All the Termi's are pretty much gone

[s197richie]

Some big brain must have gone around and bought em all up and put em in a bunker deep underground.

There are four on classiccars atm that aren't twisted into a pretzel or cheesily modded and they're 70-75k

Few years they'll be up there with the original 426 Hemi's and the GT500KR's

Oh well; have something like that and some bluehair T-bones you you'd lie down and die; a more run of the mill one oh well just onto the next one I suppose

The '03-'04 SVT Cobras have been in high demand for years. They’re one of only a few modern pre S550 mustangs that were legit performers. Forged internals, supercharged, manual only, and the first Mustang to have IRS. That was a big deal in the early 2000s. If you didn't get one in the 2010s you definitely missed the boat. Classics are starting to drop in value while 90s and 2000s nostalgia sportd cars and exotics are exploding. Its a changing of the guard as boomers are aging.

Seriously. See a doctor and get your meds straightened out.

They’re fun but that engine is archaic, could never even keep up with a modern N/A 5.0 coyote, but they did have their time 20 years ago.

It’s like with a lot of nostalgia cars… people remember them a little too fond

most posters on here would be appalled by the squeaks, rattles and boring interior, even “the whine” we now realize was the sound of inefficiency.

When I was 18 I told them to put me in a mental institution, but for that you have to be a ward of the state or pretty damn wealthy. Healthcare in the US of course is a business; we're the only country to have bankruptcies as a result of medical bills and I think it's somewhere around 650k annually. Anyway yeah no medication can touch what's wrong with me.

That whine has a lot of do with it for me which is why I would want

yeah it's funny how the FRPP catalog whipple is silent as kiddos no longer love that signature eaton whine and according to some things I've read are annoyed by it; tbh that would be a major fun factor of me driving the car. But in the same vein I'd sooner tool around in a 14.0 second Windsor with a cat delete and flowmasters than a 12-second Coyote with the trash-compactor exhaust note.

I'm a Boomer and I have loved those car's since brand new. Big fan of the Shaker hood.

They are bad ass cars for sure. What I meant by the statement is that most boomers are into classics. Obviously there are exceptions.

100%! I had an 03 Cobra that I bought new, and the interior makes the S650 look like a Bentley. The build quality was awful, the materials were awful, the ergonomics were awful, and half the car was from the 70s. The car still had a push/pull light switch.

They were fun cars for the time—and I liked the blower whine—but they’re simply bad cars now by modern standards. I miss my ‘15 GT more than I do the Cobra.

Kiddos are rejecting Ipad dashboards and want physical controls again

Buttons or screens⁇

The S95 interior was a cheap plastic rattle box.

No the "kiddos" aren't. Its mostly old guys pushing back against technology. And wanting physical controls is not the same as eliminating screens all together and going back to the 90s.

Touch screens require eye contact to know where to press. Safety is better when you can flip a switch or turn a dial without having to take your eye off the traffic.

See this is why I'm rejecting s650 and to a lesser extent s550 and the latter half of the s197 gen

A Mustang is supposed to be a dumb muscle car but when they designed the Coyote they tore down BMW V8's so they're not competing with what used to be the Camaro and Challenger but a more upscale car.

Up until their demise its rivals were a badass pushrod, toploader powertrain with a plastic-rubber car wrapped around it. I mean the '65 Shelby couldn't even be sold successfully to the public it was so hardcore. It's a young single person's vehicle; like a Wrangler. That's why most ppl buy one young, sell it when the kiddos come along and then grab another one 20 years down the road for nostalgia.

The Mustang was never designed as a 'dumb muscle car'.

It was born in 1964 to attract more women to the Ford brand because it was an affordable stylish car with reasonable performance. It invented the pony car.

Modern Mustangs sell because of what they are now, not what they may have been in the past. You can reject whatever you like but slagging off the S650 Mustang on an S650 Mustang forum is unlikely to get you very far!
