The one thing I can't stand, whether it be Mustang, Honda, whoever... Is a 4 cylinder or V6 that TRIES to look fast... I know I have a V6, I don't make any mods to it other than my billet grille and small stuff... But when you start adding SS hoods, exhaust, etc.... That's pretty dumb, IMO.

Amen to that brother. Every chance I get whether it be a honda with a wing taller then the driver himself, or a toyota with a fart can that's probably the size of the driver's anus, I go for the thumbs down. I always hope it'll change their mind about trying to show off a VTECH with 130hp at the crank. But that never seems to and if I get back a rev or two, maybe even an attempt to catch up ..... I bring out the 500 ponies

Back onto topic...I'm not a professional photographer - technically...

You have a lot of great poses, there...The one with the 'vert up front and the coupe behind at an angle looks really professional. My only advice for you: NEVER point a camera in the general direction of the sun - It's the first rule a photographer learns...always have the sun at your back. (and if it's noon - sun right above - wait to take pictures). Other than that I say VERY NICE Mustangs, I never quite liked that generation of Mustang, but those look gorgeous - tell your friend I said so.

My first and foremost Loyalty has been and will always be GM - not just Chevy, but all of them! However - I love Ford as well, lets face it guys - they won the first round...35 years and pffffft....But I've never held the Mustang v. Camaro on as high a pedestal as hate...It's unhealthy and unfair -to everybody. It's also nonsense, there is really nothing BAD about either car...it's all in where your loyalties lie (so you make stuff up, one way or the other) .

1bad67camaro, don't take this the wrong way, but paul_k did put this thread into the general/other cars forum...so whether he hates the Camaro or not - he's proud of his car, and he has a good reason to be - like I said above, those are two gorgeous cars!

This kind of heckling puts good guys like TAG in an odd position...You want to please both parties, but find it rather difficult to do...I'm no moderator - and I recognise that - but I just want to say to EVERYBODY, from me personally, don't attack somebody who's proud of their car, with good right to be, too. Just ignore it if you can't bear their vehicle. UNLESS THEY ATTACK YOUR RIDE. Like Camarochick said...nobody bashes a Camaro around me -I'll kill 'em. I'll also kill any ricer who puts down any Muscle Car...

A very wise used car salesman once said - "It's a mystical bond between man and machine..." --- That lives true for any vehicle.

Welcome paul_k

Congrats on owning a beautiful Mustang. Nothing wrong with that.

Personally, I like the seeing the "rivalry" that seems to exist between Camaro's, Mustang's, etc. After all, if we all drove the same make, wouldn't it make life a little more boring??!

I look at it this way...you're a fellow Muscle Car enthusiast, and you're driving an American made car. The fact that it's a Mustang only "spices things up" a little.

Again. Welcome aboard. Glad to have ya' here.

Sexy looking Cobras man! Any Cobra is good in my book. I know from experience a friend of mine has a white one that runs 11's.

I'm not very biased. I Prefer GM cars. But I also like many other makes of cars including some imports (if done right).

My daily driver is a '03 Ford Focus SVT. And I'm proud to say it will outrun V6 mustangs and out turn many cars. What it lacks in power it makes up with top notch agility and brakes as good as a vete.


My toy is of course a '69 Camaro. So I have to be partial to the sexy of sexy muscle cars. But I drool all over all makes and models of cars at car shows.

I know, I know...I should have cleaned the car before I made this.

Sorry it's actually my yellow and black. I just turned my car black and white and left the panties colored. I call it SexAppeal.

However, I have some silver and black pictures for your enjoyment.
