Lexusfreak Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Ford hit a 'grand slam' when they redesigned the Mustang!! Georgous car IMO. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 yeah i saw something too about that they were building the car and testing it to be a factory road race care, in some series, i don't remember.....it was gonna replace an older cobra that was on the circuit already......... they built the car and engine, put it on the dyno, then had their factory race car driver drive it around the track and give it hell........that thing looked and sounded ferocious Kurt Busch also took it for a spin and he thought it was sweet too.....he said "man this is a racecar" i personally love it.......great design, great engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Fairly reasonable price compared to many other high performance cars out there too! I'll take my V8 GT in red thanks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 yeah, i'm prolly gonna get it as soon as it will come out. already got an insurance quote for it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Are they reasonable or very high rates compared to what your driving now?? I'm gonna give Ford a year or two to massage any 'bug's' out of the new Mustang & perhaps get a 'special edition' GT.....I can't wait to test drive one however. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 yeah, me too. but i will not get a gt, i will get a cobra svt version. or saleen. regular gt no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 the difference in price from a GT to a Cobra or saleen is a lot of money.....don't know about the '05s but i know you can get a GT 5 speed for around 20-21K brand new now..........( i was looking at them and test driving them about 2 months ago) the cobra's are upwards of 30K and the Rousch or Saleen well you are looking at around 40K......A BIG difference in price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 but its worth it:) i drove old saleens and cobras and its really nice, i would love to get a 69 dodge charger but they are way too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 heck you could get a GT for 20-21 and put a supercharder on it for 2-3 grand. and have something about as fast as a cobra...........i don't know if cobra's have different heads or not.... either way they are sweet, i've been after a GT 99+ but after a lot of research i think (in a year or two) i'm gonna go the SS camaro route. <_< keepin the lexi though.

VMF Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 i'm gonna keep the lex as well, just not the one i have now, planning to sell acura and ls400 and get like a 2000 or 20001 ls as well as mustang cobras have different bodykit as well as suspension, transmission, differential etc.. its not only about the engine, its about handling, braking looks etc:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Curious Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 i like the new stang, too bad i would much rather have an 03/04 cobra which are going for ~$20k. if you want something that will cheaply own the 1/4 mile, get an 89-93 fox body. VERY cheap with TONS of aftermarket support. 10's for under $10k? yes please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 yeah i know that, but i love the shape of the new stang, i'm not really into racing, i love the engine sound and the shape, it just appeals to me, 99-04 stangs are good but the shape is not that appealing.

silvermate Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 i love the engine sound and the shape, it just appeals to me, 99-04 stangs are good but the shape i heard that..........nothing sounds better than the mustang V8.....music to my ears put a nice cam in there and a header with a cat back.....LOOK OUT......ferocious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I agree the Mustang GT/Cobra is one of the greatest sounding cars out there-it's got a nice sound, but it's not obnoxious, and Ford took some time to make it so-the exhausts are different sizes on each side for that classic sound(the mufflers have different part numbers for each side). What has swayed you toward the Camaro SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 What has swayed you toward the Camaro SS? well, for one they are a ton faster than a GT........and for the money i want to spend.......a newer cobra/roush/saleen is outta my budget....... i could get a 97-98(i love the 98+ SS body style, they are high though) i could smoke just about any mustang on the road. i also feel that chevy builds a more mechanically sound car than ford......(don't want to step on any toes, thats just my opinion) mustang interior is cheap looking and cheaply built, so is the rest of the car, exept power parts, ie....engine, tranny, rear end. i love the LT1 and the LS1 i don't know i haven't really made up my mind yet...i'm still looking at both.....i love the mustang as well, sounds great, and looks great...... but the SS camaro is just in a differnt league, IMO, those engines are just far superior........ but i would love to have a cobra, don't get me wrong......

VMF Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 i was thinking about camaro as well and my friend even had one and it he crashed and burned it. it was x8 or smth, and i have to tell u that yes, camaro is faster car but mustang beats camaro in maneurability and handling and i'm getting the stang for the casual driving, no racing so those things are more important to me and that made up my decision. as to the interior i might rennovate it a bit, ricaro seats, DVD/ navigation, etc...

blake918 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I respect your opinion totally but must disagree! :D I do not like Chevy interiors of the '90s one bit like this one found in a '97 Cam SS...it's soo Chevy Cavilier. I'm not the only one; car magazine editors bash the hell out of the Vette for it's interior because it is an otherwise superb car for its $50k msrp. I've driven one before(a C5-'99), and I was heartbroken to see an American icon degraded for an extra buck. Same on you GM. :( The exterior on the Camaro looks a little busy to me. : I'm going to disagree that Chevy makes a more sound car. Maybe they do, but our '99 Suburban has been nothing short of a mechanical nightmare. This thing has an insatiable appatite for water pumps and alternators, and a nicely toasted tranny at 60k. You've got to cut the GT a little slack you you compare it with the top Camaro SS; the Z28 is on more level plaing ground with the GT. :) This interior from a '98 Mustang so much easier on the eye! Ford's interiors are always plain, simple, and pretty. If you go with a Stang the Mach 460 stereo is a must!! B) VMF, I think you're thinking of the Z28. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermate Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 thats why i like you blake you respect others opinions, just as i (we) respect yours. :D i had a 2004 Vette, well it wasn't mine but it was for 6 months,,,,,it was my G/F's G-pa's won't go into the details..........that thing was ferocious (thats my new word) P.S. look in the buy and sel forum and look at a past post "04 vette for sale", thats her. but yeah the interiour is plain. especially for a 55k car, like you mentioned..... lets put it this way both the interiors are pretty plain and dull...... like i said above i think the Mustangs and Cobras are Sweet!!!! but if i had to choose just one i would go with the 98+ SS camaro. they are WAY faster. its a tough descision, and one i'm not rushing into,,,,,,i've drivin both, i like both.....so we'll see, i'll keep you updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 thats why i like you blake you respect others opinions, just as i (we) respect yours. :D ← Thanks so much! :D You're not so bad yourself! ;) I don't find the interior too plain; it's just extremely low rent. It's got the same stereo head unit that's in a Malibu or any other chevy, and a lot of things don't look and feel $50k-ish. The one I've driven is a converitble, and the switch that pops the toneau cover looks like it's tacked on at the end of production because the wires just dangle; their not in any kind of enclosure or anything like that. :( The view of the hood from the driver's seat is simply amazing! It is very dramatic. And, the gauges are great...especially how they dance when you turn the key on! :D You've got perfectly reasonable reasons for leaning toward the SS-more HP and less $$. Good luck with your decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the vette , My friend has a 40th anniv.in red and there are fake scoops on the sides and hood , cheap interior , looks cheap under the hood , loose wiring harnesses and the like , But he likes it for $30,000 . You can get alot of lexus for that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the new Mustangs too!! I saw one on the interstate the other day; it is a great looking car! And, the interior is excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
