Pricing for the GT350 and 1LE won't even be in the same stratosphere.
The GT-PP is in direct competition with the Camaro SS-1LE. It's a choice between a better track car or a better daily driver.
Lots of great things to say about the Mustang but looks-wise it's far from my favorite. The Camaro 1LE and Challenger scream "I'm going to kick your ass". The '15 Mustang screams "I'm a sporty Euro car."
It doesn't look bad per say, but the design just inspires no emotion in me.
I'm going with a SP because I want the shaker hood, though I'm keeping my mind open for the SRT.
I don't like the exterior design of the GT (from pictures), though my wife and I are going to look at some in person tomorrow, and Challengers. The 1LE and Challenger both have mean, aggressive...
Great post, and so true about Challengertalk. I couldn't begin to tell you about how much vitriol I've had flung at me on that site for giving honest assessments about Challengers and the competition. And I don't even bash the car. I'm even strongly leaning toward buying a Scat Pack. But when I...
Unfortunately I'm not wow'd by the new Mustang. I was never super excited by the new design, and I was expecting more than a 15 horsepower bump, and I was also expecting a hands-down Camaro beater on the track.
That said, it made leaps and bounds in areas that were main criticisms, especially...
I just watched the video from the OP for the first time. I was disappointed by the results, being still bested by the 1LE in overall performance.
The thing that gets me is how much Dave Pericak kept making boastful statements about the Mustang handling prowess.

I think you're being melodramatic.
Dealers who markup cars over MSRP run the risk of driving away customers and possibly bad PR. Apparently the reward can outweigh the risk because a lot of dealers do it, but that's just a side note right now.
Having the right to markup your cars does not...
Of course it's okay for them to criticize the consumer. Nobody said otherwise. Of course, the seller does have to worry things like reputation but it is his or her right.
That would be an outstanding argument if it weren't for the fact that it is completely strawman.
I acknowledge dealers have a right to markup their vehicles. Do you acknowledge consumers have a right to criticize them for it?
No confusion, grimace. Just discussing the theoretical horsepower at 8000 RPM, which obviously isn't reality. Truth be told I seriously doubt it's going to be 600 hp. And honestly I hope it's not that high because I want it to be priced along the lines of the Boss 302.
I'm leaning toward a Scat...
There are plenty of dealerships who have a policy of not adding a "market adjustment" to their cars, and somehow they manage to stay open.
Nobody, including myself, have said dealerships should not be allowed to sell cars for a profit (setting aside the fact that most dealerships make more...
I think you'll be hard pressed to find any dealer who doesn't at some point in the buying process mislead unsavvy buyers in some way. I'm sure the truly great dealers exist, but they're exception and not the rule.
Maybe I'm just cynical.

Are you kidding? There are a LOT of corrupt, dishonest or otherwise misleading dealers. I'm not going to broad brush every single one of them, but let's be real here.
How many of them give you a very professional looking "recommended service" manual, when in fact it includes all kinds of...
