Swirl marks are easily avoidable with proper washing techniques. I'm not a professional detailer but I use many of the same products and techniques the pros use. A dark car doesn't have to be a burden, though washing and caring for my car is just as much fun as driving it. Check out some of the...
True, I didn't mean to disrespect anyone nor ignore the positives. Lots of great comments that have led me to think about a broad spectrum of ideas and plans. Ideally I'd love to have both cars but that's not an option at this time. It'll be very difficult not to buy a Mustang though since...
Pretty lousy I need to unsubscribe from my own thread. I'm going with the RS but both are awesome cars. Thanks to those who could actually contribute something of relevance while staying on topic.
I'm not sure he's strictly referring to a drag race type of scenario. Obviously the bigger V8 will run down and pass the turbo 4 (stock vs stock) but in terms of overall handling I feel the RS will be superior. Everything about the RS is conjecture at this point but the Mustang is certainly no...
Something tells me I would be in the same boat if I went with the GT so I will hold out. The FoST isn't by any means a supercar or anything but it is still to date the car that has given me the most fun so I can only imagine what a more powerful, better handling version of that will be like...
Would you consider doing this if the numbers worked? They're two very different cars and will probably appeal to different buyers but man what a time to be in the market for a performance car.
All very well said, it's nice to see someone else out there with the same views as me. I KNOW I'm going to be tempted to buy a GT or other sports car in a few months when it's nice and warm out but you hit the nail on the head when you said AWD rocketship that can handle all weather conditions...
I don't deny the Mustang is and will always be a great sports car because that's its sole purpose. They've come a long way with the S550 in terms of refinement and handling, which is why I've put these two vehicles on top of my list. But having a car based on a family platform doesn't take...
Not really sure what you're saying. You feel the RS will just be a "spruced up" family ride? Hmm, I think many would disagree. The FiST and the FoRS aren't even on the same playing field. I know I was originally comparing the Mustang GT to the RS (in terms of which I wanted to buy) but both...
They will be limited but this will also be a car for a niche market so I doubt everyone who owns an ST will be trading up for an RS. And due to the price I feel that a lot of potential buyers will not be able to swing it. A large majority of ST owners are pretty young so it'll be a stretch for...
Been a little bit since I posted in my own thread but just want to thank everyone for all the comments (now that all the Subaru talk is gone). I have made up my mind, going with the RS. I will stick it out with the lame Cruze I have for now so I can have a good $8k or so to put down once the...
Oh I'm sure the RS will walk all over the EB and give the GT a run for its money in the power department. As great as the new Mustang is I just don't see it coming all that close to the RS in terms of handling. That isn't a slight at the Mustang at all, in fact it's a compliment because...
Pricing and availability info will be out later this year, it's looking like we won't see the RS until 2016 sometime. I'm not that patient so I will be getting something else in the meantime. I really, really want the GT350 so I'll most likely end up getting a Focus ST and save for the...
