    Is the Pony Package worth it?

    I finally came to a decision regarding my car purchase. For a while I toyed around with the idea of getting a GT. I also considered the new Eclipse and a 350z, but I came back to the Mustang for its price, looks and value. And now I've decided to go with the V6. To me, 90 more horses just isn't...

    V6 vs GT

    Wow! I didn't know that. Only one wheel is powered? That just seems... dangerous.

    Wheel Options

    Hey Randy, what are these? They look terrific! :hail2: Also, did you lower your car?

    Are fewer people coming to the forums?

    Hey, where'd you get that avatar from? :D

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    That's interesting, about the skidpad rating. I was always under the belief that FWD cars handled better than RWD cars. Not sure where I got that from, but that's what I've believed. But it does seem like the Mustang would be the better handler, simply from the more-balanced weight...

    Some pics of my Street Scene kit/spoiler.

    Awesome! :hail2: That's exactly how the car should've looked coming off the assembly line!

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Well, it's not THAT much heavier. Maybe a hundred pounds or so? Like I said before, I'm not sure if I'll miss those 37 horses or not. And I like the rear end! :) I thought they did an excellent job of integrating the spoiler. Certainly much better than the Mustang's tacked-on, after-thought...

    Haha. We'll see, we'll see.

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    I understand where you're coming from, but it's a free market and most consurmers are making their choice on a mixture of quality, performance, looks and prices. The fact that foreign automakers have been outdoing American automakers in these areas has been evidenced by their increasing share of...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    I think it's pretty clear that the Mustang easily beats the Eclipse in performance. I'm not even sure I would categorize the Eclipse as a "performance" car. It seems to be more of a mixture of car types. The question is rather the total package of the Eclipse provides a better driving experience...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    That my indeed be true. There's few things sexier than a rumbling muscle car. :cheers:

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    :D Thank you. I must say that I've been impressed by the responses in this forum. I thought for sure somebody was gonna jump down my throat and eviscerate me for even considering a car other than the Mustang. But really, I was looking for reasons to "come back" to the Mustang. And you...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Yeah, one reviewer compared the front end of the Eclipse to a Pontiac. Ouch! :D

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Yeah, I've gotten the "girl's car" comment from a few people. I'm pretty secure in my masculinity though, so that really wouldn't deter me. It's really more about how the car "feels" when I drive it, if it feels like an extension of me. How it looks on the outside is important, definitely, but...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Since the Eclipse is made in Illinois, I don't feel very guilty about potentially buying it. I don't really care which suits get the money, as long as the workers are American. But be that as it may, it's always a good idea for a consumer to buy the best product at the best price out there...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    Perhaps that's why I like it so much. I'm a great admirer of the female form! :cheers:

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    I was all set on buying a Mustang, GT of course, but then I saw the new Mitsubish Eclipse. I must say, I was impressed. So now I'm leaning towards getting the Eclipse. Here's how they compare in my mind: Performance: Mustang wins with 37 more HP. Handling: Without having driven either...

    Camaro

    Aztec Uh, yeah. The Aztec has to be the worse-looking car I've ever seen. It's the kind of design that, when you see it on the road, you just kind of go "Huh?"! :notnice: What, in god's name, were they smokin' when they put that one out? :shrug:

    Camaro

    New Camaro That's an awesome design. :nice: But since it's so cool, it'll never get built by GM. That company is a straight-up dinosaur. Maybe some other automaker can buy the rights to the Camaro name/heritage and produce something like this, but not GM. I love the Mustang, but...

    Why 4.6?

    Vroom, Vroom! That was sexy! I so need to buy this car.
