This is my first Ford and first Mustang (2016). Other than the 67-69 fastbacks and the 2005+, I've never really been sold on them. I've had 4 Pontiacs and been a GM guy mostly. Also had a Tiburon GT.
No Mustangs, that is until I saw a S550. The styling, the price, the performance, the possibilities, I was converted.
First mustang for me as well.
I have been imports all my life, and know about all there is to know about turbocharged Subaru's, Evo's, and Miata's. Also owned a corvette c5 and Z06, but never a Ford before.
Im 44 and this is the first CAR i've ever owned....Previously I was a bagged dually on 24" semi wheels guy, and before that I was a bagged mini truck guy...had a couple features in Mini Truckin' Mag with that one....always either had a small truck or a dually since the age of 16...I still have my DD tacoma (2008), but I have to say I LOVE driving the Mustang...
I swore off domestics after years of Chrysler and GM crap. Never owned a Ford. I then bought a 12 year old Escort with 31k on it as my winter beater to my Miata. I was really impressed on how well the Escort held out and how cheap/easy it was to fix. So when it was time for a new sports car, I caught wind of the new Mustang and IRS and 435HP. That combined with Ford being the only domestic who did not take a bail out, I decided to give them a chance. So far I'm very impressed and very happy. I now have a Japanese winter beater and an American sports car!
