2015 Mustang Thread

[Tunnel_D]

Posted this up in the throwdown section to see what you guys think of the GT350 and how the Supra will stack up. But without comparing even what do you guys think of the new hi po Mustang??

I personally love it and it's shot up to the top of my potential list. Have never really been a Mustang fan until now to be honest always thought it was a musclehead type of car. But having that flat plane crank engine that revs past 8000 rpm makes it somehow exotic to me. And the styling is sex!

Ford got people's attention yesterday for sure. As a rule I hate domestics but Ford and Chevy have been impressin lately with their Corvette, Camaro and Mustang offerings -- C7, Z/28 and GT350. And the one achiles heel of these cars - their quality - is so much better than before and not something that every mag can just poke fun at automatically.

I'm not a fan of the whiskers look of its front end it looks like a catfish. Hella fast catfish tho
So this flat plain crank engine that it has - is the only other car with it are Ferraris? And if its such a big deal that everyone is raving about it why don't more companies do it?

On paper this car is just plain sick. I just don't think I could ever be a Mustang owner. The car and its image is tough for me to overcome [yea call me vain].

Saw reports that claim starting price will be about $53000. That'd be a bargain price for all that HP/TQ. Anyone test driven one yet? Curious to see if they're much improved quality and driving experiene.

I really want to like it; the GT350 has the best looking treatment of the front grille on these new 6th gen mustangs.... but it's still way too heavy for me.

You and me both.

If I was still in high school, maybe... but then I wouldn't have the money. I'm not even 30 but I already feel like it would not be fitting.

I admire the cars for what they are, but there are just too many mustangs driving around, half of them beat to hell pieces of shit.

Fact remains anybody can walk onto a Ford lot, and for under $20k can drive off in a new mustang. And for $50k or $60k you are buying the same car.

I hate to say it but I agree it's also the stereotype image of the mullet wearing lawnchair 'Murica guys that would make me not to owning one.

I think Ford is really trying to change that though. A flat plane crank, some european infused design, a turbo 4, selling globally...all a good place to start. I've heard a lot of BMW guys are taking interest now too.

It's not even close to production. Not even pricing announced which is what I'm waiting on mostly.. I'm in no rush tho, going to wait to see how the MKV supra pans out before plopping down any money.

A 100,000$ mustang? Wow. Seriously what nutjob would buy that over a comparable priced car... like the GT-R?

I wouldn't but probably someone that wants a super exclusive coach built collectors car. It's not my cup of tea but you know some huge muscle car fan with money to burn will pick this up and never drive it again.

They butchered the front. Standard one is already great looking so why mess with it.

 

[pbj]

I want one!
