so is GM's...haven't you seen transformers?

[SubXer0]

man those videos were sweet the new mustang is awesome

[240ka]

GM's only outlet seems to be through the movie only. seems to me they dont have many marketing dollar, imean they are broke right now.

Ford is going a totally different direction.

and i actaully think the camaro is hideous. the design is way too busy and confusing.

if it looked similar to the proto in part 1, haavent seen the 2nd movie yet. the camaro would look good.

but the modern but retro look. mixed with the clean but edgy look. and the rear looks weird. and the front is even weirder. on top of the that, the hood is too much. it makes the car look like it has a mohawk to me

[240ka]

man those videos were sweet the new mustang is awesome

hell yeah, ford is taping into different demographics with their marketing.

and the New Stang with the import feel that it has really looks good in japan. shall i say

[SubXer0]

^ exactly most of their cars are looking really good these days even the taurus is sick which i never in my life thought i'd say and the MKZ is just beautiful

[240ka]

bro, i totally agree. i have heard people talking shit abou tthe ford flex even. and i think that looks good too.


yeah, those MKZ's have a Infiniti M feel to them.

i saw one a few weeks ago and couldnt believe how badass it is

[6SpeedTA95]

you get a 2010 you will completely regret it next year...

[240ka]

i doubt it.

but im going to wait year for prices to drop. but im getting one. put a pretty sizely single turbo on it.

get some hot wheels with a nasty offset and a drop. to give it that import feel.

im excited now

[6SpeedTA95]

i doubt it.

but im going to wait year for prices to drop. but im getting one. put a pretty sizely single turbo on it.

im excited now

Why on earth would you get a 2010? when the new motor gets put in next year? 400hp DOHC 5.0 with a 6 speed manual...that sir is worth the wait and then some.

[eg6motion]

meh, new camaro vs new mustang... the mustang basically looks like the current model but both interiors look like balls

[Nismothecat]

from what ive read the new mustang is pretty sick. i kinda like the 05 body style better though. i do see alot of the new ones on the road.

[Nismothecat]

put some crazy low offset Works on there to give it the import feel.

[6SpeedTA95]

Looks is subjective, I think the new camaro interior looks great and both the mustang and camaro interiors are built pretty well.

[5-4-fighting]

Forget the Mustang, it's garbage. Wait to see if Ford brings the Focus RS to the states. Pure hotness.

[sleeperstang199]

Forget the Mustang, it's garbage.

lawl so says the guy with a minvan for an avatar. The RS isn't coming just wasn't meant to be.

RS FTW...

thats exactly wwhat im talking about. badass

starts looks like it has a tad of skyline in its blood

[240ka]

from what ive read the new mustang is pretty sick. i kinda like the 05 body style better though. i do see alot of the new ones on the road.

yep

they are slower and perform worse than the 370z but thats to be expected. but they are running 13.5s in the 1/4 and pulled a .96 on the skidpad. who would have thought a stang would have donne that

they handle much better than before

[240ka]

lawl so says the guy with a minvan for an avatar. The RS isn't coming just wasn't meant to be.

actually as of recent. ford changed their mind again and said they are once again Briinging it to the states.

hopefully they do. ford will be able to compete in many markets now. the RS is just another badass weapon for them

[TheMAN]

you suck at the linking
copy/pasting FTL

[my3needsaname]

Seriously...let's see that POS Camaro or that crap Challenger beat that. I doubt they can, Ford is the shit right now.

It looks the same...and nothing like an import or "skyline". Nothing like ricer comments about a mustang.

[EvilJen]

OMG, I hate when people call it a "stang".

It's a Mustang! Sheesh! :p

And FWIW, I think the sloping front end makes it look like it's got downs syndrome.

I feel people calling a WRX a REX is worse. And even worse when they write it out. But yeah I don't like the stang thing either.

Hey now...dont diss the REX'ers :P i think thats a helluva lot better than white trash screamin stang or 'maro

[Peter B]

It is nice to see ford putting some balls into their products. I am not a big mustang fan (except the classics). The few I have driven weren't that fast and handled like a ford taurus.... that is to say big, heavy, and lots of body roll. It seems like often when you buy a mustang the most impressive thing you get is the emblem. It often seems to be a car that doesn't live up to its name, or price tag.

Before I get flamed for this, note I am saying MANY, not ALL mustangs. I know there are some that are still quick.

I think the 3rd gen mustangs are some of the worst looking cars on the road. They are horrible, down right offensive. The engineer who designed them should be fired, beaten and shot for making such an icon so ugly. Furthermore it often seems like the third gens are driven by some of the biggest assholes as well.

Anyhow, the current gen is a nice looking car. I don't know much about their performance. It will be nice to have a car that performs as good as it looks.

[diddiyo]

don't buy a 2010 mustang if you don't need a new car right away and can wait another year. the 5.0L V8 will return for 2011. and who knows if/when they're gonna put that sick ecoboost V6 in the mustang.

big improvements coming up!

[irnbru83]

'05 Mustang generation has ridiculous understeer, so enjoy that. Complete opposite of my T/A that had the world's most incredible oversteer.

[240ka]

agreed Nismo...

i def get an import vibe off this new design. and to those, i wasnt saying it looks like a skyline like that. i was saying, it puts me in mind of the skyline from certain angles with the way its sitting. but its def gives me a jdm vibe. Ford is coming back

but i cant wait to get one. going to be badass once im done. upgraded supension, sick offset, big single turbo.

