Is the Mustang a good car?
No, its a car for people who dream of fast
It's a bad car if you cant afford it, got beat by one, enjoy anime, your dad hated Fords, or your favorite manufacturer is in Germany. Otherwise they're pretty k.

>>14447534
I want to like the Camaro. I certainly respect it. But it's too ugly imo for me to buy it.
>>14447560
Buying a Mustang when it's heavier with less power.
>>14447534
Unless you've actually driven a Camaro.
>>14447563
Play around with the build and proce thing on their website until you find a color/stripe/wheel combo you can live with
>>14447566
You must be thinking of a 5th gen, the new one is great. It's a Cadillac ATS-V with a bad ass v8
>>14447564
It's a 20 lbs difference, brah.
>>14447451
>or your favourite manufacturer is in germany
This. I used to have a hardon for american muscle and I was dismissing everything else until I actually got into cars. Then I realized how superior German machines are and why american cars lose value so badly. Still love the classic muscle though
>>14447578
Really wish the styling wasn't so bad. This gen is very impressive though.
>>14447432
I dig it.
>>14447678
How's that rear visibility?
>>14447685
Terrible on most cars built after 2013, thank you
>>14447685
Back window is pretty good actually, my sides are ok enough, it's got the rear view camera with detection and blind spot monitoring. Maneuvering hasn't been an issue in heavy traffic.
>>14447678
Hows that V6?

The V6 is not as shitty anymore. It's just too quiet. I'll get a GT in a few years when I make more money.
>>14447582
>It's a 20 lbs difference, brah

Slower to 100

Help me decide guys.
I wont be modding it and its going to be a DD.
Already have a truck for a project.
>>14448583
for a DD the ecoboost premium is the sweetspot of cost/comfort/practicality. drive the v8 as well before you make a choice though

I'm pretty sure you're mistaking the general gm and ford banter for autism. There's a guy at work that drives a civic si and we bullshit all the time.

its 1600kg before you put it on a diet m80 and they can drop 100kilos pretty easily after that. This is speaking about s197 5.0's, i have no idea about s550
>>14450608

The nissan gtr is so huge that 7 states require you to obtain a CDL in order to drive it.

![RTR3[1].jpg~original.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wGN408G.jpg "RTR3[1].jpg~original.jpg")
I added one of these to my driveway not too long ago. It's actually pretty slow, even with the 5.0. But I'm planning on changing the gear ratio and putting a limited slip back there in the future.
I think it's a fine car for the price I paid, but there is a bit to be desired. Especially the old warping dash from all the years of sitting in the Sun. A few things don't fit right together on the interior, as previously state. But it's surprising me on how worth the price it was.
>>14450843
The V8. You know, the only model this board seems to give a shit about.
>>14447432
It's an okay car.
The big girl needs to go on a diet, starting with 30lbs of exhaust and we'll see how much the new wheels drop, supposed to be 9lbs lighter I think but we'll see once the new tires are on how much it really is.
>>14450878
Is that a motor swapped v6 or something? Every v8 mustang since 1986 is equipped with a lsd. You probably just need to throw a new clutch pack in there.
>>14450960
No, it's a 5.0 D, it still feels a bit slow though. I don't care much for the power but I do like the torque.
The other car I've been driving for years is forced induced though, so I might be a bit off kilter.
I know it's limited slip, but it's just not locking up when I want it to. Which probably means it needs a clutch pack. But I figured I was going to build a whole rear end off of a spare one at a junk yard, and plop it in in the future. Which would count a more aggressively locking diff.

>>14447534
This. The new Camaro is fucking magnificent, but the V8 is bordering on luxury car pricing now.
Was initially planning on getting a new 2SS. But the cheapest I can find are around $40,000 with a lot of dealer markup.
Subsequently I'm just going to get a used $20k Mustang Ecoboost Premium and drive it for 4 years while I wait for the 2SS used price to drop down to my budget.
>>14449432
Damn
>>14450990
The 5.0 only had 215 hp. Ford has made 3 engine generation leaps since then. This same basic engine was being produced in the 70s.
You might as well have a 1st gen sbc. It's a fucking dog until you start improving the air flow.

