I'm seriously Jonesing for a late 944. Maybe an S, or S2.
Friggin' pop-up headlights. And a moon roof. And that 944 style/look.

Living in the US (which isn't the case), I would go for another Stang and/or a Chrysler 300 (cool car that is totally different compared to the dull European, Japanese and Korean cars that flood the roads over here 
).
).

I really enjoy my PP2, so would either replace it with another or find an '18-'20 GT350.

I voted no, and would not rule out another one, but having already done the Mustang, I would look at something else first, like the new Corvette.

It would be my 2nd time around lol. I had my Ecoboost totaled last year and went to a GT. I think I would still get another GT, but definitely something with Performance Pack 1 or 2 this time. I’m doing the mods right now to get something equivalent to the PP and it’s a pain...

Well, considering in today's market that insurance adjusters will total just about anything, depending on the damage, I'd take the check, buy it back from insurance and do a complete paint color change to something like Nardo / Destroyer Gray and go from there. Rebuilt / salvage title wouldn't bother me, I wouldn't be getting rid of it and I don't buy new / newer cars for resale value.
That's the main reason I've caught myself trying to justify a Mach I - the gray paint. I can add digital dash to my car etc........so at this point I'm seriously considering getting it wrapped gray. $2500 is a lot cheaper than $60K+ for a Mach I.
Now if the sales manager at my dealer (know him for years I got my '19 for a good bit under invoice) would STOP Calling me about trading my '19 in. The used car market here is ridiculous. I could literally trade my car in and damn near get what I paid for it new and he said he's got several new '20 GT's he could transfer in and sell me for under invoice. Of course none of them are the right color grey.

This situation, unfortunately, happens.
We bought a '17 GT PP and turned it into an ESP classed hillclimb car. Fun but damm that trans s@#ked.
In Sept of '18, we were doing 1 of our track events at Shenandoah and as my wife was coming out of the last turn on our course, she made a mistake and blasted the wall. Front end hit, then the back end. Essentially hitting the barrier and moving it with the front and back end, making the car hit the end of both barriers. Didn't look bad from the passenger side but oh boy, the drivers side was destroyed. Car was toast. Even destroyed the wheels on the drivers side.
Luckily, she was strapped tightly into a sparco Evo II seat with full harnesses. She was sore for months. LOL!
I laugh but it was all good. It's just a car.
In early '19, we bought another GT and are hillclimbing that. Hope not to destroy this one too but as long as no one gets hurt, it's racing.
Had mustangs all my life. In '17, I bought a '17 Grand Sport. Unfortunately, she didn't want to race that so I had to sell it. But yeah, always seem to come back to a mustang as it talks to me while racing. On the street, I don't care what I drive.
FYI, I didn't turn it into the insurance company. We could have pulled the stickers off and all but why do it? No thanks on the chance of getting hit with that chaos. Ate the cost and kept going. It's kind of part of racing.
We are 1 for 1. I destroyed 1 and she destroyed 1. Hoping that is all over now LOL!
Long answer to the question but yes, I'd buy another mustang.

Unfortunately this happened to me. My 2019 ruby red GT350 was safely parked inside my garage when a senior citizen came around the corner amazingly threaded between two trees and hit my house. His Toyota pick up went through my garage and hit my beautiful 350 in the drivers side rear wheel. The impact was so great that it pushed my Mustang through the garage wall and onto the front porch of my house. The GT350 was bent like a boomerang and quickly declared a total loss by my insurance company. They paid me 10K less than the original purchase price of my one year old GT350. I went back to my original Ford dealer seeking a new GT350 and found that none were available in northern California. My dealer had just received a 2020 Bullitt with magnaride and the premium B&O sound system. I keep my 2020 Dark Highland Green Bullitt safely parked inside my garage.

Haven't "pushed" it much since still only got 1100 miles on the engine. Haven't had any traction issues since I don't disable the traction control system. I'm curious when I do a 0-60 test if the best results are with it on or with it off and smoking the tires?
