Good points and good memory. You kind of backup my point about affordable performance being part of the Mustang thing. In the world of the $30K, $14.5K and $16K great American muscle cars you name, $8.5K in stock trim put a guy in the game with an HO 5.0 Mustang and nothing else did that. Throw...

Part of the success of Mustang is affordability. Tesla (imo and wallet) is not affordable. In 1988 one could spend $8500 on an HO 5.0 Notchback Mustang and run with cars costing $50K. Don't know about every State, in MO, CA and IN the Highway patrols bought them by the 100s. They were fast...

TwinTurbo closed his two above posts with: “Still waitin' on the next round of Mustang prototype spyshots to give us some indication of when the next changes are coming." and "Anyway, this threads about the 7th Gen Mustang and I'm anxious for any news about it!” You can’t drive news. What you...

For 50 years Mustang has kept to a theme: short wheelbase sport 2 door long hood fast back pony car with muscle and big muscle variants. I have no problem with every soccer mom, mail carrier, car pool driver, public service vehicle, uber lyft and cab driver piloting electric vehicles. America...

Martin's ride aside, I am still rocking and rolling in overdrive in my '07 GT. There will always be something better. Sometimes, you don't need better.

Throwing an olive branch to Martin, I do not think he is trolling. His comments are relevant and add to the convertible discussion. I have learned from his point of view and see the convertible mystique in better focus than before. I have written "drive what you like, like what you drive" Martin...

Cool daddy-O when you rev it up it's ready to go. What is not to like about that?

martinjlm: "When a convertible is the issue, no contest. Camaro SS Convertible gets my vote. Top up it looks closer to the coupe profile than the Mustang vert, which looks like a notchback to me and loses all the sweet lines of the fastback. Plus the Camaro has the no-stop droptop and HUD, both...

I don't have a C6G to test so I can't research what you are saying. Here is a Head to Head GT 350R v ZLI video : It is worth a watch. The Camaro does all this great stuff you brag about, and shows better performance numbers, but both reviewers wanted the Mustang. I do too and share their reason.

My only convertible ownership was a 1972 Fiat 124 Spyder in San Diego County. As good as SD, CA weather is, most of the week the top was up. What did I learn? Convertibles are higher maintenance and at times very cool. Been a hardtop driver ever since I sold the 124 in 1979 and moved back to the...

The older I get the more I don't know. So, I researched Mazada 626. It appears to be a 4 door, front wheel drive, V6, sedan, and in sport trim probably fun. Ford and Mazada have associated. The Mazada 6 was built at Flat Rock, MI alongside S197 Mustangs 2005 to near 2008?. The Mazada 626 dash in...

Point well taken, was just visiting 6G to see what is new and saw this thread for the first time. I am late and the party is over but I wanted to push back about the whinning. If a Mazada is a substitute for a Mustang the guy may as well as ride the bus.

You failed to describe the accident, only show a picture, and say "this happened before I got out of the intersection." The photo is the result of what happened, but what happened is unknown. If your S550 was hit by a run away shopping cart, well yes, it is fair to call it fragile. If it was hit...

So is a Lincoln Continental.

Enjoy your new FCA ride. It could make a great Taxi cab. I will stick with Stang. Cars like Charger are why I give thanks everyday for the Ford Mustang.

I won't argue your point, i probably did underestimate, the drive was about a dozen miles. Different drivers look for different things in a car. There are drivers crazy about Camaro. I did take away however, that C5G and S197 are different worlds. I prefer the S197. Now the C6G and S550 I...

Amazing car. Ford's entry into the my dog is bigger than your dog 700+ HP party. ZR1, Hellcat, Demon, Shelby 500. I have seen guys drive off the lots with these ego boosters and trade them after 800 miles. If you have to have it, OK, but be careful.

Buy a Camaro and epoxy a chrome Pony on it. GM treats Camaro like Mr. Potato Head. Same body, new nose. The ‘19 Camaro nose is Mustang inspired with the strong horizontal mid bumper and outline of upper and lower grill trapezoids, an S197 GT500 thing and S550 every model thing. Regardless of...

Interesting comment. This confirms a YouTube ZL1 v GT350 video where two guys drive both on a track. Driving confirmed the ZL1 was mini-faster in certain competition aspects, but both choose the GT350. Conclusions: the ZL1 is amazing when doing high speed, high G Force, on the edge stuff, but...

Good observation. I think the 2019 Camaro front end refresh has something to do with that. The more it looks like a Mustang the better it sells
