As the old pretibial high states one has to pay in order to play. We complain about not getting the same high tech interior and or same suspension as the other sports cars have had now for years. And now we are complaining about the price to play in the same realm as BMW, corvette just to name a...
Ha! way over priced for what you get and just like all new cars after three years you would be lucky to get a third of what you paid on a trade. And most that do have the cash to buy this as used from an individual won't turn loose the cash for the Beemer.
Now your stuck with either keeping...
If there is a change in the size of the v-6 to a smaller but much higher HP version then yes I'm all for the 3.5 eco-boost V-6, and welcome both single and twin turbocharged 3.5 liter engine combo's, if that's the future of smaller more powerful mills. Seems to be the way things are shaping up...
After test driving a v-6 with a stick and automatic, I fell in love with the v-6 that by the way is faster than my 1987 LX hatch back 5.0 liter Mustang. And by a good amount too. 0-60 6.3 and 1/4th mile time of 14.3 at 99 mph.
Compared to the 2014 v-6 which got 5.9 0-60 time and 14.1 @...
Complaints about the price of a new base Mustang is already a prime issue with some. Interior and ride feel are two of the most expensive packages you can order other than the 5.0 liter engine retail 10 large over two less cylinders and less performance besides.
Henry that new for Mustang...
Thought's and opinions of others is a distraction to the purpose, one would do well to watch his on back door, rather than try to enter another's front door. Allow the cards to fall where they may, a fox does well to smell his on hole, rather than leap off into another.
Speaking ones mind is...
He may have gotten his $$$ the old fashion way, "ancestral inheritance" most all of us will inherit some money or probity a home and or all three. At one time in there life, unless we were bad and got cut out of all the wills. Which can be protested usually to your favor by holes in the law...
Yes the eco-boost will get better gas mileage than the v-6 but, who is going to drive the turbocharged mill and get gas mileage? A turbo car is really hard to keep your foot out of the gas.
Mandatory 93 octane gas or the knock sensor will pull all the timing out of the ignition and kill all the...
The love of a rumbling v-8 but a hotdog pocket book
Give us a small light car with a big HP small light engine that gets 35 or more highway MPG. It will out maneuver anything that weighs more than a four cylinder running through twisty cannons. One would be far a head to get the eco-boost over...
A totally different buying public than there once was. And no there not Mustang people, that are loyal to the Mustang community like we are. Those buyers don't care what makes it go, or anything at all about there Mustang.
Same thing goes when they trade it in a another car? who knows what...
Todays young generation of men and women, could care less about how many cylinders a car has. Much less what it sounds like, It's all about how fast it runs and what it look's like.
That's a'ok in my eye's, but knowing the end of the v-8 engines coming sooner than I could have ever believed...
The flat crank is not new but new for production performance mills. That sweet GT 350 and the Ford racing performance catalogue, one only need to add HP and take a way dead weight. This will make one feel cocky and ready for all else to step a side when your bad boy 350 comes rolling up on them...
That's true the don't care how it gets there or how many cylinders is has or has not to get there. V-6 and v-8 are already running on the ragged edge of burning exhaust valve from to lean a mixture.
I do see one orange life savor for both the eight and the six. And that's dropping cylinders...
I do like reading about the races of who the king of the track and drag strip and so forth. Wish I had the funds to be a part of the fun there enjoying though. If the prices for the 2014 5.0 liter go down to like $26,000 range I may just grab a 2014.
Hard decision though, a very hard...
Yes spot on, It's "Dave Pericak" that said the future is the four cylinder, mandated by Government regulations in the near future. Thanks for the information on Dave Paricak
Again what will be the determining factor will be how the four runs, drives, breaks, verses the price of this package...
I cannot for the life of me remember the engineer from Ford that said the future of engines coming are the four cylinder engines GOV. mandated. This has me wondering how soon and will all the cars and trucks be affected.
If anyone knows the in's and out's om this hear say please post it so...
Gas mileage, having your cake and eating it too.
I'm happy for you and your smart decision you made, If I could afford a 5.0 liter Mustang. I could not drive it everyday. The sports car would sit in my garage till the weekend and maybe go out and curse the city some.
Way to much investment for...
Agreed with the light on the paint looks like the optional orange for sure. Where you able to at least sit in the cabin? If so do you actually sit in the car?? or are you still sitting on top of the car? I hope the rumors are true with sit in the car.
That's In my eyes, what makes a Mustang...
If my oil even starts to change colors, or evaporates to soon I not only will change the oil but I would change the brand of oil . Back in the mid eighty's I had just finished building a high horse power 460 Henry engine. The oil I was using would go a way from heat cycles through the mill.
At...
