Would you buy a cheap new mustang over a camaro?

Still less than a 30k camaro..

you would be good up to around 450 (maybe a bit more) or so RWHP on stock internals with a Whipple HO

no

I think Radz282003 sums it up, don't you?

[SS4EVER]

Only if you're in desperation of needing to get a new car now. If you can wait then keep waiting for the Camaro. If you need a ride now, get the GT.

And driving a RWD car in the winter is doable. Just gotta drive slower, and use common sense...

Unless I had a Vette with lower ground clearance or something really nice would be the only RWD cars I wouldn't drive in the winter...

I would buy a G8 before a Mustang. The closest thing to a Mustang I'd get is a Lincoln LS, because those things are sleepers.

No. And that 19K unit is called a "loss leader".

They give one away to draw traffic into the dealership.

Notice the stock number in the ads. It's ONE unit. And it's always SOLD.

There's laws against false advertising, but just try and PROVE they didn't sell ONE for 19k. Sometimes they do actually sell one or two at a loss for the traffic.

Go to the dealer. Tell them you want the 19K GT, and watch the show begin.

This dealer had 40 of them to sell!

Yeah, but if you read the fine print, that rules out all cash purchases or non-dealer financing. That's where they'll screw you over.

However, my wife actually reminded me which car I'd truly be happy with in the long run. After all, I haven't been going on and on about a mustang for the last year (which the wife happened to mention). So my camaro is still on order.

Why is it that wives are so smart?

I was actually checking out both G8s and Malibus just for fun, but no manual transmission = no car for me.

I was thinking about that too.....

Would I rather have a cheap Mustang or a new Camaro? Well, that's like asking if I want to take Rosie O'Donnell to Burger King or Jennifer Aniston to the Bahamas. Dumb question!!!

Holy Shiite Batman!

Int. upgrade, shaker 500, alarm, they're not even strippers!

Thanks for posting that.

Original question: No comment - OK, that's freakin CHEAP! And 40 of them?

Once in a lifetime deal. Don't do it though...

The only down side is they are 2008's. The moment they roll over the curb, they are year old used cars.
