs a 5.7 is the old school race, from back in the day when the damn 350 and 351's were everywhere. Many people run around hollaring how we will all be driving modulars, because its "the future of ford".. well I surely won't, as they don't do anything for me, even with the damned shelby 500's i'ved worked on and driven. Your car is definately nice, both of them, and i'd be proud to own them, but I am a ford fan of sorts, by no means a diehard since i'd take a bowtie over a mopar anyday. I am a blue oval son of a diehard chevrolet man of 30 years :hammer: go figure. I enjoyed my Z28, but what it had over a mustang didn't outweight what the mustang had on the f-body. I've always thought that GM built those cars, to purely outrun a mustang, sacrificing most common sense items and other functions just so they can stop on the 4v's for 4 years. But apparently the cars didn't last, because sales killed it. You can't say that the market was bad, or that particular type of car was having a bad year, because the mustang held steady, and continues to today. All in all i love to own my iconic cars, when someone sees it, they know its a mustang, and i never got anything like that in my z28. It was purely "is that a camaro?", and most werent a fan. :hammer:</blockquote>
