im shopping for a new car, and the decision is between a 1999-2001 camaro z-28, or a 2000-2002 mustang gt. from yall's experience which one do you think is a better car? ive personally owned a 1996 gt w/ 4.6l, and a 1994 z-28 lt1. i liked the z28 better. it had alot more power, and the tranny was alot stronger. have n e of yall had a bad experience w/ any one of the above stated cars? im leaning towards the Z. i have heard good things about the ls1, and i know from experience that the t-56 6-spd tranny is tough. i also know from experience that fords have weak front ends, and the t-45 5spd. w/ od tranny is not the strongest thing around. if i were to go with a gt, i think i might swing the auto route, and get a 3.73 gear w/ 2500 stall, and posi diff... all suggestions will be heard, respected, and appreciated.

thnx,
trey

I'd take the stang..........better to juice up......

the camaros are faster with the ls1's but the mustangs are much better cars tho----like the interior and stuff. id prob go the mustang tho---not that hard to make em run 12's

You can even make'em run in the 10's........heh

all motor 12's is tough w/ stang, i am not interested in juice... still thinkin about the decision... z28 will hold value alot better. been reading reviews, and from what i gather so far... the ls1 is a more dependable motor. and i already know the t-56 tranny blows the for t-45 out of the water. but i do like the 4.6 motor, but very costly to get power?
i dunno.. preciate opinions

You can get those models cheap...........and there's a ton of parts availible to EASILY make that a 10 sec car...................and that's ALL MOTOR!!!!

I say go with the mustang. I just dont like late model Cameros. Probably because all the people i know who drove them were complete ****s.

personally i think the old fox bodies are beaner lookn.. and ugly... would never get one unless biulding a cheap strip vehicle.
highperf... are u talkin about bolt-ons? i dont wanna do any motor mods.. no head-work, or cams, just bolt ons... are u sure these thing get into the 10's w/o heavy motor modifications? ive seen these things w/ fipk's, rear-end gears, exhaust systems and other boltons, barely break into 13's. but ive seen z's w/ boltons, rear end gears, and exhaust systems. break into the mid-high 12's
i know it sounds like im not takin yalls opinions, but i am... im just tryin to debate a lil bit ... so i can drain more info outta all of yall, and im still real hesitant w/ ford front ends, and their 5spd. tranny's.... every ford ive ever had.. the front end went to sh1t... and my mustang gt i used to have went through 2 tranny rebiulds. also have a good friend who has a '95 gt w/ a 5.0 and used to have a t-5 tranny, but he blew that one, so he bought a brand new t-45 and did a swap. that only got about 10,000miles before it started grindin into gears... so he had to get it rebiult... not once but twice! i will admit though... my gt did look good! and interior was very comfortable w/ blk leather, and fully loaded.. the first car i ever owned was a '93 z-28 lt1.. and gotta admit... that thing was so much more powerful than my gt... and i never had a stitch of trouble with it.
