Like I said before what do you consider "stock" trim? I dont consider a lid, exhaust, and slicks stock(but some people do). There have been what some people would consider "stock" Mustangs in the 12's as well.

 

I hit 13.1 @ 108 w/ a muffler on my LS1. street tires etc...

2.1 60ft

 

you cant compare a 98 Gt against a 98 z28...

thats at least 20 car lengths in the 1/4 difference.

Thats as bad as comparing an EVO to a Prelude.

 

You have a point you cant really compare the 2 the mustang has out sold the camaro for a reason not to mention the mustang is much easier to work on(how long does it take to change spark plugs on a Camaro?) The Mustang is much better built when it comes to quality.

 

 

Sorry... 4.6's seem to have a serious problem... they are slow stock for stock..

14.8-15.2's at around 95mph is what i see the nearly stock ones run at BMP.... 13.2's-13.8's at around 106mph is what i see the nearly stock ls1 camaros run. By nearly stock i mean some of the mustangs and camaros had intake and or cat back.

Civics outsell camaros too.... yeah and they are slower too.
The comparision should be made between a 97 camaro vs a 98 stang. But the stang still will lose the race. Easier to work on yeah, more room in the engine bay. More reliable... I'd say its more reliable in general. But if u want reliablity, keep the civic.

 

Wanted to thank everyone for sharing your knowledge and/or experience. It really did help me to make up my mind.
I'm new to this domestic world, so I needed some help. As of right now I'm going to get a bike first (always wanted one), and then hopefully I'm going to find the one (probably LS1). But like I said, thanks again for your advice.

 

Well if we are going buy most sold we would all be driving f-150's ,that is the number one selling vehicle. Stunt man lol your funny, it's called marketing!

 

Just trying to stick up for my ride. Although I must admit the 96-98 2v motors are not the greatest thing to come from Ford.
