I dunno what it is, but EVERY TIME I see a Mustang, there's either a old man or obese woman in their 60's or 70's with a frown driving it..but when I see Camaro drivers, they're all younger, good looking people with a grin on their face? discuss...

Yep! Exactly my experience. A LOT of women drive Mustangs. I don't get it.

Not really true:

Wednesday evening, I'm left turning from a busy 3 lane highway onto a very unbusy side street. At the light is a hot brunette driving a Mustang. I pull up slow, she smiles, and I say "So, how do you like it?"

She starts to talk about how she always wanted a Mustang, blah blah blah...

And then I stopped her and said "NO - I meant my car!"

She wasn't amused. I made a kissy face at her and drove off.

I'm older but not that old. I have seen my share of elderly driving Camaro/Firebirds in my time. I would have to say that the Firebird was preferred by women more than any of the other two. The S197 owners are primarily middle aged men and I am willing to bet that those men are married in which both of them drive the car. Last I heard, 5th Gen owners were younger men and older men but in Canada, 50% of 5th Gen owners were women. The Mustang club here in Germany (Mighty Mustangs) have 2600 members, over 2200 of those members are married men and a large majority let their spouses drive their car. Some of the female members that do own the Mustang are beautiful... Its difficult to actually determine the ratio in which what gender buys which vehicle but it is no secret, women do love Mustangs far more than the Camaro. There are obviously more women that own the S197 than women own the 5th Gen. There are more female owned S197 Mustang than there are total 5th Gen Camaro's. There are also 3 times the amount of Mustangs owned by males than the total amount of 5th Gen Camaro's. This was a problem recognized by GM as the sales ratio was around 70% male and 30% female. GM produced a Superbowl commercial that portrayed an exciting, high speed chase in which the driver was a woman. Naturally, sales should be 50/50 but it seems that a large portion of women do not find a V8 engine attractive. This is hurting the Mustang right now as the V6 and V8 sales are split 50/50. Those would only account for single women though, married couples are typically joint owners of the vehicle.

I personally would want a car that attracts women more than men, the last thing I need is being stopped at a red light and someones manhood pressed up against my drivers side window.

and for the record, I do not allow my wife to drive my car...

Funny thread topic.

I have seen a mix of mustang drivers (old/young, happy/sad, etc), because mustangs are everywhere. But i have never seen a person driving a camaro (or even a person looking at a camaro) who isn't smiling.

woodj · 05-13-2011, 10:00 AM

I let my wife drive either one.

BackinBlackSS/RS · 05-13-2011, 10:00 AM

I have never seen an old man or an obese woman ever driving a Mustang.

nancygrl · 05-13-2011, 10:09 AM

Well I drive both, I'm a mature female neither old or overweight, and smile no matter which one of my babies I drive.