MS3 is getting traded once the 5.0's come

motor trend: Mustang
13.4-13.5 in the 1/4 @104.

but its still not on par with the 370z which motor trend achieved. 13.3 at 107 and .99 skid pad. and car and driver achieved 13.1 at 108 in the 1/4. that VQ37 is beasting.

but for a mustang. im impressed
MT achieved 13.4-13.5 in the 1/4 @104 and a .96 on the skidpad in the 2010 Mustang GT

Yeah the .96 on the pad is not bad at all for a solid rear axle

[240ka]

Yeah, its about time they stopped using live rear axles

[eg6motion]

Yeah, its about time they stopped using live rear axles

+1. Great for straight lines, but I think independent rear would make the car quite a bit better.

[Sport6]

Ya the 03/04 Cobras had independent rear, and its not like those things don't put down the power.

That's funny. I love Foxbodies. Had a 89 LX 5.0 w/mods, badass car, far more badass than any Mazdaspeed, and I own two Mazdaspeeds, and love Mazdas in general. But let's not kid ourselves here, foxbodies are light, make crazy tq, and with a few mods are ridiculously fast.

I think the Fox bodies are probably the last true muscle car, and while they did have a few less attractive years (79-86, though the SVOs were sweet) I wouldn't call them ugly. Its definitely not the worst looking car around.

[Knox Joe]

I've actually got a Foxbody sitting next to my MSP in the garage...

not mine, but it's nice to look at.

[Peter B]

...ick. I always thought they looked like econoboxes. Like they were just a mocked up version of the tempo or escort. They always looked kind of cheap to me too. Not saying they weren't fast, just not aesthetically pleasing. But then again there are a lot of things from that era that were not aesthetically pleasing.

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k79/nismothecat/MUSTANGVOLK.jpg

Not disputing that, Mustangs are among the only Ford vehicles I like... I'm just not seeing a connection with it giving an Import feel. It's a Mustang and any Mustang doesn't take you back to the 60's Mustangs, is fail.

Though there is that Gen of Mustang which we do not speak of. (squinty)

b/c i was talking about the the 2010 having an import feeling to it. not the one he posted. he was just showing how good they look with a good offset.

look at vids part 2 and 3.

[Nismothecat]

i think what 240 meant was the 05 looked very retro. while the new Mustang does not have as much of a retro feel as the last generation.


also there is an import style. id say a Mustang with a carbon hood and trunk, a mild lip kit, dropped with some low offset wheels. would be my idea of giving it an import feel. hell even throw some Bride seats in there.

[BOOSTR]

I saw a test drive of the 2010 on Speed channel. I did notice some changes from the 05(which I do not like) as they look like the 60s era stangs. I like the looks and would seriously consider adding another Stang to my stable. Give me the solid axle over the IRS any day. As for grip there is nothing that cannot be improved with an order from MaximumMotorsports.

it looks closer to the "original" mustang then the 06s did because it doesnt look as fat IMO.
there is nothing "import" about it
it does not look like it has skyline in it...

i like the refresh alot, and think it looks much better then the 06-09 models

yeah, i used to like the 05-09 the best as well as the 93 FB's and terminators but the 2010 has taken that spot. but im with you Nismo and SB

im still a fan of the foxbody. my mom has a 93 LX but no 5.0 sitting in the garage sitting there ready for a V8

but i still remember the statetroopers riding in FB 5.0's.

gangsta

[SubXer0]

truth be told my favorite "modern mustangs were the 2003-2005 cobras...

Couldn't agree more the 05 Cobra was my absolute favorite mustang ever

[squidmotion]

asked wife if she wanted another mustang (she loved her notchback LX 5.0 5spd)... we thought about it, and i like the way they look alot.... but they wanted a bit more, and it just didn't have the feel i was looking for. i would have had to mod the crap out of it, to make it suit me....i've had enough RWD front V8 stuff, and wanted something different...

i think to compare the new pony (there ya go) to an import like ours is an apples to oranges thing. i can see a bit of edge in the design, but all car companies are doing these things, and it is good... i guess i still notice to much of the old retro cues to think import... this generation mustang is one of the nicest looking ones, to me...

what i do like about the mustang... no end of choices for any modification you could ever dream of.... massive aftermarket support... huge fan base..... lotsa info on how to make one fast, and they can be VERY fast. they are always fun to modify, and fun cars to drive... i feel more at home in that platform... FWD performance takes a bit of getting used to... :)

and man, they sound so nice with a good exhaust.... i've owned a few chevrolet mustang killers, but i've never heard cars sound as sweet as a mustang with the old borla system....

[Frisco speed3]

This vid was cool I actually was at YZ circuit(vid chapter 3 w/DK) less than a month ago, and I got to go for a ride with Tetsuya Hibino, a pro D1 driver. I wish we had small courses like that to play around on where pro's just show up regularly. As for cars I'll stick with light weight imports. If you would have seen what some of the guys there were doing with lightly modded ae86's, s13's, and even te70 corollas you'd really appreciate how driver skill trumps power. But thats my 2 cents.

There's no reason to descriminate. I currently own an AE86, and have owned Camaros, Mustangs, etc. You're not thinking into it enough. What if you couple that same driver skill with a muscle car with lot's of power?

Look at Formula D.
