I wonder which planet that cop was on when he made those statements? Because on Earth a car that weighs 4,000 lbs. and makes only 230 horsepower and has floaty suspension like a Cadillac is not even in the same category as a Dodge Charger. A Charger with a 5.7L engine will walk off and leave a...

Well that's sort of a tricky statement that needs context, because the tune NEEDS the CAI in order to function correctly. I put my stock intake back on with my aftermarket tune once and it was a big no go. Car wouldn't even run correctly at idle much less under load. So, saying a CAI does...

Since when? I'm close to sea level (750 feet) and I've never seen a stock A10 or M6 GT run anywhere close to 11s.

On a serious note, the new age “nannies” and tracking in these new cars does push me away a little bit. I mean, who buys a car like this with the intention of NEVER passing the speed limit or barking a tire or taking a curve with a little speed? My insurance agent offered me a “discount” if...

I don't follow. The Z ran 12.5. GTs are running what, 12.6 on a good day? My buddy's A10 GT with full bolt on mods and good tires ran 11.7 but he was milking it for everything he could get without going forced induction.

USP? Nevermind just saw the post above mine. They're going to sell Dark Horses every year from now on, right? I don't see those becoming "collectible". I do see the Mach 1 being collectible, just like the 2003/2004 iterations are still selling for ridiculous numbers compared to their...

Usually when an OE marks the base price up and the automatic trans becomes "no cost" what that actually means is in the near future the manual transmission is going away. Hopefully that's not the case here, but it sure makes sense. Would explain the price increase that hit GT and not EcoBoost...

$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.

We have new GTs and also Hellcats that have "ghost graphics" on them....you can barely tell they are cops here in KY.

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...
