$2,600 increase on GT in one model year? After the huge increase last year? Jesus….these pony cars are quickly getting out of range for most buyers. And what’s up with that tiny color palette? Ford acted like they were committed to Mustang going forward, but these changes make it seem like...
Wow, so now your only color options are red, white, and blue? I mean, I love America too but I want more options. I'm growing tired of boring colors. Next time I want some COLOR.
Central KY guy here. My experience has been that a convertible is a complete waste of time in this part of the country. I've had a convertible Mustang and several Jeeps. All of them had the tops up 98% of the time.
In the winter it's just too cold.
In the spring it rains too much.
In summer...
Would be really neat to know what the *real world* 0-60 and 1/4 mile times look like on those new EcoBoost cars. The magazine tests are all over the place with them.
I could end up dead wrong, but something that I really feel is that if you take a GT350, Mach 1, and a Dark Horse all from the last few years and park them in a garage and leave them there for 10 years....which will be more valuable in 2034?
I'm guessing the DH cars and the GT Premium cars will...
A lot of times I think to myself, "They don't really want to race, they just want ME to race." These people sometimes just want to see you act a fool because of the car you're in. I don't bite. I'm not paying a ticket just for someone else's amusement.
But the last line of OP's post is truth...
Yep, you basically got it. Except, mine wasn't a widebody. I had a standard body Hemi car. And it handled, rode, and steered lightyears ahead of the Mustang. It also had a usable trunk, usable back seat, and my knees didn't hit the steering wheel. Great car. I bet the widebody is like...
Fair assessment. My last V8 Challenger handled better than any Mustang I've owned. The steering was also lighter and more linear. Ride quality was better. More leg room. Just a much much better driver. The Challenger "feels" lighter, simply due to suspension, steering, and dynamics.
The...
Very interesting.
So does the DH really weigh 3,900 lbs? Because that would be 0.113 HP/LB.
An 11 year old Gen 1 Coyote car is at 0.111 HP/LB based on the dyno numbers I've seen.
No wonder people buying these '24s aren't happy with the performance.
I think when I pull the trigger I'll get...
Those numbers are always so misleading though. It's kind of like how every year they say "once again this year silver was the most popular color for vehicles in the U.S.". No, that's not true at all. It's just that the automakers BUILT more silver cars.
If EVERY Mustang sale was a special...
Hasn't been my experience. I've been with Hagerty for several years. They have never once asked for an odometer statement. And when I got t-boned in February to the tune of $9,100 they cut me a check same day and never once asked for an odometer statement.
A common theme I see throughout this thread is that people assume that Ford Motor Company wants the engine to last 300k miles just like the owner of the car does.
If only that were true....
There are numerous videos on YouTube from certified oil engineers, Tribologists, discussing WHY...
Looks like OP's car will get fixed.
My 11 year old GT Premium was t-boned 4 months ago and the estimate was $9,100 and insurance fixed it rather than totaling it. With the prices on stuff now days I see more and more wrecks being fixed.
I had a 13 year old 5.7 Challenger with 5 speed auto and 94k miles on the clock. It would lay down 5.0 second 0-60 runs consistently.
How fast is the 6.4 Scat? 4.6? 4.5 seconds? I don't think that's night and day different. Especially when you consider the Scat has 3 additional trans gears.
It's that lovely UAW quality for ya'. A missing barrel nut that holds the clutch fluid line in place? Seriously? And the result is your car catches fire and burns to the ground? This crap should never happen.
Or, you take $65k and buy one of the remaining Hellcat cars. Then you've got a car that has:
- More power
- More torque
- Awesome supercharger noises
- Rear drive/traditional powertrain layout
- Usable interior space/trunk
- Looks bad azz
- Will actually hold value in the future
- Better...
It's funny this thread is still going. Just today I was thinking to myself, "I see more new C8s on the road than I do new Mustangs." It's just now 9:00 a.m. and I've already seen two new C8 cars.
How is the C8 selling better than the S650 considering the price difference? That's wild.
Yeah if I buy a new S650 the telematics systems that report driving behavior and end up in data files that are sold to insurance companies will be the first thing I remove from the car. It's pathetic that there is ZERO privacy in the world today.
Does a K&N filter flow well? Yes. But I think one has to consider the reason there's a filter installed on engines to begin with. I mean, you could remove the filters altogether if you truly wanted maximum flow.
