The 2002 is actually rated 5hp more by the factory (no big Deal) but my 99 Can run Circles around the 02. It is a lot quicker.
I drove a 2010 2SS/6speed last week ( Like I owned it) Friend of mines car and I must
say I was a little disappointed.
I have a lot of camaro's street rods etc so I know how to drive them hard just wasn't as fast as I though it would be. I think my 99 could take it.
One variable worth mentioning is...The LS engines seem to really run alot better with 10,000 or so miles actually the more the better so far. My 99 has 15,000 miles ,convert less than 1000 !
2SS Less than 500.
I was in the same thought process... my 99 faster why buy new one.
Well,
First off...The 2010 cars are really a much better built car and it is very noticable while driving it. 4th Gen are like Tin Cans (or Should I say mustangs, Not to affend anyone)
a lot of road noise and such....Not so in 2010
So....What did I do about this....
I kept my order and placed an order for a Magnusun Supercharger and full exhaust (Headers back...Borla) and a GMPP Airbox.
Problem solved. Best of both worlds and still 10 grand cheaper than a shelby mustang. More RWHP and a much better ride!

Heh you must be talking about Mustangs from the 60's then. My 03/04 Term did not have a lot of road noise, and my 08 truly does not have any road noise. So just what year are you actually talking about here ?
I am also curious about how a 10k S/C+headers+exhaust+CIA=cheaper than GT500 ? Even if you get the Camaro @ 32k Tax and title included btw, you would still end up about even with GT500. If you go to Ford's site, you can build out a GT002010 for 47k. With what your talking about, you will ring in the same price. And that's if you install it yourself....never mind the warranty just went boom.
But I know what your trying to say. NP. To each their own, just trying to keep it real. No way your coming out 10 grand cheaper, unless you have some secret super hook up nobody else knows about..
