thinking about buying a 200 mustang or a 2000 camaro, im a ford guy having a hard time deciding wat to get? ive have heard the 4.6l is realy weak. i need some good reasons, like wich would be easier to work on?

I was thinking about getting me a mustang for my next sport. I want to spend 5-10k maybe more if it somthing i really like. Im not realy sure if i want to go 5.0 or 4.6. are the 4.6 a little weak, it seems like a lot of people are putting engine in there 4.6 at 100k or so. more hp the better. I like both body styles

thinking about getting a 4.6, are there any issues that i should know about? Like too much body flex, runing hot or ????

How much cash do you want to spend? A 00 Camaro Z28 has something like 310-320 horse. A 00 Mustang GT has 260. Stock for stock the Camaro is faster, but a nice one will cost more than a GT. The LS1 Camaro engine has to be removed from the bottom, I hear its no easy task. The 4.6 isn't the easiest to work on either, but I think its easier than the LS1. This is going to start a bunch of different opinions flying to be prepared. IMO, buy a nice stang and mod the crap out it! :eyepoppin
