There are four major elements that distinguish the Z versus the Mustang, 1: American heritage, 2: sound (for the GT), 3: back seats (even though they are tiny), 4: trunk space. The later two apply to daily driving, especially when 3 or 4 passengers are required.
More safety equipment, more electronic modules, more frame reinforcements, you name it; the cars get heavier, and until composite superstructures become cheaper to build, every new model tips the scale further over. Mass market cars are not going to significantly supersede their predecessors in...
The problem I had when I ordered mine, was that, being a new series car with generally favorable options (quad exhaust, nite pony, vapor blue, A8 transmission, GT premium), the dealer I bought from was more than happy to let me walk, as I had my own financing set up and turned down the extended...
How does the EU regulate aftermarket upgrades to power? It's possible there may be a tune kit available in a few years, but the US is obviously more permissive in emissions.
Don't dealerships make most of their money from servicing? Why be so thickheaded over a $600 item and make it right, they'll more than make up for it later? I've groused about my experience, not the same as yours, but it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I'll never go back.
So the German configurator of the GT goes for around 65k euros (x 1.08 for USD), Greece around 85k euros, and Portugal around 125k; ouch. Buy in Germany I guess. Am I missing something here?
I will never own a black car. Living in Florida we have rain, bugs, and quarterly dustings of yellow pollen. I'm far too lazy to detail my car more than twice a year. I find a dark grey works wonders as an alternative.
I'd call it a smoky blue. There is metallic flake, but it's not overdone, even in bright sunlight. As others have noted, is appears less blue and more grey in low light, but so do most things. It's a beautiful color, but as suggested above, there is no way to know if it's what you expect...
To say that a Challenger handles as well as the newer Mustangs (6th and 7th gen) is hard to comprehend. As I stated in a previous post, the platform is ancient and while it was not terrible, the LX platform was ungainly compared to my '24 Mustang. Crosswinds and standing water are not nearly...
Essential Ford dealership in Stuart FL charged me $399 for "ceramic coating"; I tried to get them to remove it (and $199 for an ETCH) from the purchase price, but they refused. It was an ordered car, so as far as they were concerned, since I had my own financing and had already negotiated off...
Mmm. Not horse friendly for sure. I guess it's normal mode for you. But kudos for the consideration, given a bucking horse is no fun for the rider or passing vehicles.
I guess I have a wonky eye for esthetics compared to some others here, because I think the S650 is gorgeous, the 6th gen is a good looking car too especially compared with previous gens save the 1st, but the 2024 GT is the best look Mustang built since the '70s. I've never had trouble...
I imagine any welders out there could fashion up a patch, but they'd have to grind away the galvanized coating and so would have to treat the metal with rust resistant/epoxy based paint.
It's getting really annoying; I have half a mind to have my wife drive the car around an empty area of a parking lot or around the neighborhood while I side in the back and try to isolate the area. It's a plastic sounding, very superficial rattle. I agree that I'd rather not be without the...
