I was reading a book on Mustangs that i got from the library a couple of days ago, and if you think about it, ford has ALWAYS led performance. From the first race of Ford vs. whatever_gm_guy, Ford won with his 500cid V-twin. Shortly thereafter, ford insisted that his engineers made an affordible V-8, and they delivered, the ford flat head V-8 ruled for decades, and ANY hotrod built worth ANYTHING used one. After that there was the thunderbird during the 50's, which had little competition until the late 50's/early 60's when the Corvette first came out, and it was a piece of sh1t! Then began the era that we all know, in 1964.5 ford released the Mustang, an INSTANT hit. If you look at the competition, specifically the camaro, they are designed after the mustang, hell, the rear of a camaro (guy at my school recently got one, i first saw it from behind and thought it was a stang) it looks JUST like the stang, the tail lights and rear badging. The mustang has run the current era, and killed the camaro up until 94, when GM finally figured out that their business was going down the tubes and juiced up the camaro. Throughout the 90's, the camaro killed the mustang, but GM also makes VERY LITTLE profit off of it, like other cars that they make, and its just a shallow attmept to get buyers. I hope that ford doesn't try to make the mustang much faster, as that would increase the price, and just hold out till the camaro is gone. Even when GM does replace the camaro, they can't keep up this practice of selling cars so cheap and with such disgusting quality.
