Due to some personal circumstances, I need to be relatively close to a dealer for not only purchasing but mainly servicing the car. I am not relatively close to a dealer. Yes, I know I "don't have to take it to the dealer" for service, but I want to.
I've seen that review you posted, and it's...
Thanks again for the input. Yes, the RWD is a check in the Mustang column. I know the Altima has less HP but, as far as being fun to drive, I have to admit, the Altima was pretty darn fun to drive. I don't know that for sure that it was faster than 6.5 and agree that it appears the HPP will...
Thanks, Shogun32. Yes, the I think the GTI would be a good fit. Unfortunately there are no Volkwagen dealers within a reasonable distance, which due to circumstances, is a factor I need to take into consideration. I believe Civic SI only comes in manual? So that is not an option as I need an...
Okay, that's somewhat helpful, but not really. Trash is an easy word to throw around, but means nothing without additional details. In other words, why, exactly is it trash?
I know. But, the same could be said for a lot (probably most) people - no racing will ever be done. It's the feeling of "being able to". Want versus need. It's pretty common, especially when it comes to autos.
I know, you are right. Unfortunately, it's just the way I am. As one poster said, "do your research/due diligence", so I guess that's what I'm doing. Having said that, I posted in the "Mustang vs." forum that I am comparing this car to an Altima VC Turbo. I know, they are in totally...
I realize this is a Mustang thread so answers may be understandably biased but I'll post anyway. Love the look of the HPP (don't need a GT so don't want to pay for one). Clearly, Mustang carries more panache than Altima. Let's take that out of the equation. Also take out that Nissan may or...
Correct. The car I am looking at would be significantly less than even a base GT (you know, with the 2 inch screen). Plus, frankly, I like the look of the HPP better - wider tires, decklid spoiler, wheels etc. Add to that better gas mileage and I thought it was an easy decision. However, I...
Thank you. And thanks, everyone, for the replies. I still would like to see additional times posted.
I guess my big hang up is this:
All things considered, I would have expected a car named Mustang 2.3L Turbo with High Performance Package to be, straight off the lot with a normal driver and...
Thank you. Again, being a newbie, what is meant by "light launch". Does that just mean not stomping the pedal out of the gate but more easing into it (and trying to find the sweet spot)? It is an automatic so I gather there is no "Launch Control" in the Track Apps.
Yes, I am a newbie. I don't know what the actual octane in the car is - its a test drive with 50 miles on it. And I realize that I probably shouldn't have taken a few 0-60 drives (although I'm quite sure I'm not the only that test drives new cars this way). I'm not trying to be...
Greetings. I have test driven a 2020 HPP (automatic, no handling pkg). Per track apps, the best 0-60 time I could achieve was 6.5 seconds (in drag mode). Granted, this is probably using 87 octane and is on streets, not a track, but everything Ford has said indicates a sub 5 second 0-60 time...
