The well has gone dry. The dealers are running out, and seem to have more Ecoboosts. Most used Bullitt and Mach 1s have too many miles on them for the price. Keep in mind I'm not a young kid all bright eyed purchasing something that's going to be major problems. Can't turn back the clock. I'll have to get a '25 real quickly.

Not sure what your budget is, but check in the Kansas City area. I looked earlier today and they had a few with low miles (6K-10K) with pricing listed in the mid $40’s.

That's really good. But too far away. Don't want to get stuck in a tornado end up in Oz😉. I seen a lot of great prices east of me. But unfortunately I can't get much time off at this time of the year. Was going to head to Denton Ok, but I called and Nullity was sold. But for my wife I can pay for a new car no problem. She deserves it.

Yeah. So I could have two of them. A GT 6 SPD/4.10, McLoud clutch, H pipe, Gt350 1/2 shafts, anti hop kit, MGW short shift kit. I have a truck also.
Cool, then you agree!! 😎

My daughter [...] she takes over payments.
Wait, hold the phone. What? You're going to saddle your daughter with debt? You're going to teach her that borrowing money she doesn't have for something she can't afford is OK? That Impatience is OK? Dad, do your duty better. Please.

Daughter makes very good money. More than I did at her age. The car she has now she bought when she was 19. Plus it's half paid off, and only 25 grand left. She absolutely loves the car. You would too if you seen it. the PP Ecoboost is discontinued now. No more Performance Package available after '24. The little sucker gets me from light to light. Plus my wife can seriously drive.

Ecoboost is quicker off the line to 30 or 40 and way quieter plus tons of off rentals in the market. Lots of low milage GT garage queens as well from folks who need cash fast.

S650 is not selling well except as rentals have stopped taking 2025 orders already will need to be a '26, should be able to get massive discount on a '25.

Can go wrong with any of them all are great just different flavors.

I could've saved 4,000 if I bought one last weekend. They have a 2,000 incentive on them now. I drive mine daily. My wife and I have a place we race. That little 4 banger is the strongest little thing put in a car. I do have a feeling the V8 may go away in a few years. I see lots of S650 Ecoboosts on the road. My wife's is fully loaded top of the line, vapor blue, PP, 3.55 axle, and I think it has Magnaride, but I can't remember.

EB is great at legal speeds cant begin to compare with flooring a GT at 70 though. Too bad Ford dropped HPP from EB....I missed the one year only 2023 HPP Magnaride convertible.....I do love the look of 60th convertible.

Her Ecoboost does have the Magnaride. But the engine is so light I can't see why it's needed. I don't have in on my GT. I'm not a track type driver anyway. I have no problems doing what I do with my car. Although I'd like to get a different intake maybe later. I'm thinking about a supercharger. But want to do a few things to her car like I did to mine. like an H, X, or Switchfire resonator delete and GT350 1/2 shafts and street enthusiast stop the hop kit. Maybe the darkest green metallic PPF so it could resemble her old Bullitt that was hit and totalled.

Not needed just super rare option on EB and one I wanted butw wasn't available very happy with my HPP springs and PP1 damper up till 120 then gets bouncy compared to B6. Great at legal speeds though.

A guy I saw painted is vert a light blue metallic and looked amazing.

Mine is Atlas Blue. I sometimes say Vapor Blue. I get the two confused all the time. There needs to be more variety of colors. I can understand why not many are available on a cars than have low sales. They need to bring back the PP again.

She had a Bullitt. I've a GT. She's a professional driver, but not a race car driver. Too much involved in that. For that you'll definitely need at least a Bullitt or better a Mach 1 or Dark Horse. But you can't beat the Cadillac Blackwing V V8. That car rips at the dragstrip. I laughed the first time I saw one. Then dude gunned it. Dude tore that Mustang up. So there's all kind of foreign stuff. I like American Muscle cars. Toyota, Honda Kia, great for commute and grocery shopping. Sure I could do the same, but my eyes hardly leave my Mustang. If I can't see it I don't park.
