Don't listen to anyone who hates on it, not everyone needs to feel like their interior is having sex with them. And any mustang will steal the visual thunder from any euro or exotic, and with a bit of money can go just as fast.

Uh...

All the "bad ass" mustangs are base model mustangs with a bunch of bulges and vents tacked on. Case in point:

OMGZ IT HAS SIDE SCOOPS TO COOL THE BRAKES!11 Wait no, mustang brakes already fade fast as hell... Maybe they cool the radiator in the back? Nope, it's up front. Maybe they actually provide some aerodynamic advantage.. Nope. Just drag. Hmm..

What about the fifteen front lips and splitters? The top two are needed because 6 square feet of frontal grill area isnt enough, amirite? Then the splitter is needed because this is a race car and it needs all the downforce possible. There's no messing around on this car, no useless bullshit. Oh wait.

I don't like the looks all that much, I much prefer the 94-98 SN95 platform.

They aren't as heavy as a lot of the other sports cars out there today, which is pretty awesome.

Also think they are a little expensive for what they are, then again they are new, I just don't like spending money.

Overall if I had the money I'd probably buy one just because I'm a Mustang fanboy.

Yeah, I like Mustangs pretty well. They're more-or-less affordable speed, and plenty of fun to drive. Plus, upgrades are readily available.

The downside is everyone and their uncle has one, and it seems like every one has cheap ass stickers and body kits and other shit.

I don't know whats up with the economy car faggotry.

Don't you know there are people out there like me who sometimes burn 60+ litres in under 250km, enjoying knowing that they're undoing all the goodness that 10 priuses are doing?

On that note, I'm gunna go outside and rev my car a bit and see just how many carcinogens I can flood the atmosphere with because my car never came with a cat.

your corolla is a pos, i get the same gas milage as a corolla, but i'm alot faster, comfortable, and my car is way better looking... a corolla is like a maytag to me, an appliance with no soul.

Hehe, my gas guzzling polluting asshole on wheels costs less than $10 a week for me to get to work, probably less than $5 actually.

yeah i never said shit about having a mustang myself. and fucking nascar? you dont know shit really... i drive a 06 audi a4.. i get better milage than your shitty corolla, and i make as much hp and torque as a mustang gt, and last time i checked going to an autocross doesnt cost an arm and a leg... maybe its a poor people thing to put down people they feel threatened by, along with the ignorance, of course.

when it comes to cars, a real enthusiast wouldnt bitch about gas

http://www.raceart.net/Donahue_917.jpg

this thing gets shit milage, you think the owner/driver complained? no. they had fun burning the gas. you think people who race any sort of car complain about gas milage? no. you gotta pay to play...
