Wayfarer 30 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am a huge car fan and I own a mustang so caught my attention. https://www.yahoo.com/news/talked-ohio-ford-dealer-selling-164500085.html Pretty good deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Okay, hands up everyone who saw the title of the post and thought it was a Boeing 727 derivative? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 30 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Sorry. I probably should have rounded it off to 800hp or wrote off topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yardbird78 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That is just THE THING to give your 16 year old kid who has had their driver's license for all of two weeks! :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Maybe I can send my '15 GT for an upfit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That's pretty incredible. I spent thousands on my '95 Mustang and never even came close to the performance that comes with the new stock GT's. I did sit in a '15 and while I think they're great cars my 6'5 frame said nope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Cartwright Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm kind of a Mustang guy and was already familiar with it, so I knew what it was about from the headline. Very tempting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ford has really hit a homerun with this Mustang. People love the design, options, power and its affordability. In April Ford sold almost as many Mustangs as the Camaro and Challenger combined (a feat its done 4 times in the last year). I think its been the top selling sports car in North America for nearly 20 months in a row or something like that. Sure is a sweet ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been sticking money into my 03 and I am nowhere near 700hp. You have an excellent engine for modding. 5.0 correct? I love the 4.6 but it takes serious $$ compared to the 5.0 to get any respectable HP. Cams and necessary valve Springs ran $1100. And it was chore to put them in and figure out a decent tune to make it all happen as it should. My car was down for a week wich relegated me to driving my escort. Sad.

Neo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Damit, why cant i live in the states!! In canada the same thing would be at leat 60k because somehow crossong out border makes all cars way more expensive for some odd reason. Ill just have to live with my gti mk6 with 200hp and 200 torque although the stage 1 chip bumps it to 300+ for 500$ Edited May 14, 2016 by Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only problem was the money sunk into modding one part revealed another weak link. After that mess I quit modding base GT's and just bought whatever SVT made and enjoyed it. I briefly thought about a '13 Boss 302, but after sitting in a Challenger I don't think I'll ever own a mustang again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Forget the imports, cars made in Canada and shipped to the U.S. cost less in the U.S. then they do in Canada ;). Now that would irritate me far more then the cost of an import car.

I owned one with a DSG as a daily driver and no, not even a close, maybe a six cylinder moosetang. Still, buy the apr stage 1 especially now you don't have to worry about the ecu. It's a great mod.

I've ordered a '16 5.0 GT here in the UK, and there's a 12 month waiting list - so I'm still nine months away from it arriving... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lighter weight, better transmission, unless it was a highly modified mustang you should have taken it. Plus eventually at the end of every straight line you have to turn!

Maybe RWD is too much for some people. Edited May 15, 2016 by Wayfarer 30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol yeah this aint the 70s mustang do handle allot better. But ive diven both a 2012 GT and my 2012 GTI and the cornering is not even close, the gti has road glue. But even with a stage 1 theres no ways in hell it will beat a 727hp mustang! Oh and btw im 6gears for life. The only way im getting an automatic car is if i get my left foot cut off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
