Here is a question who here is gona trade in there camaro for one of the new mustangs personally I cant stand the mustang and will never trade in my f-body for one of those. If anything it would be for the GTO now thats way better then the mustang there is way to much fuss around the new stang when the GTO is gona be way better.

 

Punctuation is your friend. Say it with me now...

To answer the question that was buried in there somewhere: no, I will not be trading in my Camaro on a new Mustang.

 

Lol.

 

Why not do a poll rather than have a bunch of posts? But to answer your question, no I won't trade in my Z for a Mustang.

 

Why even bother with a poll since the answers would be pretty obvious. I think it's safe to assume that most guys here will A) hold on to their 4th gens or B) hold out for a 5th gen since it is only a few years away.

 

I think on this board it would be fairly obvious that most poeple would choose not to get the 05 Mustang, over their current car.

But this microcasm of the autodom is small and on a national scale I think the 05 Stang will do just fine. And its boud to happen that many will migrate to the Blue Oval again. After all lots of loyal and loving 4th Gen F-body owners we're from the 5.0 camp. These are not brand loyal but prey to a more accomplished diety, power and performance. The new GT "should" be toe to toe with most the LT1-LS1 near stock F-cars. That with the updated styling and a new chassis would be worth the move.

While not my cup of tea, the 05 GT is a nice looking car and with 300hp it will be plety powerful.

 

Like a lot of people here, I'm going to wait and see how the 5th gen turns out. I'll hold onto my car for 3 more years....Heck I've put enough money into it as it is!

But....I will not rule out the Mustang when deciding on my pruchase. Nor will I rule out a GTO, Solstice/derivative, or any other similar offerings. Right now I'm confident the 5th will stack up and chances are I will get one of those.

 

I guess I can't comment since the question was asked only of Camaro owners.

LOL, seriously though...the 'bird is staying, I'll never own a Mustang. It has not occurred to me even once that I should buy a new mustang.

Quite frankly I'm already bored with the styling just from the few photos I've seen of the new Stang. I agree with folks in another thread that said it is going to age in the public's eye very rapidly.

 

Mustang GT = NO
GTO = Yes
CTSv = HELL YES (if only I had the money )

 

I'll keep my Z until I buy a used Corvette or 5th gen.

 

You got that right!

 

I also think the new Mustang will do great, but nothing with a blue oval on it is worth getting rid of my dream car for. I do think that the new Mustang is somewhat unattractive looking due to the retro approach too. I patiently await for the 5th gen.

 

This is true but it is not asking "Who will give up thier Mustang for the "new" Mustang". That would be left the Mustang boards. Also, the question is not meant to gauge the potential success of the Mustang, just to see if it has made such an impact on an F-body owner as to make them switch sides. I am interested to see if anyone does say "yes" to the question.

 

heh, sorry im not all here today its been one of those weeks so far.

Thanks SNEAKY NEIL for making the question more clear for people to understand since my punctuation isnt all here LOL

 

My current Camaro is a 1989 IROC-Z. LB9, M5, G92, decal delete.


I've got less than 10,000 original miles. It rattles like a b!tch. The interior looks like it was cobbled together by a blind UAW worker. Last year....5 of my 8 Multec injectors short circuited....leaving me stranded until a flatbed brought me home.

Trade it for an '05 Mustang? Not a chance!
