  1. Do you feel arrogant with your Mustang?

    You know, it seems a bit harsh. I mean, I know I tended to drive a bit more aggressively when I got aftermarket exhaust on another car I'd owned. I'd also tended to lean a bit heavier on the throttle when I first got the rims that I currently have on my Crown Vic coupe. When I'd see them in...
  2. FREAKING DEER!!!!

    Given my own experience and my brother's experience with deer (mine against an 87 CRX HF, my brother's against a 73 Charger), I swear that deer aren't the peaceful, timid herbivores we usually think. They've got a dammed grudge! In my brother's case, the thing tried to shoulder-tackle his...
  3. 2016 Camaro and Mustang Photo Comparison

    Even though I went with the automatic, because I know it can shift better than I could ever hope to . . I still say --->> :lol::lol::lol::lol: I'll give them points for it because I do believe that making the car lighter is definitely a worthwhile endeavor, assuming major compromises don't...
  4. What cars did you cross-shop before deciding on the Mustang?

    2014 Mustang GT, 2014 Challenger SRT, 2015 Challenger Scat Pak. I test drove a 2014 Challenger R/T with the 5.7. Nice, faster than anything I'd owned before, but it was a hefty car. For the same money, the Mustang was faster. In order to get the Challenger equal to or faster than the GT, I'd...
  5. going to do it! gonna get a GT, but need help choosing a color, COMP orange, or Guard

    Yes, THIS . . this is something like what I was hoping for. I had a 1974 Dart Sport with a dark metallic green, and my mom bought her 1975 Skylark new, with a fantastic looking dark metallic green. Guard, for me, just looked . . dirty (?) I think. Like a gray with a hint of green in it under...
  6. going to do it! gonna get a GT, but need help choosing a color, COMP orange, or Guard

    x1000 Maybe I'm that vehement in my opinion because I *really* wanted a nice, deep metallic-green. But Guard, when I saw it in person, was a major let-down for me.
  7. 2016 Camaro and Mustang Photo Comparison

    Oh, can we all sort of calm down and just judge each other on which engine we got, and whether we're using an automatic or a manual transmission? :D
  8. 2016 Camaro and Mustang Photo Comparison

    When you say "back then" I start to think further back. Before the Mustang, the most powerful car I'd owned was an Olds 98. A 1972 with a 455 (7.5 liter for those who don't want to convert). Its peak was a whopping . . wait for it . . 225 net horsepower. At 3600 RPM. Great for hauling a...
  9. 2016 Camaro and Mustang Photo Comparison

    My view. It's not bad. It's not great, but it's not bad. I may like the Mustang more because I now own one. It's the first pony car I've ever had. The 2016 Camaro seems to exaggerate its lack of visibility. Maybe because the car IS slightly smaller. The wheels and wheelwells now look too...
  10. I am an automotive Rip Van Winkle.... where's the CD player??

    Great, now I'm hearing a voice in my head saying "Dude, you're SUCH an air-hole"
  11. I am an automotive Rip Van Winkle.... where's the CD player??

    Ah, thanks, found it - yeah, the way it looks, it seems like an almost natural separation between the audio controls and climate controls. I looked right at it several times before posting this question, and never noticed it!
  12. I am an automotive Rip Van Winkle.... where's the CD player??

    Ok, so, yeah. If you owned a car from the 60s, from the 70s, from the 80s . . then getting a car from the 90s or the early 2000s was still familiar. You still inserted a key or a fob into a slot to start the car. Radio layout was the same. Everything looked more incrementally evolved...
  13. Hot Blooded Hot Laps in the Shelby® GT350R Mustang

    Not the only exception. I also liked it. I'm about to start going into a "you darn kids don't know how to appreciate.." rant.
  14. Recommendations: shop to put on stripes?

    Hmm, well, I'd never planned on removing them.... i guess it depends on how much extra money it would be to determine whether or not it counts as "no object"!
  15. Recommendations: shop to put on stripes?

    I'd hope that the ones ordered from Ford that are on their accessories website would be the correct automotive vinyl!
  16. Recommendations: shop to put on stripes?

    Hmm, well, mine's going to mostly be a weekend only car, and in the garage the rest of the time. Still, if my 1974 Dart Sport, with the vinyl (presumably, I don't actually know what they were made of) factory stripes held up without issues for about 20 years (I had the car in the early 90s)...
  17. Woohoo! Got my 2015... am I the LAST one?

    No idea. Any way I can find out via my VIN? EDIT: Ah, I'm guessing 7/20/2015 based on a date that's at the very bottom of my window sticker . . next to some other jumble of letters and numbers. At least, if I were to guess, I'd guess that's the build date. EDIT2: Ok, so that's the invoice...
  18. Recommendations: shop to put on stripes?

    Ok, so I'm in the Sicklerville/Williamstown/Turnersville area of NJ, and, having just gotten my 2015 GT, I'd like a bit of striping. I'm thinking of going with the dual over-the-top stripes. I'm also considering the "Boss-like" side stripes that I've seen on one forum member's car, though I...
  19. Woohoo! Got my 2015... am I the LAST one?

    Yay, got my 2015 finally. Boo! Still a little miffed that they didn't do stripes from the factory for 2015. Also boo! Because I haven't had much chance to drive it yet. So far, though, I'm pretty giddy with it. BUT . . and this wasn't something I deliberately went for, but I'm now curious...
  20. 2014 leftovers

    Hell, just got my 2015 two days ago . . I'd consider a 2013 (I doubt any are are around still new) or a 2014 leftover V6 model to use as a driver. But not at "more than a 2015 costs" prices...
