  1. Anyone looking at an audi s3 as well?

    I just took a test drive of both the S3 and S4 today while I was picking stuff up at the VW/Audi dealership's sister Subaru Dealership (all owned by Autonation). The S3 was nice...didn't have the magnetic ride but had everything else. However, it was too cramped and small for me. I kept...
  2. Cross-shopping the S550 GT with a BMW M235i

    I'm just happy we have all these wonderful options...I mean really we could be back in the Late 80s and early 90s.
  3. Cross-shopping the S550 GT with a BMW M235i

    You do have a point...any car made in this day and age that is meant for performance better god damned have an LSD. If my 2004 WRX has 2 of them...then BMW can freakin' fit 1 on their RWD cars with any form of "M" plopped on them. It's ridiculous. Though I will admit that my viscous rear diff...
  4. Cross-shopping the S550 GT with a BMW M235i

    From the reviews I've read (just google it), people that have driven both a regular M235i and the one with the LSD usually comment that the normal one is fine (since it has the brake-based setup) but the one with the LSD is a lot more confidence inspiring powering out of turns. I have also been...
  5. 2015 GT PP vs. 2013 M3

    Word to all...will obviously drive the thing when I get a chance but I know our local dealers are not super horny for someone to test drive it on a backroad. That is why I rely a lot on my magazine and youtube reviewers of choice. I will also admit that I have never been all that happy with...
  6. 2015 GT PP vs. 2013 M3

    I'm likely getting a '11 or so E92 M3 unless the S550 GT just blows my socks off. I find myself less interested about driving a manual car anymore and refuse to buy a GT with an auto because they leave so much of the cool stuff off of the auto equipped cars (would get PP and Recaros). As such...
  7. What would you do

    ^^^That...I vote that too. However, waiting for the GT350 or GT500 is not a bad way to go too.
  8. Navigation?

    Other than Tesla's system, I wouldn't spring for one on a car I was ordering from scratch. None of the manufacturers are able to hot-fix or remotely update their systems. Improvements are sparse or non-existent for most of the worst models. Would rather use my phone which is typically...
  9. 2015 Mustang Horsepower / Torque Figures and Weight Released!

    This is a compelling notion to me...I can almost see myself waiting it out for direct injection and whatever other goodies they will offer once the new Camaro comes out. I could probably buy another used car in the meantime that won't depreciate as steeply as a brand-new car would. Maybe...
  10. First mod?

    Tint will be the first mod because it is pretty benign (legal tint nothing crazy). Maybe some kind of audio upgrade as well but will be trying to keep the weight down on this build...most I will do is a single small amp setup with upgraded front stage and a sub that I can easily remove from the...
  11. How are you paying for your new shiny Mustang?

    Having a mortgage on a house is WAY BETTER in the eyes of the creditors then having financed a car before. That's pretty much the cream of the crop in terms of credit history. I will be trading in 1 or 2 of my cars...so roughly $20K and financing the rest.
  12. If it wasn't for the S550, what would you be looking at?

    Being that I am finalizing a divorce that could go all the way until January (that is the court date but I think we will settle out of court) I can't place an order so I will be among those of us that have to either find the one I want or order and wait until later in 2015. So it's given me...
  13. 2015 'Stang vs 2014/15 Nissan 370z

    Both are pretty cool...the VQ-series motor (to me at least) is pretty harsh sounding. The Nissan also doesn't have a back seat and is hard to get into (for me, I am fat).
  14. '15 Mustang GT with PP & Recaros vs. '09 Porsche 997 Carrera?

    I'd like to add a correction to my OP...I believe I can afford a 2009 911 by the time I would be picking up a Mustang. That would put me in a 997.2 in which they improved the power, made it more reliable and added PDK transmission (which I would prefer). That PDK is a game-changer for me...I...
  15. '15 Mustang GT with PP & Recaros vs. '09 Porsche 997 Carrera?

    Thanks all. I really wish we didn't have such a long time between now and when they finally arrive on dealer lots. I know I won't be one of the first to either get an order in on a new Mustang or buy one of the first on the lot, that ship has sailed. So it gives me some flexibility in my...
  16. 2018 Mustang refresh?

    Wouldn't be surprised to see a power-bump via Direct Injection for GT and maybe a DCT of some sort...gotta catch all those people wanting that kind of stuff.
  17. '15 Mustang GT with PP & Recaros vs. '09 Porsche 997 Carrera?

    So yeah, I am most likely getting the GT with PP & Recaros...but since we have to sit here waiting for tid-bits of news and I am not putting in an order until I read Motor Trend and Matt Farah's reviews, it got me thinking: "what else could I get for $40k?" The only thing appealing to me...
  18. Recaro leather seats vs. standard leather (heated/cooled)

    Truth be told, I will probably move to the west side at some point in the next few years. Too damned cold here in the winters and shoveling snow sucks donkey-balls.
  19. Recaro leather seats vs. standard leather (heated/cooled)

    With all due respect...Seattle, you wimps don't know nothing about no cold weather. What do you need to warm your buns while you blow on your latte? :headbonk::love::p <----Spokane.
  20. Rumor: Steeda Blog - 2015 Mustang Weight Gain (Updated with Steeda's Response)

    Man, the PR people really prepped Pericak well.
