Thinking of buying a 2015 Mustang GT. Hear me out:
1. Want a daily driver
2. Test drove the Camaro, can't see shit captain
3. Want it to be fast/fun/sporty
4. Can't afford over 30k
5. Sick of four door cars, single, live alone
6. Challenger looks like a stupid boat
7. Considering other options, such as ATS coupe, 335i, WRX, etc.
8. Live close to work, so MPG isn't a huge deal.
>>14549156
ok?

Sorry. I guess my question was, is there any cons to this decision I am not thinking of? I bypassed the 370z due to not backseat. Sometimes I like to lean back really far cause I have a bad back.
I was wondering if anyone had one and was happy with it.

Truck will fix your single issue.
Bought a '94 Caprice 9C1 edition for $1400. Runs awesome, just needs a new windshield because a tree branch fell and cracked it. Previous owner installed remote electric locks and trunk button, installed export German t84 headlights, and a rear axle from an Impala ss. Plus the spotlight works.
d-did I do good, /o/?
Also, Caprice thread I guess. I want some ideas on things to with it once I start working on it.

Not bad at all famalam
Any more pictures?
Swap in a manual transmission like that guy did to his Roadmaster on Regular Cars.
Alternately, repaint it and make it look as much like a police as you can.
Almost crashed my car during a simple canyon run today. Wasn't even going 8/10.
For those of you who are good at performance driving, how do you improve your driving skills without going full retard?
You take it to a track and loose control there.

How the fuck does this remotely help at all?
Video games =/= real life
Simulations are not good enough now a days. You got faggots on rfactor and atessa corsa thinking they're all schumachers.

>>14548523
Who say "freeway"?
Imagine if AC/DC said that, it would suck big time.

When AC/DC was around there were more highways than freeways

I know supras are good for producing power on the cheap, but are they more than a muscle car to go fast in a straight line?
Assuming top of the line suspension and tyres, are they good for turning without sliding out (i hear the chassis is pretty tail happy)?
Is the chassis rigid enough (or if not, something a few strut braces won't fix)?
I genuinely like the car, it's fucking cool and cheap as hell here in australia, but there's a lot of meme magic around the car and i want some honest opinions.
Can i get some facts from people who've...

Bump, someone has to know
I don't know much about the supra, but you're right about it being a meme car.
It's not a bad car, but people overvalue it like it's undefeatable.
If you enjoy it, don't let the memesters dishearten you. They're a terrible fanbase, but be the exception. Many great cars have shitty fanbases and that should not impact your choices at all.

It has a very hard time getting traction.
Basically 1000hp will get you into the high 10s
I've been wanting to buy an ae86 for a while now, and being that my shitbox is on its way out, I'm thinking I should start looking. What would be a reasonable price for an ae86 hatchback in good condition? 10k?
The one I'm looking at is going for 14k, but I talked the owner down to 12k. It's fully restored, but it's like a 5 hour drive. As long as I'm driving away in it I don't care, but would 12k be a little too much?
>>14546816
Is it the one in Lancaster, PA? It looks good, but it is the only one I could find. Supply and demand yo. He's supplying it, you demand it, he sets whatever price.
>>14546816
Also, consider every other car you can get fr 12,000. That money can buy a lot of better cars. Shit, you could three excellent condition moat as for that. Just some perspective.

Fucking apple products suck. *for, *miatas
When are smart traffic lights going to be become a thing for rural areas? All too often I'll be driving and the light turns yellow and I'll have to stop and wait several minutes. And I think to myself god damn there's not another car traveling in my same direction for several hundred yards, the damn light should have noticed that and just fucking stayed green for a few seconds longer so I could have had time to make it through the yellow. Truly this would be more efficient.
stop being a puss
treat them like a stop sign
>>14546789
Depends on where you live.
Where I live, these lights are common. They'll skip the left turn phase if there's nobody in the left turning lanes. They'll even remain green in one direction if there's nobody waiting in the other.
There's one annoying thing about them though. When they fuck up. The weight sensing ones are the worst. If you're driving a light car they sometimes don't notice you're there, and then you're stuck at an eternal red light.

That car is best scrapped. Taken apart for parts, at best. At least they'll be unused.

You wouldn't believe how many people thought genesis was a seperate brand already

Did Hyundai dealers downplay the Hyundai part of Genesis?
>>14546415
Most of them don't come with the Hyundai logo on them, they have the Genesis wings.
I'm convinced that Chevrolet intentionally made the volt a shit electric car so they can say SEE PEOPLE DON'T WANT THEM
The volt is acually a very good car.
people who own them are quite happy with em.
from what i've heard, even Sweden loves them.
Chevrolet should have made an electric 'corvette' to fluff the market before they launched the volt.

The Corvoltte?
