Nothin you couldn't use a search to find out anyway.

The 98-2002 F-bodies were reviewed by most as a powerful and fun car that still had some non-LS1 quality issues, such as ride quality, cheap and poorly laid out interior, headlight motors, ect.

i used to think the Mustang's ergonomics were better (based on the magazines) until i bought one of the same year. man, these Mustang seats sucks big time. smooshy and a non-working headrest (this is a big deal since i'm starting to get mild whiplash backpain). my TA seats are firm, comfy, and supportive. the passenger seat sucks though and so do the rears. but everything in the TA is laid out so much better, especially the armrest.

yeah the older mustangs, well even the current ones, dont have a good driving position(the newer 05+ has a wierd windshield angle) and in the older ones my head would be a 1/4" from the roof. The TA has more of a cockpit feel to it, the mustang to me felt like a lowered taurus. Really I cant see how anyone can complain about F-Bods, its the fastest Car you can get for the $...bar none. When i first looked into them I was amazed at the power, great stereo(for stock), styling unlike anything else on the road(WS6 front)
