Just my personal opinion. Get the LS1. That way one more person can get their gt. And my wait will be a little shorter.

I guess I got a dud then The motor knocked, the rear-end, well, lets just say it's a joke , the head light sockets melted!!, and it drank oil. Oh, and the roof started to bubble up! Go to LS1tech search around.jfischer said:For what it's worth, my current 2002 Z28 is a much more solid car than my last two Mustangs were. Sample size is pretty small though

I'm not brand loyal by any means. The LS1 F-body cars share common defects, go to their boards and search the old posts when they were still in production. There were some very pissed off customers. I just wanted the guy to know what he might be getting into.Magius231 said:i had a 1995 Mustang before I bought my 95 T/A...car was in AWESOME shape, I couldn't find a scratch on it. The dealer couldn't keep it running for longer than 20 minutes at a time before it died and wouldn't restart for another 10 minutes. If the old posts are still on here you can find them
Any car can be a pain in the ass, its not restricted to any one brand
Yeah cause your never going to have any problems with the stang. Cars are cars they all break.351CJ said:The answer seems obvious to me. Yea a 02 LS1 T/A is faster, but its ride, shakes and rattles are worse then your 03 Stang plus its ergonomics are horrible.
Keep your 03 Mustang and save your $$ for a GT500 or other future SE Mustang with more HP.

Gloveperson said:FWIW, the 2002 Camaro was one of the top three most reliable "sporty cars" for J.D Power's three year test (1st was the Miata, 2nd Camaro, third MR2 Spyder). I would imagine the Firebird would not be far behind. Oh and yes, I would imagine the 2002 Mustang was in that category as well
