I think it would be a M5 or the F-pace SVR, the F-pace just has such a great sounding exhaust and also an amazing interior especially the red on the SVR trim.
Not that im tired of mustangs its just i have had 7 now and know whatever i get next should not just be an update of what i currently have.

I think it's what we can afford. So if you could do it all over again would you get a mustang or something else? Obviously that you can afford!
This, it’s what we could afford...
what we can’t afford I think would be a bit boring lol. I don’t even look if I know I can’t afford it.

Assuming some sensible budget limitation then a 911 GT3, maybe an early 997 version

Take away the budget restraints and the options are endless, but Id have to start with a TDF, beautifully aggresive styling and a hugely powerful V12

I have had my Mustang since March 2017 and I still absolutely love it. At the time, I would not have considered anything else.

Today, I have eyes for a Mach 1 but would also consider a BMW M2 or Supra.

Money no object? The Jaguar F-Type R is my dream car.

As you can see, I have a thing for shapely Coupe's in red.

Great question. For me my choices are based on wanting a V8 engine, rear wheel drive, manual transmission and the ability to run the road course. Also, being inexpensive is great. I don't want a car that costs more than my Mustang unless the performance is much, much better.

I like the 911 but I think they are too expensive for what you get. The Cayman is too small. The 4.0 flat six is ok, but I don't think it's better than a Coyote. If a 911 cost ~$60k or less I would probably own one, but for $100k or more it's not worth it. I despise the sound of the straight sixes in BMWs, but I do really like the M2. If I didn't have the option of buying a domestic performance car with a V8, I might buy an M2. Newer Corvettes are too small inside, so they are out. I don't really like the engine or interior in the Camaro, but I do like the idea of the 1LE. If I for some reason absolutely couldn't buy a Mustang (such as Ford stopped making them) I might get a 1SS 1LE. I like the Challenger a lot, but currently I enjoy the road course too much. If I gave up the track I might get a Challenger.

I'm not interested in any current Japanese cars. No V8s. If the FRS came with a 350 hp NA V8, then I would be interested, but 100 hp? NO. I might consider a Hyundai Veloster N, but to me a front wheel drive 4 cylinder car isn't a good replacement for a RWD V8 car. I would only consider it as a replacement for the FiST, not the Mustang.

Can the answer be another Mustang? If I didn't buy my 2017 PP1, I would have loved to buy another GT350 instead. I'm interested in the new Mach 1 as well.

GT350 new slightly out of budget, use I could squeeze.

I love a cheap v8 though. I’d love a RC F, GS f, or M3 but you can only find them close to the mustang used when pricing.

Used cars are king because most of the cars we like have terrible residual. I believe all of these are less than a new Mustang GT:

Pure unadulterated track toy: Lotus Elise/Exige S
Barely livable "summer" daily driver: 3rd/4th Gen Viper
More luxury, but still fairly sporty: Cadilliac CTS-V Coupe
Most Luxury, 4 door: Mercedes E63 AMG

Of your choices? Challenger 392.

I almost bought an 05 Viper Coupe, but instead went with the Mustang instead with plans on putting a blower on it to "correct" the horsepower.

Id like to just put a shelby widebody kit and a e85 whipple setup on my 5.0



If it has to be a different car, probably a zr1, or c8 z06 whenever it comes out
