mustangs arent winning any quality awards and female buyers with v6s most likely arent interested in aftermarket performance parts.i could be wrong though.
i think a mustang looks like any other car on the road.Cobras and v6s also look similar to each other unless you look at them closely.

ls1 fbodies couldve been purchased for low 20s so that wasnt much of a factor.they appeal to women who could care less how fast they are.i guess they think theyre cute.maybe they are.

i see. that makes perfect sense...
are you even awear of how many applications the LS1 engine and all its offspring have? or are you just another Mustang fanboy who decided to register so you can pester us with your ignorance?

As far as Ford goes, their biggest idiocy was releasing the mom and pop 4.6 from the towncar in the GT. They should have never released the 215 hp piece of crap in the first place.

I love the assumptions thrown around on why the mustang was a sales success and the f-bod a sales failure. They always turn out to be entertaining and some of the posts comical, lol. The most common answer (excuses actually) usually are 1)their buyers are ignorant and buy the mustang thinking it is faster. 2) all the little girls want it. 3) they only sell v6's.
Don't remember the exact figures, but i believe 63-68% of Mustang buyers were males compared to 73% or so for the camaro. But then you factor in the sheer volume and you notice that more than twice as many men bought Mustangs than Chevy sold camaros (men and women combined).
The other popular excuse is that Mustang only sells v6 models. Then you look at the numbers and you'll notice that Ford sold almost as many v8 mustangs as chevy did v6 and v8 camaro's combined.
