I do know that Mustangs are "Pony Cars"... The term comes from the Mustang, and technically, "Muscles Cars" are as you say, Mid-to-large coupes (of the day) such as Impalas, Fairlanes, Polaras, etc. However, that was largely due to engine size and many Pony cars ultimately had big blocks and so...
I don't like the new grill, but I have a friend with one and it's growing on me. Or rather... I'll get used to it. I'll say the same about the new Mustang, which looks like like a Camaro, but, I've felt that way about almost every car I've had that underwent a significant update. Right now...
:giggle:
Were you the one who asked for opinions? (No) . Did I tell anyone what they should want? I don't think so... I was giving a little history lesson from my perspective because someone asked. sorry I don't see things your way.
I'm not. Never said I wanted the best handling car which is what you're referring to (and that's debatable and depends on the road track). My point is a Mustang is a Muscle car, and Muscle cars historically are defined by their straight-line performace and sound. A GT will smoke a stock EB...
I don't look down on 6cyl or ecoboost owners.
Yes, I did say 911 because its all about expectations and the following a particular car gets among enthusiasts. 911 people want a rear-engined 6cyl air cooled boxer engine... Period I get it. I also don't give a s**t. I like the water cooled 911...

That's true (but if there were no Mustang GT or a non-V8 GT, I'd likely be driving an M4 or M235I convertible). I believe the first Mustang off the assembly line was a six-cylinder and I think 6cyl sales were always more than the V8s, but that's true about almost every car. They...
You youngsters (40-something or younger) will determine the direction the Mustang goes in the future, but for your information, for those of us who were teenagers in the 60s and 70s, "Muscle Cars" were defined by big V8 engines, period. No 6s, no 4s... Also, manual transmissions were not...
Boomer here... I thought the stock exhaust on my '18 GT was loud enough, but was raspy, tinny, and with the crackling-popping sound that is currently cool with probably 80% of the sub-40-year-olds today. I Like old-school 302/5.0 rumble. Most of the Cat backs available still retain the...
As a former car detailer, I take exceptional care of all my cars and try to keep them like new, but don't worry about mileage... I drive them daily. My 2018 GT has 51K miles and I Just stepped out of it:
Thanks! Yes, Seattle is a beautiful city and Washington state has some amazing geography... Its a tragedy what has become of it today. A lot of my friends and neighbors were locals and had the same life experience you did... We lived there for 17 years (actually Kent). I always pined-away...
