The appropriate angle in my opinion for the Mustang with a V8 and a manual is the finality of both features. Manual transmissions and V8s are destined for the scrap bin. I think an argument could be made that you want to experience the quintessential American muscle car in its last and final...
Agree and this ^^^ is very good advice...I learned this lesson very painfully with my current car. Don't hesitate to take it to another dealer if they don't solve your issues.
What does having a warranty do with his comments? He posted issues he is having to see if others might be noticing the same thing (hence the dealers "it's a Mustang comment")...
I make 2 to 3 trips to Europe each year with my job. The price of gas and taxes will limit the sales of the GT. Any V8 regardless of manufacturer is an absolute luxury. Most people drive tiny cars that maximize fuel usage. You see more smart cars and Ford Fiesta size of cars than anything. You...
Agree...I cant even count the time I've seen people slap on some coil overs and a new set of tires and have their track/auto cross times increase drastically. I've had many conversations in which the drive says "what went wrong and why" after dumping 5-7k into the suspension/tires.
The...
I will be uber surprised if a 55-60k GT350 can put away a 75k Z28. 15 to 20k buys a whole lot of go fast parts....
If the GT350 is actually a Z28 competitor I see it coming in around 65-70k. Im still hoping the GT350 is a Boss replacement that comes in between 50-55k.
^^^This! I've said it before - Manufacturers dont just price something out of thin air. Its based upon cost plus a profit margin. The 2 series, 3 series and 4 series all have superior quality of interiors. They are spartan and boring but there is serious quality in the materials that are used...
There are a select few that want an extremely focused track car (including the 1le). Hence the limited numbers production numbers of the 1LE, GT PP, GT350, Z28. You are in a 1LE vs PP thread, however. The audience in this thread is directly interested in a high performance lower volume models...
I think its cool to see the comparison. Comparing a car that a company's HALO sports car with an entry price of 55k vs a multipurpose pony car that starts at 23k with a V6 from a performance perspective is probably a bridge to far. Even if you just use the chassis as a point of reference the...
I agree with everything you said so we find common ground, which is cool..I understand what it is like to have product you love and have them go in a different direction.
Absolutely! Wish I could get a nutty 4 door that would be in the same league as the GT350 or 1le Camaro. I can but it will cost me 20k-30k more (M3). The M3 is ideal for me but I just won't allow myself to swing the 70-80k it would take. I have no issues sacrificing comfort and responsibility...
Weren't you the guy that said you owned terminators in the past and that you were buying the GT pp and would likely pick up the GT350 in a few years? Werent you the guy that said you would wait for the GT350 if it wasnt for a lease end or a wreck or something? Weren't you also looking at zl1s...
