You remind me of my best friends family. His dad is a die-hard GM guy, always owned GM products and would never consider a Ford at all. Like his father, my best friend grew up with the same bias. His first car was a 1978 Z28, mine was a 1966 Mustang V8 coupe. Whenever I visited his home, I always got ribbed about the Ford I drove at the time. The funny thing is, by best friends younger brother, brought home a 1986 Mustang GT and loved that car. Guess what, his family did not disown him.
I think you need to buy what you like and quit worrying what anyone else thinks, even your family. They might give you a hard time, but that goes with the territory. I can tell you that, from an owners perspective, the GT500 is a great car. I still get a smile on my face every time I drive it.

It isn't even near a common problem,if a problem at all,on the Mustang so i don't know what your point is...........unless you're promoting the safety features of a Mustang.....nice going Chevy salesman. Hey,give us some of the good points of a Challenger.  |
You know, I had a 2005 Mustang GT back when the S197 models were introduced and put 25K on it and never had any issues with the car that triggered the failsafe mode. I now have 20K miles on my car and, despite an aftermarket blower and tune, I have never once had the car go into failsafe mode. However, if it ever did, I would not consider that a bad thing, as it is designed to do so for a reason. KatarHol has already mentioned why. If you think your new Camaro won't have a "limp" mode built into the processor, I think you're kidding yourself.
