What would have been sick is have the car be in something like the Wolverine movie or some other show we know is wildly popular where a badass action star is ripping it up in an intense chase scene.
The 65 and 2005 were designed basically the same. The original fastback didn't extend to the end of the trunk lid.
I'd like to see a full fastbacktype design, as many modern day cars that have any visual prowess has one.
Aston, Maserati, Ferrari, jag f type, even the new Corvette's roofline...
When you say it moves upmarket between the two cars, that means $$$. "upMARKET" refers to money. That's what it means.
If you are in the "market" for something, you are looking to buy. And when something in that "market" is moved "upward" (hence upmarket) that means the price is increased...
But it's not moving from a $30k car to a $100k car.
You specifically said it is moving upmarket between M3 and Audi R8, which explicitly implies that the MSRP price will be in the $100k range. That's exactly what you implied by saying that and you are so ridiculously wrong here that it's...
The Grand Am series is no comparison to a consumer market.
You assume I associate MSRP with performance? I've already compared a Mitsu Evo to a Murcielago, so how did you swing that one?
I didn't realize that pure racing built cars and the general consumer market were the exact same thing, my...
No, they aren't. The Mustang will still be a sub $30K car at it's entry point into the market with 4 seats.
How in the world can you say that is the same class of car as A $100K Porsche and a $150k+ Audi, both mid/rear engine 2 seat cars.
It's not the same class. Period.
The ZL1? Yes, Camaro...
That's a completely separate issue from "moving upmarket between the M3 and R8."
They do NOT mean the same thing at all.
Aiming for performance numbers vs. competing or moving upmarket are completely different things.
The Lancer Evo could hang with the standard Lamborghini Murcy in the...
You originally tried to tell us the Mustang was moving upmarket between M3 and R8 (meaning the Mustang would move upmarket as $100,000 car) but that was based upon a car they had at their testing grounds which was literally 5 times its price.
They also have been testing them against Camaros...
The R8 is a mid engine exotic. It's near literally a Gallardo with a different body.
It is not a mustang competitor, nor has Ford aimed to compete with it.
I'll give you the M3, but certainly not the R8. No offense, but that's way off.
Btw, the corvette C7 msrp moved up like 4% from...
Between the M3 and the R8?
Dude, it is not.
Between $60K and $160K is the middle mark between those two.
Ford isn't building the Mustang to compete with the ZR1, Nissan GT-R, Porsche "S" series, SRT Viper, etc etc.
So, from collecting test data from different magazines, the best performance figures of the C7 are:
0-60 in 3.8
1/4 mile 12.0 @117.3 mph ( at this trap speed, it will definitely be able to run 11's stock.
1.11 lateral g (also tested a 1.08 from another test) That's seriously awesome.
60-0...
Obviously, they are not competitors or in the same class of vehicle as the Mustang.
Nor are they comparable in performance in some aspects.
Regardless of our Mustang fanboyism, do you guys like the new StingRay?
I absolutely love it. I think it's a very sexy car. Even the taillights...
Stealing intellectual property and selling it is quite illegal, as is purchasing it with the knowledge that it is something that does not rightfully belong to the seller prior to purchasing it.
Photos taken in public are fair game. Photos or diagrams leaking from some careless suppliers is...