Because sick gains don't reduce the weight of your car.
its a good car but my budget is too small for a v8 so i will probably pass.
for the price of a 2016 base v6 or eco you can get a 2014 v8 with the performance package...
a 2016 GT with performance package and recaros takes (with taxes) a bit over 50 grand in Soviet Canada
>>14451801
The Recaros are a waste of money.
>>14451832
normal seats looks rubbish, didnt get to sit in them yet tho.
>>14451801
>budget too small he says
>talks about price of veeate with perf. package (which is admittedly totally worth it), and $3000 gay seats
if you're bitching about 50k for a car maybe you shouldn't be eyeing something with staggered summer tires, V8 thirst and high insurance rates, especially up north.
>>14451844
Except for the headrest, the seats look the same. They're even made by the same company that makes the Recaros.
>>14447432
define good
>>14451861
i mean its too much since the dollar is shit here, at current US prices i would be interested in it.
also if you get the v8 you might as well get the performance package.
>>14448150

Literally no reason to own any other car on the market other than being some badge whore.
>>14451915
I'm just going to go with this being bait, you couldn't really be that retarded, nah...
>>14451844
I've got the leather premium seats, pretty comfortable really.
>>14448150
those aren't V6 tires, or wheels. Those are base GT wheels, faggot-dipped black. the hood has also got the, uh, vent cutouts? It's definitely a GT, but I'm wondering where his rear spoiler went. Can you option to delete that without the performance package?
>>14447685
it's really not bad. you get used to it pretty quick
>>14447764
I mean the camaro guys like the camaro and the mustang guys (and a lot of women) like the mustang. the sooner everyone realizes that the Camaro is a better performing and more focused car, and the mustang is the more mass-market, comfortable and significantly cheaper one, the better off we'll all be.
even Car and Driver admits that the camaro is a lot worse cabin-wise and less comfortable on a daily basis. they ding the GT on it's lack of obnoxious exhaust note, which is a moot fucking point because people can and will upgrade them to be above and beyond the stock Camaro's note within a month of ownership anyway.
I have that magazine, and the Camaro won by something like, 5 points out of a hundred or so. It was a lot closer in the comparison than you'd think reading the article.
The mustang advertises to a broader audience, and gets the side effect of devaluing quick and the most common variant is an automatic V6 driven by a woman. But that doesn't mean that they're completely shit. It's just different.
>>14451963
It's just the regular premium non pp wheels, optioned with the spoiler delete, thought the factory spoiler looked like ass. I kinda wish I got the 6 piston brembos but I'll probably pick up some take offs in the future. Yes they are fag dipped, I was playing with the colors to decide which color to get my wheels. Going gun gray and they are in the mail.
>>14451943
I disagree.
yeah they look good, for about 5 years, then they look like cheap shit. Remember the 90's camaro's and stangs?
Decent dd? defensive driving?
decent mpgs, agree
not very expensive to own= everyfag has one
huge communities = fags get together and turns into a pissing contest
fuck huge aftermarkets to make them fast = why isn't it fast all ready
pretty comfy rides stock - yes, and no. they handle like shit imo, and i drove a new shelby a while back when it came in as a trade in, and it seemed like it was made for shorter people. I'm 6ft2. and the "a" pilar was so thick i thought it was a hazard blind spot. Possibly hitting people you don't see about to cross the street.
can be had to luxury? dude really. buy a cadi.
I had a 96' v6 1st gen 3.6l going through college. what a piece of shit. Plastic as hell, I had to run 100 shot just to keep up with the gt's
Currently I have a 2005 C55 AMG, and an 07 Audi a3 2.0t.
I'm never going back american. It just seems like less.
>>14451963
>Can you option to delete that without the performance package?

>>14452008
>Remember the 90's camaro's and stangs?
Those never looked good.
>>14452025
cmon now, when they first came out you thought it was cool, don't lie. I remember looking at the new 94 stang and thinking it looked cool when it came out, especially compared to the old box mustangs, like an ugly 88
>>14452037
After the 70s, I never thought any Mustang looked good up until the recent gens.

anyone who buys recaros instead of getting the premium package and isnt building a track car where they need the 5 point harness is a dumb anyway
>>14447586
I started out with European and Japanese cars of the kind that have to be horse whipped to the max to get any speed out of them
so naturally I am a bit dismissive of seemingly lazy American cars
at limit I would say American cars are more difficult to drive
so long as one is careful with the throttle they can be fast but its just annoying to me how much power and speed is wasted
>>14452046

No, I mean Johnson Controls who bought out Recaro a few years ago.
>>14451844
I think the two-tone looks pretty neat. The cut pattern could be more interesting, but its not a luxury car after all. Seats are comfy and well bolstered.

Only if you buy the GT and don't have a black interior (come on, you are spending so much, mind as well get something along with the black, like red on black or orange on black, w.e).

Sounds like a bunch of excuses. Next you're going to tell me how you can gut the interior and take out the AC, radio, and spare tire to save weight.
