Not surprised they are pretty impressive cars now - quick too

I was joking. I'd rather walk.

there isn't a Ford engine out there, outside of the 5.0 with a gear driven oil pump that is not garbage

Really? I'd heard about head gasket probs in the 2.3 Focus engine, are the triples crap too?

I realise that but the new Prius is a pretty good looking car and reasonably quick too.

I'd rather drive.

Triples have a belt driven oil pump

Ecoboosts can be wet belt or chain, later ISG equipped ones are chain.

Wet belt, dry belt, chain - in all cases it is very easy to find engines that are let down by all of these.

The last two Mustangs I had were a 2008 GT 500 Shelby and a 2020 BULLITT Mustang. The Shelby was a head turner, a beast to drive but simple to operate. The 2020 BULLITT was the best of the Mustangs they produced over a 20 year time frame IMHO. It had enough technology and was in the low $50K price range on the sticker. I believe I bought mine for $47.5K. Sadly because of health reasons, I sold the BULLITT.
Last year July 2024, I bought my GT Premium. I have about 1300 miles on it. Honestly, it's a downgrade from my BULLITT other than the A-10 auto. There are way too many electrical features on the car vs. basic safety items. The dash is a definite safety hazard.
The car has enough power without tuning. My car was $56.5K. Is it worth it? Answer, NO! Ford has priced themselves out of the Mustang business. The only thing I can say is I have a unique car since there are very few on the road. I may look for other options in the Spring.

Maybe you should look at this article on car buzz. I think the 2024GT is sill a bargain.

Somebody else using evidence to make a point. That will get you nowhere on here!

Shouting at the sky about wanting a $15k basic Mustang however will get you really popular!

I’m not 100% positive because I’m not going to go back and check the previous 41 pages, but I believe it was established in this thread that, while the base GT MSRP isn’t bad relative to past Mustangs, the cost of real world builds has gone up significantly. It is genuinely possible to push a 2025 GT Premium to over 70K, which is more expensive than a 2025 Corvette. I don’t recall another time in the Mustang’s history when that’s been possible (for a GT and not a higher trim).

I think the carbuzz article has some good points if one looks at the inflation numbers and the fact that the 2024 GT Base model is way better car design with much more safety and technology compare to the 1987 GT. I would say that Ford engineering team did an amazing job on the latest model given all the environmental and safety regulations they had to meet. Also the V8 engine had tons of engineering design improvements since 1987. I know that you can get a 2025 corvette or BMW M2 at the top price end of the GT, but those cars maybe better engineered and faster, but they are "NOT THE ICONIC MUSTANG". BTW- I love the fact that the Mustang has a back seat for my Dog otherwise I might have considered buying the corvette, but the C8 has no manual tranny. ;-(

My 22 Mach 1 with the Mach 1 handling package was by far the best Mustang I’ve ever owned sadly I traded it in and bought a 19 GT 350. I like the GT 350 motor a lot but the ride of the Mach 1 was better and I figured forged internal coyote motor would last forever even if I tracked it every day. I decided to save the GT 350 because it has 2000 miles on it and I bought a 24 GT performance pack six speed with magna ride. After I installed a short throw shifter with the transmission mount bushing, and the gearbox bushing I couldn’t be happier. It reminded me of my Mach 1 that I regret selling.! I personally love my 24 six speed and we’ll probably keep it.. I don’t see many around and I feel with time the value of the car will skyrocket down the road! And as far as user interface with the single screen, once you figure it out, it’s awesome Just my opinion…..
