There was a looong build up to the S550 Mustang. We all know this, and it would have been ideal had it been released in April 2014 in time for the 50th Anniversary, but I digress. Whether its a result of the long lead time or not, the S550 came to market complete (sans specialty models) Coupe...

While the Mustang has a very rigid and heavy perimeter around the occupants, all that sheet metal is just there along for the ride. Quite the opposite of cars years ago with heavy sheet metal but thin and vulnerable A, B and C posts.

Slam it on my free hand!

The irony is the S197 was the starting point for the S550 as opposed to the G6 'maro that is based on an entirely different platform from its predesessor. The pan forward of the S550 rear diff and aft of the firewall is related to the S197. You can tell this by sitting in it and how the doors...

I think the Mustang was virtually just as popular last month vs a year ago because there is still a positive buzz about the new Mustang. I also think GM overreached with the new Camaro. The 5th generation compared well with the G6 Mustang, and would have prolly seen just as many new sales...

Not sure you have actual experience to quantify earlier cars as being "pathetic". SN95 were an improvement over the Fox body as that was an improvement over the Mustang II. I realize you were making a point, however each had particular models that were ho-hum and really good. The later Fox...

Because, character. While not in the same league as the Germans in refinement, it's the way it turns and goes here on our streets makes the Mustang so fun to drive.

Ford is notorious for not painting interior steel that is not otherwise visable. Although it's unsightly, it's nothing to worry about - my 35 year old Fox-body dash structure looks just like that. It shouldn't ever degrade to the point of structrual weakness. Its not how I would do it, but...

It's a great value First of all there really is no direct comparison to any import. The performance abilities are simply not comparable for the money. That being said, you do get what you pay for in terms of certain interior materials. I mean really, a Mustang GT performs every bit as well...

Then you should have bought a 6.2L 'maro or 6.4L Hemi. PERIOD!:headbonk:

Coolest BRZ (or was it an FRS?) was LS motor swapped. I saw the car, and then heard him go through the gears. That was sweet! They are otherwise popular at my local Autox club, however as a DD street car; MEH. EB FTW as it will almost go toe to toe with V8s on the street. I have surprised...

That 5th generation trunk...with an opening the worst I have seen since a Pinto Runabout.

I first read about the vibration from the recent C&D issue comparing the GT350 to a Z51 'Vette. Since the GT350 has a two stage exhaust, part of their experience was no doubt influenced by the un-muffled exhaust rasp. I can attest to this with some of my 180 degree V8 hot-rods but its mostly...

Summer tires all year long in SW FL, and those PP P-Zeros are wearing really well.

It kinda felt like that after 5.5 years of the build LOL! The paint was done by a pro and a talented friend helped me with bodywork but i did all the rest including drive train.

Daily Driver Perfect My EB power is very torquey for my drive, and on regular fuel I average 24 mpg which is about the same as my 135. Although its not as fast as the pint sized 135, it handles better and looks and feels to me like a $75k BMW 640! Honestly if I want to threaten the world I...

No offense, but I didn't even consider the last generation Mustang due to its cheap looking interior and gnarly window moulding. Sure the new gen is not perfect, and I would be certainly more scrutinizing of it if I paid north of 50 instead of $28k. However I have not had one single issue with...

The 6R80 has a bombproof reputation, oh and the wife drives it too...

Back in the day... I was looking at a '69 Boss 302 or a brand new '88 Mustang GT. Both were around $15k, but it was never serious; for that kind of money and being newly married we needed a practical reliable car. So, the '88 it was. In hindsight, the Boss 302 would have been a good...

But you did anyway. TDI, huh? Polluter.
