The stereotype I have most heard for mustang is girl car. Considering its original intention as a "secretary's car" that should not be a surprise. Still is a chick car. Only two people I know who drive mustangs are baristas. Older Camaros, rednecks. Newer ones, mid life crisis. |

The stereotype is that Camaro owners all have mullets. I own a 99 Z28 and I do not. However, owning that car does mean I could probably be crowned king of any trailer park I drove into. As for Mustangs, my personal stereotype is that they're cars that make people who don't know wha a truly fast car is think that they have a fast car. Every idiot with a Mustang GT and some Flowmasters thinks it's the fastest car in the world.

I'd agree with that on the 1980-2000 Mustang and the 80's to 90's Camero.
Not so much with the new ones. Yet. Right now they seem to fall into two groups, guys who wanted a fast car but couldn't afford a supercar, and fat older women. Flame suit on. |

Every new Camaro I have seen on the road was being driven by a woman.
Most of the newer Mustangs are women drivers too. |

Buy what you like. To hell with the others.
I just bought a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 yesterday. I've never owned a Mustang before, and the last domestic car I owned (not counting trucks) I bought 20 years ago. Since then all may cars have been Porsches (5, still have 2 of them) and one BMW. Traded the BMW on the Mustang. I had it at a marina this morning to take a couple pics. A jogger stopped and we had a short chat. His last car was a BMW 335 and he's interested in the new Mustang as well. I think Ford may have finally got the car to a point where it's attractive to car guys, not just the Mustang faithful. |

First gen Camaro owners are millionaires, cause buying repro parts is fucking expensive.
Camaro Goes 1967-1969 = Older Men into Crusing or racing 1970-82 = Slight redneck/slight previous 1983-92 = White trash treasure 1993-02 = Younger Kids beating the shit out of Mustangs... Older mustangs = Collecters Newer = Young wimmenz |

Older mustangs and camaros are just plain cool. Newer Mustangs (mid 90s and above) always seem to have a 20 year old fat girl driving.
Camaro = mullet. That said, I don't have a mullet and had to have a Camaro. Always been a Ford guy, and always owned pickups. Oh well, at least I kept the truck too. |

I actually like the newer ones but in my circle of car people all mustang owners are the revv your loud exhaust ALL the time and pretend your car is fast even if its not stereotype and generally we're right. If you want one buy who cares what everyone else thinks.
Around town the mustang owners i have seen are young and old girls with the slow stock cars, young guys with too loud exhaust and rarely fast, old guy who spent a shitload on the shelby package, whipple s/c and drives like a grandma. |

Yes . To me it is someone that always wanted one in high school but could not afford one . I really do still want a '72ish super duty firebird... I should have bought one while they were easy to find. I certainly never should have sold my '69 Grand Prix! I really haven't had any interest in the newer models though. Yes, there's always been a stereotype associated with camaros/firebirds, adolescent boys with mullets and so on, the older the driver the funnier it is. Mustangs are girls cars, Mopars are pretty safe though, when I was into the musclecar scene it was the really serious gearheads who drove chargers and challengers and such. |

Quoted: A friend of mine and I were joking about my desire to buy a new '11 or '12 Mustang and he told me that I was not the stereotypical person who would own one. I asked him what he meant and he smiled and told me that most owners are Rednecks and such and that the cars typically end their lives trashed and living trailer parks with paint fading and peeling. Now, is this an image thing or is it serious? I have always thought of the Mustang, Camaro, and even the Dodge offerings as the working man's fun car. Have I been wrong about this? Or are there just a lot of car snobs out there? The stereotype is for a rusted out 3rd or 2nd-gen car, not for the new ones... The biggest modern-car stereotype falls on the ricer (ex-cus-me, 'tuner') crowd.... |
