    A 2012 Gt Or A 2015 V6

    That is a GREAT response. Thanks. It mirrors the evolution of my plans. There is a 2012 Black on Black GT, Brembo, 3.73 nearby, Ford Certified w/18K miles and brand new tires. I'm pretty sure I'm going to commit to it this weekend. Black on Black would not have been my first choice, but it...

    New Forum Questions, Answers, Feedback, and things that make you go, "Hmmmmm"

    I don't seem to have a quick navigation icon at the top or bottom. It's tricky to navigate. Also, I'm looking for a General Mustang Forum and there doesn't seem to be one here. You can only talk about the specific generations. Is that right?

    A 2012 Gt Or A 2015 V6

    Wow! No replies. Does anyone even follow the S197s or are they history?

    A 2012 Gt Or A 2015 V6

    Hello, all. This is my first post in a long time. I used to post here when I had my 1997 Cobra, but that was a while ago. Now I have the bug again. I'd like to afford a new GT. They are really pricey. They are too expensive. So I'm looking for an alternative. For about $24K I can get either a...

    So I went to test drive am 05 GT today...

    If you only like red or black, you're a little inflexible. By the way, if you haven't seen new 'stang without the interior upgrade package (brushed alumminium dash) you're in for a treat. The standard interior looks spectacular with the Mineral Grey exterior. I'd just get a stripper of...

    C&D tests an '05 Mustang V6

    I like light and fast steering. Remember one finger power steering? That's how the '60s cars steered. I thought it was one of the more endearing features. Crappy skid pad numbers? That's not crappy skid pad numbers. It might not be a Lotis Elise but it's a lot better than it used to be.

    Mach 1 vs 05??

    He didn't ask 'faster' he just asked for comparisons. Yes, there are comparisons. The '05 is better in every respect and a Mach 1 used is overpriced at $19,000. I'd go $15,500, tops.

    torch red w/ red accent int pkg..your thoughts?

    I don't like red on a mustang to begin with, but I test drove a Red/Red and it looked better than I thought it would. It's a lot of red though. IMHO Satin Silver or Mineral Grey would go better. White would probably look good too (w/red).

    '97 Cobra 'vert' or '05 GT

    Thanks, I appreciate the input. But now, tell me, is a convertable a good idea? Are they noticably heavier to drive or more rattle prone than the GTs?

    GOING TO ORDER MY 05 GT TOMORROW.......

    Could someone explain this in depth? What and how much and how does one qualify for and get the X plan, the A plan and the $500 rebate?

    '97 Cobra 'vert' or '05 GT

    My '05 GT is on order. ($100 down and $500 over invoice). But I'm scared as hell of the payments. There's a beautiful, beautiful low mileage '97 Cobra convertable available around here for $14,000. About half the new car investment. And it probably won't depreciate as fast. Probably...

    Decision Time: GT or No GT?

    I changed mine from Lime Metalic w/tan interior to Silver Satin w/red interior. I think that will be more than beautiful, but after seeing the Mineral Grey Metallic, I'm not sure, again. I saw the Mineral Grey Metallic without the interior upgrade pagkage, just black leather. Boy, talk about...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    This is the dumbest statement I've ever read. :spot:

    Decision Time: GT or No GT?

    I just saw a Mineral Grey at the dealer today. I just saw a Windveil Blue at the other dealer yesterday. Truth. The Mineral Grey is twice the look of the Windveil Blue. Absolutely. Windveil Blue is not what you think it is. It's not like the 1970 Camarro SS Blue. It's just drab. The...

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    :stupid: There's no point to hotting up a V-6. There isn't enough to work with. Just get a V-8 if hotting up is what you're going to do..

    Is Windveil Blue a feminine color?

    I just saw a Windveil Blue 'stang at the dealers' today. In my opinion, it's vary bland. Nothing to write home about. The name 'Windveil' kind of suggests softness or femmininity but the color itself is unremarkable either way.

    Whats up with C&D???

    They really don't care for anything smellin' 'merican. I thinbg the 'stang's just too red state for them. The GTO at least LOOKS like a Celica.

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    The only things wrong with the V-6 is that Ford didn't make them aluminium blocks like the V-8s so as to save fronnt end weight, which would have really made them worth while. Also, real dual exhausts as an option should have been extended. Hell, the V-6s make more power than the V-8s did a few...
