*Steps up to the podium*

"Ahem"

*Spins around a chalk board with a few points scribbled in Engineering grade chicken scratch*

So, as many of you know I have decided at this time against purchasing the Camaro as a college graduation present to myself. And as such I feel as if some feel ostracized and betrayed by this move. And let me tell you, I'm in your shoes as well. After driving the car, I couldn't believe that I had done it and liked it..

Left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I mean, it wasn't as roomy as the Camaro and didn't have the EVILGURR looks that the Camaro has.. but:

-Z Plan
-Local Dealership Connections
-Family Connections to salespeople
-Track record with Ford Repair shops
-V8 for under 30K after taxes FTMFW!

These, along with the new 5.0L motor and ease at which I can rig up a Track Package on my own make the Mustang the ideal budget muscle car for myself after I leave college with an asinine amount of loan debt over my noggin.

So I will also say, in closing, that I haven't given up on the Camaro. By 2014 I hope to find a cheap 1SS to put some cash down and take home. For now, however, the Mustang seems like the logical choice for someone like myself short of BUYING AN ECONOBOX/IMPORTHYBRIDPOS!

Now which is better: Econobox Import or American Muscle? Seriously guys. Where's the civil Camaro5 that I saw when I joined last fall?
