Not as fast, but you are comparing 435 crank hp to 525 crank hp, and 3700 lbs to 3100 lbs.

The coyote wakes up at 3500 and pulls aaaaalll the way to 7k rpm where the rev limiter stops it. I love it, and it's bone stock.

The turbo car is a beast, and I can't remember exactly what I typed here before @madmike1157 came in and changed it because he doesn't like the new cars... So I'm leaving this instead.

Yeah,.... You were saying something about how it wasn't as civil and mild mannered as the new car. You went on to say that unlike the new car, the fox didn't forget the muscle car roots from whence it came. More road feel, and more of a visceral experience, w/ the smells, ride, and noise that can only have been appreciated by somebody that actually owned a 1970 mach 1.

I decided that some other S550 owner might take offense to that, so I "edited" it for you to be more conforming to the general populace.

Conforming, not like all the rest of you Mustang guys know anything about that.....

Nope no idea. There will be no conformity in my stable.

Davedacarpainter · Jul 19, 2016

I only conform to @RaggedGT 's silly ideas.

This hotel, silly. Too early to read?

*Disclaimer: and it's not technically vacation. My doc hasn't cleared me to go back to work yet, and says I should be excercising my leg in a pool. This is not far from where I live. Never tried it before. It's nice.

This Hotel was built in 1911. A lot of cool historic photographs, furniture and fixtures. It was modernized enough to make it comfortable while maintaining the cool factor.
^ Here is when it opened. My wife was amazed at the ladies in the long dresses in that crazy hot weather. No air conditioning back then!

What it looks like now:
Old mail drop box. The slot to drop letters in went all the way to the top of the building:

Lobby and bar

Then^

Now:

It was a great time. If any of y'all ever decide to stay a night in Galveston, check this place out. We really enjoyed it!

That's a beautiful hotel.

No new gt for Clay yet. Dealership wasn't even interested in budging on the price and were doing everything they could to add more to the sticker.

Man, sorry to hear that. I looked at used cars before I bought a new one. It seems anyone that had a performance pack car wanted top dollar. I wasn't concerned with all of the gadgets and leather, so I just went with a base gt with the performance pack. That option still gives you sync and a backup cam.. And it's a brand new car for 35k. I actually got mine out the door for 34k. It is a very nice car, zero complaints.

stykthyn · Jul 21, 2016

That was my feeling. I can get a brand new car for 34k. I was surfing Carmax and found similar cars to yours in the price range I was looking at. Just going to be patient. Maybe for Christmas.

Something to be said for buying a car no one else has beat on yet. Different people feel different ways, though. I keep cars a long time.. So the idea of saving money buying a lightly used one doesn't appeal to me that much. I like to get them new and use all their life up myself. My 08 f150 is paid for and will continue family pick up duty for 10 more years, hopefully. The money I paid for it, I'll get every penny out of it in use.

Boosted92LX · Jul 21, 2016

Also- my wife had an 08 Honda CRV. We kept it when we bought her new honda pilot last year. My son drove the CRV until his fox hit the road, now my oldest daughter is about to start driving it.. Waste not, want not.
