So, look at all these good reasons to buy a Mustang!!!!

Possibly the Challenger in '09, but until we get confirmation from DCX, the Mustang looks like the way to go!

Now, when will the start selling those factory race '05 GT's for under $150k? I want one

 

The back end of the new mustang looks cheap and boring. The only thing barely hinting it's a mustang, are the poorly done 3 section tail-lights. Get rid of those lights, and it could be any car.

 

I agree with you, it's nice to have a growling V8 counterpoint to the MINI.

Have you done any mods to your Mustang? If I remember, yours is black with red interior also, tho I have the fastback. I installed Roush lowering springs, painted the calipers red -which looks great btw- and installed a Pioneer AVIC-D1 touchscreen navigation unit with XM. oh yea- I also added sequential taillights (turn signals) Next I'm planning chrome deep dish bullits I think..

 

LOL, that's exactly what came to my mind when I saw the Chrysler 300's back. The front, side and the interior are beautifully designed imo, however the taillights on the rear look almost like an after-thought. Very boring.

As for the new Camaro, I'd get one... now I have reason to keep my GM card with all its GM dollars I am not cashing in on (thanks to my MINI hahaaa).

 

GM card, forgot about that thing. And now a reason to get one!

 

Dont hold your breath. Mustangs rooms are rumouring 60 - 100K for a Shelby. Even dealers are saying .... what the market will bear.

 

5.0 EFI, Ford Al heads, E303 cam, Cobra intake, 65mm MAF and throttle body, tri-y headers, five speed, unequal A-arm front suspension, Three-link rear suspension, Koni coil overs, pan-hard bar, 17x8" wheels, dual flowmasters......

Not much came from Ford in the 60s other than the unibody! And the convertable top motor.... Oh, and the original AM radio. Only gets an oldie station, songs are the same vintage as the car....

Check the link in my signature. There are a few photos there.

But check out the resto-mods! Some are getting some serious $. I'd need to re-do the upholstery to get good money at auction. The almost white is showing it's age.....

But was a bit scitsophrinic (sp?).... Says it's soo cool that GM has to make it, but it's based on the wrong platform, GM has no cash, and it can't really be ready for production until 2010! Wonder what gas will cost then? And if GM will still be here?!?! But the 400 HP from the corvette motor sure would be sweet!

But just like GM, start a skunkworks project on a dead end platform, get everyone all hot and bothered, then take a ton of time to do anything about it.

Matt

 

HAHAHAHAHA...Best post of the thread. Love it

 

says it is on the right platform to go to production, 2008 at the earliest...
Gas will be over $3 a gal, and GM will probably still be here.... But who knows if they'll still be around when you need replacement parts!

But then, the 05 Mustang sucess will have been three years old... And a bunch of new hot hatches will have been out, and a bunch of cool performance AWD platforms as well.

You have to wonder if it's just "kiddie soccer"... Everyone running around in a disorganized clump... Sure sounds like following, not leading....

Do you think that they'd make a 6 cyl version? Would that even sell so that they can get the unit volume up?

Then it would be like owning a Delorean.
