Well it has happened. I sold the Mustang over the weekend. There was no need for me to have two performance cars and the Miata is simply more enjoyable to drive than the Mustang. Ended up buying a new Honda Ridgeline as a daily driver and pickup combination. Just made more sense to get rid of...

You forgot to add the proper smile ;) :lol: :p

Nice looking stable there. The 68 would be my personal favorite. Since you are LE your spouse must make a big chunk of $$$ cause I know the pay grade of cops doesn't allow for those toys.

Back in 2015 when I bought my Mustang my choice was between a manual GT with PP and an auto GT. It was a VERY tough decision because I want the Performance Package and need the automatic due to a knee injury I got racing motocross in the 70's. Ended up with an automatic and cursing Ford for not...

Scott, You might be the greatest driver in the world but you are sharing the road with all the other drivers, the majority of which are absolute garbage when it comes to driving skill. Even those with some skill get distracted by texting or talking on the phone or eating or singing along or wads...

This thread has been a learning experience for me thanks to all the replies and discussion. One thing I have to wonder about is if specific car (or truck) models attract a specific type or driving style. Specifically, does a person who decides to buy a new Mustang translate to that person...

Checked inside my filler door. It says; Gasoline E0/E15

When I saw the picture of both cars parked next to each other I thought one was yellow in poor light. Both look really great.

I run 87 because even though mine is a GT it gets driven slow and easy. After getting the car and checking out threads somebody somewhere did a direct test with factory tuning and 87 & 91 octane and figured out that I am giving up 7 HP. 428 is plenty for me. When I was making the choice on...

Here is one for you to contemplate and drool over. How about a Bullitt edition Charger? How neat that would be!!! On this side of the street sitting in the Ford showroom, a 2018 Bullitt Edition Mustang. Across the street at the Dodge dealership could be a 2018 Bullitt Edition Charger. Gotta...

If it had been a first generation Miata or stripper NB version, it would have weighed right around 2500 pounds after the swap but my 2nd generation Miata is heavier and more civilized than either of those options. Additionally, my specific Miata is a 2000 Special Edition which weighs more than...

Ditto on this.

I am on the fence on this. Back in 2015 when I ordered my new Mustang I was REALLY hoping for a Bullitt color. Since there was nothing, my car ended up being yellow as it was my favorite color after seeing every color liked up together. Now it is 3 years later and they are talking about...

Just for giggles I had the Miata weighed on a set of certified scales. 2720 pounds with a full tank of gas. Works out to about 2880 pounds with me in the car. Presuming it puts 320 to the rear wheels, that calculates to 9 pounds per HP. Not sure exactly what my particular Mustang weighs but if...
