Plus the clutches are all cable style and are VERY hard to push compared to the hydraulic setups GM has been using for years. I got in the 08 to move it one day and I could not believe how much pedal effort was required to push the clutch in. Even the old Z bar setups didnt need that much.
ever heard of multiquote?

If you put a Camaro 4th gen next to a 1999 Mustang the mustang sits Higher then the camaro! When you look at someone driving a camaro/firebird all you see is there head for the most part. When you look at someone driving a 94-04 Mustang you can see pretty much the whole upper body.. I have owned a Foxbody and a SN95 Mustang and this was one of my biggest dissapointments in them. The newer mustangs 2005 and up feel lower to the ground but the 94-04 mustangs have a regular car feel to them. The Fox's just have a Escort/Tempo feel to them.

My mom had a 91 4 cyl mustang that I used from time to time. I dont think that back seat was any more useful then the fbody at all talking from experience. Hated getting in the back of that thing.

Exactly. The back seat of both cars are pretty much useless. Thats why I had a Rear seat delete kit in my 96 Mustang and have no back seats in my 02 T/A..

the flat bench in the back of the mustangs are more useful if you have kids than the cathump with two buckets.

Third gens are just ugly and slow. Its like Nick and his precious vert, just blind love.

I think my 305 is quick considering what it is. The way my 91 gta looks even though its not in great shape, is timeless and instantly recognizable. I enjoy driving the car when i come to terms with what its meant to be and what to expect from it. At the same time I can get behind the wheel of a modified newer better much faster ls1 car. I appreciate both for what they are, but I feel theres going to be more nostalgia for the 3rd gen cars despite the technology/engineering gap the 4th gen created over the years.

That was my next guess since it was similar design. I still see more of a Lambo for some reason

Each generation will have its own place in the world. Each generation is almost 'time capsule' of its time period. Looks are subjective. "fast" is subjective. Theres people that love 2nd gens and wouldn't want any other F-body. Theres people that love 3rd gens, and wouldnt have it any other way. Same for almost any car, there can be a cult following out there. What the car is powered by is minor compared to how the rest of the car works.
The 4th gen will have its proper place in history. But late 2nd gens are barely respected as a collector car, let alone a 3rd or 4th gen. It'll take some time for a 4th gen to be respected in the same fashion as a 1st or early 2nd gen.

A 2.97 and 3.23 has a better launch ratio than a 2.66 and a 3.42. Doesn't help past first gear though. Point taken.
