So thinking of trading the Mustang....

[Briebee72]

It's calling you lol. The prices on these came down since the C8 craziness, and they're available in manual still. I'm seeing low mile ones in the upper 60's right now, which isn't bad at all.

OH I know but I just cant do a used car... and Ill say this as I duck, after 30 years of manuals IM over them I love my auto. But boy it looks good.

The auto is great in those as well, they're pretty dumb fast. And I get that, I'm not a fan of used cars either. But Corvette owners are probably the most obsessive over taking care of their cars compared to anything else. They hardly even drive them, so it might as well be new lol

Unless ford somehow makes them ugly as crap which they have done before. like the 1999 to 2004 model... eh the most boring ugly mustangs ever. My opinion anyway

And the 71-73 land yachts, any mustang II (they were just glorified pintos anyway) and like you said the SN-95 refresh AKA the New Edge mustangs from 99-2004. I kind of liked the first version of the sn95's from 94-98.

Every time I get an itch to trade up I remind myself that my car is paid for. That said, look at the twin turbo Cadillac or high end Lexus models for performance thrills.

Yeah this was my main goal wait on the s650. but im impatient I could trade now and by time it comes out in gt form I would be ready for another trade then anyway and would still get one.

Guessing you weren't around in the 70's to experience the awesome 1974-78 Mustang II Ghia (save King Cobra)...and the super awesome Capri while they were actually new on the car lot. However, the 1974 Mustang did win Motor Trend's prestigious car of the year award.

M2 Competition is not that much more expensive than the Mustang and it's much Faster. If I was changing for a BMW that would have been it.

Where are you getting that its faster?

Yeah a E85 tuned lightly modded 18 plus a10 runs low 120’s full weight all day. Not much out there runs much better unless you want to spend more $$$.

Yeah this is what IM facing. I like new shiney but man its hard to beat these cars for what you get and can do at the price they are.

 

[Adamone92]

Yeah supra was/is on my radar. Ive driven the Camaro and The performance is there but I personally cant get past the interior or the blind spots. :(

Yeah..if considering bmw at all, i would consider the supra tbh. At least youll be dealing with "toyota" instead of bmw.

I feel ya on the interior. One reason i went mustang

Yeah the CT5? I have looked at those haven't driven one yet but the dark grey one is sexy. the 2021 will be twin turbo and awd with electric. but Cadillac having a mass exodus of dealers right now is worrying.

No E85 needed, people are getting 121-122 bone stock lol

Yes, but not everyone lives at sea level. My track @ 1500’ runs 2-3 tenths and 2-3 mph slower on avg. So the E helps. ;).

Yeah there is no flow the dash looks like it got stung by a bee and had a reaction and the air vents are obnoxious and poorly placed. Its just an awful interior. its a shame cause performance wise its a good car.

I dont mind most of it, and the HUD is really nice. But a few interior features made it meh to me. Overall not THE deciding factor..but i do want to enjoy the interior since thats where most time with the car is spent lol.

I do also like the recaro seats in the 1le package
