Depends on the Enthusiast....Yeah lets be realistic.....The new Mustang my friend brand new is being marked at 30k +....although they say a starting price of 25k...yeah a V6....There all overpriced and ford is right there along with the rest!!!
Well I could have qouted about 50 different things from just about anyone, a lot of people are just, talkin $hIT, however....
This stood out, the '06 I test drove, not long ago, was going to cost me just under 27. I think you need to also, understand, this country is big! You're in one, small part of it.
Lets all, not be too presumptious, and wait and see. Not everything that Chevy's does as a good thing is going to be a bad thing for Ford. Maybe a new 400hp Camaro, if it's on a good chassis and actually runs good, will be good, it will require the mustang to get better, and, didn't it help....I think they washed each other's backs for a long time.
Anyways, the only thing I'm honestly not happy with is Saleen selling out, that is, if it's even true. I don't believe anything until I have absolute proof or a very good idea of some kind to base my presumptions, which this thread is not.
Who knows, we'll see. But, I'm telling you right now. GM isn't doing much better than Ford, although Ford is suffering still from lost profits from the '90's, if they keep their head up, and freaking design things properly, WHICH DOESN'T COST EXTRA MONEY, JUST ENGINEERING, eeuuhhmmm, they'll be fine, but don't think that GM is all too dandy, they're going through a huge transition right now, look how much of their lineup has almost no history, they're a very new product lately, so, I don't see them taking huge risks. And, a extremely well performing V-8 car will be easy for them, lots of room to guzzle gas, with their lineup and sales, the government is not on their a$s as bad as Ford (1million F150's a year doesn't help).
I will expect a base model to be competative in performance and price to the mustang, if they don't compete with the mustang, then they're not doing their job. Think about that long and hard, and you'll understand what the hell I'm talking about. Also, don't listen to a word a say, I'm just as biased as everyone else here. However, I'm not full of it. If I'm sitting in a 2000 Mustang GT, and my clone is sitting next to me in a 2000 SS, I know for a fact I'm losing, and you know what, it's ok, because after the race, my car will run good all the way home, it will have brakes, it can turn, and, it's nice to look at, inside and out.
K I'll post back in here in a few days, busy me. Catch ya's lata. Maybe tonght..
