I'd be iffy on giving my kid a car that had that much power too - Seeing as how it's a Ford. (Look up the Ford Explorer/Firestone controversy)
May as well look up the Pinto & Bronco controversy while you're at it.
Ford just doesn't fly. it's a shit company that can't get their stuff straight.
me & my mom just bought a "New" transmission from them, after sending it in 3 times, saying theres still a problem, they finally discovered there was a faulty item within the transmission. Sure - it may happen time to time..but we've spent approximately 4 or 5 weeks trying to get our car fixed.
Does that seem right to you?...
They kept blaming it on ME, because they say I'm too hard on the vehicle.
But no - it was their fault. all 4-5 weeks of it - because they couldn't get a freakin transmission in the taurus that worked.
Sure it was my fault initially for it breaking but why can the ford DEALERSHIP not receive a "perfectly good/new transmission" and install it Properly..in under 4 weeks.

And may I repeat myself by saying - they put the blame on me for the car not working (AFTER they installed the NEW transmission)

Screw ford. they'll never get any of my business throughout my lifetime.
Luckily the taurus is my mom's - and I'm not having to pay a penny for the screw ups. Sure I feel bad for wrecking the tranny but oh well shit happens. I'll know better next time. you live & learn.

My mom never had a single problem with her old Chevy Celebrity until her friend wrecked it. It was a dependable, clean, sturdy car. And everyone else I've ever known, hasn't ever had anything bad to say about Chevrolet.
Compare and contrast the issues between Ford & Chevrolet.
You'll just end up getting disappointed in ford.
The V6 camaro (supposedly) will be just as powerful as that GT if not even better (better quality material/interior/etc). and it doesn't look like your average Chevy.
Whereas the Mustang - I sware the interior looks just as cheap as my taurus.
the GT is about 300 HP...and is a few years old (the one ur referring to), by the time the 300 HP Camaro comes out, the mustang will be yesterdays news.

NOT TO MENTION - the V6 camaro will have a lot better gas mileage than the V8 GT Mustang.
Yet still be just as powerful - if not moreso.
