OK, so i will proubley get shot at for this....but i love the looks and the performance of the new mustangs coming out, i like how they look like the old ones. And frankly i was thinking about tradeing in my celica when they hit the market. But then again i wonder if FORD will live up to its title, " Fix Or Repair Daily " F.O.R.D. ? Anyways what do you guys think, i mean with a price tag of $25,000 for the most souped up version, it does sound tempting!
Thanks,
DJMC

mustangs SUCK and are slow....you can beat a stock mustang and come close to beating a GT mustang (with in 1/2 car length) with a st?!?!
but if you do...then get a black convertable those are just drop dead sexy with a stalker bodykit

Man Ill have what ever your smoking, besides the low end version that sits between 145hp-200hp the rest of the v8 models are between 215hp-390hp.

No stock st would beat any of those cars with equal drivers and trans, a gt would be a match for the low end mustang but after that they would kill. Mustangs are fast ass cars, yes heavy but if you have a svt cobra with 390hp you wont be worried about an extra 1000 pounds.

But I hate ford, I would by a celica over a Mustand anyday, the money you spend fixing the damn rustang you could do a swap on the celica and bring it up to par with the likes of the svt cobra.


Does anyone really know about recent ford quality?? Obviously 80's through 90's were total crap years, what about like 2000 and up? are they starting to smarten up? I know a buddy who had a 2001 cougar and the thing went through like 3 auto transmissions and a snapped steering column before no more major problems, and Im talking months after the purchase these things happened.
