Two listings in two tabs, same budget, and my buddy had already picked. Mustang GT, obviously. Everybody knows the Mustang.
That's the whole problem. The Mustang earned its hype, and the Coyote is a gem. Nobody's arguing that. But hype has a price, and the pony crowd has been paying it for years while the Camaro SS sat one aisle over with a 6.2L LT1 making 455hp and 455 lb-ft, riding on the same Alpha platform Cadillac used for its sport sedans.
Then there's the 1LE. Magnetic Ride, Brembo six-piston fronts, an electronic limited-slip, extra cooling, and forged 20s wrapped in serious rubber. That's a track build somebody else already paid for, engineered and warrantied from the factory. The LT1 pulls hard down low, right where you actually live on the street, and the Tremec six-speed snaps into gear like it means it. Line them up on a stopwatch and the bowtie keeps showing up first.
The catch is real, so own it. Outward visibility is basically a bunker slit, the back seat is a rumor,...
