I have learned so much from reading this forum and all of you have awesome looking cars. So here is my story and will attempt to keep it short. In August I purchased a 2014 Mustang GT Track Pack as I have always been a Ford guy, having owned several early 90 5.0's and a 67 Fairlane for 20 years . At the time of my Mustang purchase I knew nothing about the Camaro 1LE. I do like the Mustang for the most part, but there are things I do not like, such as the transmission MT-82, the shifter is totally useless, the car feels really floaty even with the track pack, it sits like a 4 x4 and yes I can lower it and put Koni's all around to help that. Because Ford likes multiple cams, a cam swap is upwards of $1500 just for the cams and really they do not pick up that much HP on that motor. Ford's solution is getting their Ford racing tune which changes the fuel curve and provides a "cammed idle". Yea, I am still old school, If I want the choppy idle, I want it done with good old lift, duration, and overlap. Quite frankly after seeing all of your 1LE's especailly in Black and Hot Red, and hearing those who have cammed theirs (wicked sounding BTW), my Stang feels underwhelming and is not nearly as nasty looking even in black. I don't see a ton of SS Camaros, mostly 6 cylinders, around here so I never realized just how bad ass they look. Look my situation is totally my fault, I should have at least driven the Camaro before making such a large purchase. My 12 year old son wanted me to go check one out, but I was bullheaded because all I have ever known are Fords. That is water under the bridge. So would I be totally off my rocker to go actually test drive a 1LE (not that any dealer around here has one currently) and suppose I really like it which based on every review and video I have watched I no doubt will (pushrod motor, single changeable cam, Tremec trans, Alcantara wheel, awesome suspension, 4 wheel Bembos, the list goes on). At that point do I take the financial bath to get into the 1LE? The way I look at it I am in for at least 4-5k worth of suspension, wheels/tires, real shifter (MGW) and a tune for the Mustang to get it the way I want it. I am wondering if that 5k would be better spent on trying to get into a 1LE. I bought the Mustang for the right money which will help a little on the beating I will take by trading it and I do have it paid off. I think in my mind, the max I could justify in my mind and maybe, just maybe, my wallet would be a 8-10k addition plus my car. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I just saw the awesome deal that Chevy is having on 2014 leftovers but I do not think there is single leftover 1LE in the country so it will have to be a 2015. Thanks again for your opinion and keep up the great work on this forum and your awesome rides!!
