Mustang vs Camaro. Which do you like more?

Which pony car would you rather have as your ride? There are lots of fans on either side of the fence. Where do you sit and why?

During the early 90's:

M/T: Mustang - 5.0
A/T: Camaro IROC-Z/Trans Am - 5.7

My friends have both. So I've driven both. Overall, I prefer the Mustang so long as it's not an automatic.

Why? It's a Mustang. It seems lighter and lower cost, especially the Mustang LX 5.0. You never ever take one lightly no matter how plain it looked. I also like bang for the buck and the 5.0 LX was a performance bargain. I almost bought one instead of my Laser. But, my uncle steered me to the Laser because it drove a bit better in the snow.

coupe:

Hatchback:

A lot of owners took the 5.0 off. Unless you looked back for the twin tailpipes you might think it's the base V6. Or was that a 4-cylinder for the base model??

I hope you kept some of them. To me, they're like a faithful horse. You put em out to pasture, not the glue factory.

With cars, it's the garage, not the junkyard.

*jun...
nope.not a single one..lol
i was 15-16 when i had the z28(my 2nd car).being a teenager..i pretty much ran the car to the ground..lol
the iroc..i did take care of that.modified it and kept it till it racked alot of mileage.got tired of the gas guzzling machine and sold it.
the notchback was pretty much a project car.after it was hooked up,i sold it too after a year of finishing the car and having fun with its power.

Tough decision but for costs you can't go wrong with both the Camaro and Mustang.

For Mustang, it's hard to beat those 5.0 Foxbody notchbacks, cheap as heck to mod and can get you in the 12's easily.

For the F-Bodies the 4 generation LT1/LS1 are also terrific cars to mod.

Samples of mods would be good to help the avid fans out there learn a thing or two...any pics? suggestions?
