How much attention do you get with your car?

My experience is very similar to many here. Have had someone walking by on the sidewalk whip out the cell phone to take pics as I pulled out of a parking g lot. Been chased down on the freeway for a closer look and thumbs up, also had numerous
cock measuring instances from an AMG Mercedes and a few domestic muscle cars. One Challenger in particular that I see regularly leaving work who seems to be trying to show me how much better/faster he is. Some of it is unnerving since these lame ass people trying to goad me into racing on crowded public roads are asking for something bad to happen. The car definitely does not go unnoticed, both good and bad. Wouldn’t mind getting noticed by pretty women though. Haha!

I passed a girl yesterday and she had her window down and I'm fairly sure she was either taking a selfie or video of my car lol.

Looks like a 2016 Deep Impact.

I got a ton of looks, thumbs up etc when I still had the racing stripes. Once I took those off and blacked out my front and rear emblems, almost all the attention went away. Now only people who know what to look for are recognizing it, otherwise to everyone else its just a Mustang.
This. After I pulled the stripes it is just another Mustang to most people, they don't even give it a 2nd look. I'm okay with that, I don't drive it for attention.

So I'll throw in my useless $0.02! I gotta say the reactions I always get are accustomed to that of seeing some exotic car parked somewhere. People will walk by 1,000 Mustangs, Camaro's, Chargers, and the like to go bonkers over this car. I've literally seen people trip over themselves to try and take pictures and stuff. Had a guy on a bike just yesterday stalking me for miles just checking it out from every angle. I know people, and even some of us on here, will say it's still just a Mustang, but I disagree. You can park this thing in a parking lot or on a freeway full of top end exotics and she fits right in. A Mustang is still a Mustang (in that regard). All the panel gaps, interior plastic, and all the other BS people complain about...the folks going bonkers over this car DO NOT notice! Me personally...I don't get how you could ever lump this into the category of "just another Mustang". The lines are night and day; stripes or no stripes. This thing sticks out like a sore thumb. Me personally...I'm humbled that I get to own one.

My c7 got waaaay more attention than my non-R. I think it’s cause the c7 looked more exotic. Tons of c7 here in L.A., and still gets more attention. To most peeps, the gt350 is just another ā€˜Stang....which is the way I like it.

Good to read! I'm not one for attention. Just picked up my '18 in Kona. No stripes. :)

There may also be some geographical influence as well. LA is full of exotics. But my results have been the polar opposite. I get treated like an exotic and for the most part, peeps know it’s not another mustang. I don’t need the attention, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it.

The amount of kudos this car (350) gets is absolutely mind blowing.....the C7 is a beautiful ride but also being in LA, my experience is also the polar opposite.
