And yes, I should have compared a '99 SS to a '99 Cobra and the Cobra will be more. Yes I realize there isn't always a huge price difference betwee the cars, I just didn't get why they were close because the Fbod seems to have much more to offer, as well as a higher MSRP. I get it now.

They charge more for mustangs because they want to make sure you make enough money to pay for all the future repairs that you will have with the car 
Joking but I usually see mustang GT's of the same yera and mileage about on par with most camaros of the same year and mileage, so basically its a pick your poison deal, whicherever you prefer.

I wish I could go into a little more detail as I took 2 years of Economics (micro/macro) but I'm at school right now so I don't have much time. Both supply and demand play a part as to what the price will be for a certain car.
Dont worry man, i know exactly what ur saying, maybe a Z06 was a bad example, but dealers may mark up a GT more than a camaro, in thier particular area because people in that area are more eped to pay more for a mustang because they dont really know the differance between the two, and just remeber seeing thier freinds mustang or remeber the red one in the commercial or the the 20 they passed on their way thier with the nice sounding exhaust.

This also seems to be in part, atleast in my area, because for every 10 dealerships i pass, thier are atleast 2 mustangs in each lot while in those same 10 dealerships i would be hard-pressed to find atleast 1 V8 powered f-bod.
holy **** dude... 1 word: spell check

but i see what your saying.... a car that comes stock with almost 90 hp more, responds much better to mods, and has a better suspension should cost more.
obviously i'm comparing a GT to a Z28 or SS. cobra's and stuff are alittle different. but then again, you cant really compare a cobra to a SS. its hard to really compare these cars, they are different in many ways. about the only thing similar is the fact that they are both "sports" cars.

In my area Camaros are alot more expensive than Mustangs. For example a 2002 Z28/SS with around 40k miles will go for 15k plus, with 15k being a good deal around here. That same car but a GT, with the same options and condition would be no more than 12k. No one around here drives Camaros, everybody and their brother drives a GT, thats one reason I want to sell mine, but even with a built motor with less than 10k miles and supercharged making 500rwhp, my car could sell at most for 17.5k, and thats stretching it.
