I wouldn't be surprised if people will think that here as well. Mustangs are an even more rare sight here.

I haven't run into anybody in NM that doesn't know it's a Mustang right away. Mustangs are pretty prevalent out here... seems like every 10th car is a Mustang of some flavor or another.

Wouldn't that be a 302 Hemi?

It's a joke...

Hemi engines are associated with Mopar.

The 350 is the venerable GM motor size.

So a 350 Hemi in my Mustang is a great assemblage of bragging rights!

EDIT: Just needed to add the V-TEC on top and it would be beyond F&F ready...

In my book - thats not a great thing (though not bad). I realized that Ford didnt create any easily visible Ford or Mustang signs (the front pony is small, the Ford sticker on the top windshield is hard to see and the rest is in the interior).

I've been stopped a few times by folks who ask what car it is. When I ask them to guess, one of the most common responses I get is Jaguar (????!!!) and Aston. I have yet to see a yellow Jag or Aston.

I also had a few people say Audi.

To be fair, the Mustang is also not a really common car out here - way more Audi's and BMWs.

Growing up lusting after American iron (I grew up abroad with posters of Vipers and Stangs on my walls) I don't have any bias against American cars as long as they are a competitive offering (which this S550 is more than) - so I remedied the situation with a side stripe with Mustang on it (from Ford).

Do you guys get your Stang confused for other cars?

Hey bud do you mind if i ask you where did you get the side vinyl decals from? I want one for my ingot silver. Thanks.

I see at least two a day here, but I'm in sunny Florida where any new car that comes out is everywhere here. Someone today honked at me to put my window down and he asked "what is that, a mustang?" I said yep it's a turbo 4, then he said "In a mustang? It sounds so different in a good way" I just said thanks and took off lol

...Could care less what others think I'm driving. Most of the people I work with are women, so I simply get the comment "Nice Car!"

I've had MANY people come up and know its a mustang. They comment how they love the new styling.

That has been my experience, no one has mistaken it for anything else. I have had people know it's a Mustang but not realize it's a new restyled model.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken (not up on Honda crap) vtec and TiVCT are very very similar tech so you can almost say it's a 5.0 vtec (it kicked in yo!)

On topic, everyone that's approached me knew exactly what it was and usually said something along the lines of "wow, they really changed it a lot, I like it!" after asking what year.

I had an old lady tell me she loved mine while checking the mail today. She proceeded to tell me about the 1971 she used to drive. I told her its never too late to get behind the wheel of another one.
