  1. NEVER Factory order a Mustang

    It is all a crap shoot men. I worked in the old Ford Assembly in St. Louis. Special order or dealer inventory I drove cars off the line and respected the customers who would own each one. My less than brilliant colleagues did not share my sense of ISO quality and they did the other parts you do...
  2. Q1 2019 sales

    Using Ace's numbers and data from: http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-data/ford/ford-mustang/ for Mustang and Challenger monthly numbers. I built this monthly chart for the quarter. __________________JAN_________FEB______MAR______Total Camaro_________4027_______4028_____4028______12083 (All...
  3. Ford will offer a third engine (more powerful 2.3L EcoBoost) to 2020 Mustang lineup

    True, but you can also desire a Mustang with a NA V6.
  4. Ford will offer a third engine (more powerful 2.3L EcoBoost) to 2020 Mustang lineup

    There is a song "I started out with nothing and still have most of it left" I started out with little, my first car was towed home. Back in the 60s 70s overheating was always a problem. Today auto technology is off the charts better, but, I shy from turbo and super chargers only because I worry...
  5. Why the heck did you buy a V6 S550?

    Right on every point. The fuel economy of the V6 is understated. At 65 mph it is 32+ mpg. I have rung 440 miles out of a tank with 35 mi. DTE at the pump. My record DTE number after fill is 500 mi. That is what it read. I am looking forward to the tune but decided to do that last. I am paying...
  6. Why the heck did you buy a V6 S550?

    I bought a 2017 V6 Mustang because it was my #1 choice. $24K with 6spd AT. There has never been a better bang for buck value. I can afford the coyote but I did not want another V8 manual. And if I go V8 I only go manual. The V6 is underrated and overlooked. No it won't beat an ss, 5.0, hellcat...
  7. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    Lately, vehicles I see at a distance that look like Fords have a Chevy bow tie when close. Is it just me? 10 years ago Fords and Chevys had different design themes. Not any more. Hau Tai Tang struck lightning with his S197 design in 2005. Ford made him chief of global design for everything Ford...
  8. Ford will offer a third engine (more powerful 2.3L EcoBoost) to 2020 Mustang lineup

    It is vehicles like this (above) that make me give thanks everyday for the Ford Mustang. Here is the way uh-huh uh-huh I like it.

  10. Ford will offer a third engine (more powerful 2.3L EcoBoost) to 2020 Mustang lineup

    I will try to respond to that elegance. An auto builder likes smoke coming out of the smoke stack and cars loading at the rail head. The NA 3.7 created a $24k Mustang with the $1300 AT. Go find a current build equivalent 2 door coupe at $24k, then tell me what you bought. The 3.7 is by far not...
  11. Ford will offer a third engine (more powerful 2.3L EcoBoost) to 2020 Mustang lineup

    I could not pass on the 3.7L ‘17. It is the best driving value Detroit has built. Ford dressed it down to lean sales toward the 2.3 Turbo. I drove the Turbo. I felt the V6 had more gut. The V6 is de-tuned to position the I4-Turbo as the #2 engine choice. Having said that, the car I have with 6...
  12. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    Mikethe Can you talk about your impressions of the ten speed autotrans ? I am curious. It has taken me some time to learn how to best work paddle shifting the 6 speed trans. All things considered, and understanding state of the art AT outperforms everything previous, I still prefer the floor...
  13. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    No way Jose! The fenders, the hood, the radiator profile were all sculpted down one inch. The front end fenders hood and facias are not interchangeable with 2015 to 2017. Do your home work.
  14. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    Wrong! Note that I posted a "real thing pic" for contrast. Nobody here thinks the C6G interior, dash, toilet seat hood, or sardine can trunk lid looks good. The driver discomfort and flying blind visibility issues have been beat well here also. A page 4 poster stated that GM is trying to salvage...
  15. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    To atone for posting sham-maro pics on mustang6g, I need to post a real thing pic. Accept no substitute.
  16. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    Spy shot of the 2020 Camaro facelift.
  17. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    On further review, following staring at these C6G pics, Chevy plagiarized the S550 in the 2019 Camaro face lift. The strong mid front bumper bar with grill above and below is a Mustang thing. Now it is a camaro thing also. Same with the protruding relief angles on the rear. What a joke. If not...
  18. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    Can't find January 2019 sales thread in Forums. So I am posting in the last 2018 sales discussion January 2019 muscle car sales: Mustang_5420 Challenger_3230 Camaro_NR take aways: 1. muscle car sales are not growing industry wide 2. Mustang is off to a 40% lead over Challenger after one...
  19. Mustang takes 2018 sales crown over Challenger and Camaro

    I cannot find S550 V6 sales data for 2015, 2016, and 2017 to prove a guess. My guess is a good part of the -43% is the elimination of V6 entry level Mustang. @$24K no builder ever offered as much value as the S550 V6. I drove one at the dealer out of curiosity, It took 60 seconds to decide to...
  20. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    I like your point a lot..."well worth the penalty in a street car", so important and overlooked. The '07 GT w/T3650 was 3352# at the rail head on the MSO and 3356# on specs. I have my down to about 3240# dry weight. It is a fun car to drive and seems to hold it's own in road chases with big...
