2015 Mustang
 

So let me get this straight. Ford integrates the cats into the headers now, so you MUST buy longtubes if you want to get rid of the cats, power increase by onle 15hp and tq increase by only 10hp, it's uglier and weighs more as well? Thank God I have a S197.

Which is why orders right now are lower than what they thought they'd be.

Disappointing. I'll take a 2014 on the cheap add the 15's are coming out.

Lol Ford fails again, yet they will somehow make record sales again like they always do.

You would "have to" buy headers to ditch the cats, but now you can keep your stock down tubes. Doesn't that beat buying longtubes AND a mid-pipe?

This is model changeover 101. Upgrade to a new platform and bring over slightly modified drivetrains. The big changes will come in a few years. Besides, this year they are heralding the introduction of EcoBoost in the Mustang so they don't want to take away from that with a high-power V8.
Styling is subjective but I think that car will really appeal to people in their mid-late 20s that are getting their first good job and coming out of the tuner scene. You know - the people that most of us were ten years ago.

For the record, I'm keeping my '12 GT. But if something happens to it, I'll be eyeing the new Mustang for sure. I'll also be eyeing C6Zs, lmao.

Hey now, I am just now mid to late-20s...but I will admit I was in ther tuner scene when I was 15...playing Playstation and Need for Speed. :lol:

Anyone who picks a Mustang over a C6Z for a toy/hot rod needs their head examined. And if a fast car with more than two seats are needed, there is better options out there for going faster for the same money.

Now if someone is a diehard Mustang guy, it's understandable if one is interested in the 15's. Personally, I just can't wrap my head around dropping $40k on a 420hp N/A Stang with a questionable motor in it.

News flash, not everyone wants to be fastest, or wants to live with a 5-10yr old hot rod that's been beaten on its whole life.

There is something to be said for having a nice car with modern styling and features that is fairly fast and still brand new.

If that doesn't flip your skirt, that's fine, Ford has made a car that a lot of people want.

As I said in my previous statement, I was referring to the people buying them as a toy and/or hot rod who have an interest in having a fast, fun street car. I wasn't referring to people like you who are okay with slow stock power to cruise around town. (Which btw ate a motor under stock power/tune) I wasn't referring to the people who just are looking to buy a new car.

Your oldest C6Z is nine years old at this point with the 15's coming out. For $40k, you can buy a 08-10 C6Z that has been very pampered.

There is a number of other cars that can be purchased as well for $40k that would be in great condition if you shop well. Supra, CTS-V, GS Vette, GenII/III Viper, Pre-13 GT500, older 911's etc. Tons of nice cars can be had out there at that price point. Not everyone beats the snot out of their cars. I'd be willing to bet our 03 Mach is as nice, if not nicer than your 12 GT since you drive it every day in all weather and beat on it hard.

I agree with you, Ford has built a Mustang a lot of people will want. Diehards will certainly love the car. If someone who is looking for a NEW car, as a fun sporty commuter, the Mustang will be a decent pick, though an expensive one for what you are getting. You even said yourself you were eye'n a C6Z admitting it's a great bang for the buck. It's a great time to be a car guy SO many options out there. :)

Such passive aggression! LMAO!

I can't argue with this logic. I like the new mustang but my next toy will be either a vette or a viper. I have a couple years to think about it so I will decide then. Granted this is something I would buy just for a toy, not to drive everyday. That being said if I was buying a car for a daily it would be a CTS-V, after riding in Steve's car that is what I would buy.

Not at all. Just a discussion, but you can read into it any way you like. /shrug.

You should ride in it now. :D

one of these days

Yeah, it's me reading into it, LMFAO! You got issues dude. I bet my 59k mile beater is at least as clean as that godawful dust collector in your garage.

You must be bored, Danny. Trolling over this? lol.

Who is trolling?

See, for the average person this is just not true. You can't get a loan for a 20yr old Supra like you can a '14 stang. You never seem to think about that part

Sure you can through a credit union or a specialty finance company like Hagerty's.

It's been fun, but I'm heading home. Hope it still starts!

Just pay cash you broke bitches.

Says the guy trying to make a fox VERT fast

Its pretty but that thing is slower than your hair growth and my metabolism. Lol

His old heap would smoke your POF. Literally. Lol.

Who is trying to make a fox vert fast? You must have me confused with somebody else. I've spent my money trying to get the car running the way I want to, sitting the way I want it to and looking the way I want it to. I've really done nothing to make it faster.

lol

Does it have a blower on it?

Starting on that tonight. I'm starting to get annoyed by not knowing what's wrong.

Had a blower on it when I bought it. Not my fault you bought a car without a blower

I just asked a question, quit assuming stuff over there

i didnt see or hear anything bad friday night. Id have that last thing you had done checked again by who did it.


bahahaha. Score!

I think I will pull the hose off to see if it still does it. If it doesn't then I know that is the problem. Probably the easiest test I can come up with. I am also going to do a combustion leak test on the cooling system to check for a head gasket, since the heads aren't studded and do a compression check. I think in that order, since I think its one of the first 2 now. If I pull the hose and it stops the problem it will be fixed asap.

The fuck is that supposed to mean?:iranmaybe:

I see what you did there...

How was I assuming anything. I responded to your comments, nothing further. Quit being so sensitive Nancy

Donnie, if u dont have water in the oil, a blown hg is un likely... if u have oil in the radiator, its lifting the heads on boost... does it run hot or have low oil psi?

No water in the oil but like stated that doesn't mean anything. I have had more head gaskets put pressure in the cooling system, then I have water in the oil. I know that's odd but has usually been my luck. I am checking the cooling system for exhaust gases either tonight or tomorrow night, picked up the tester today.

2015 mustang is nice but they messed up a few things. Why add a stitched dashboard but not door panels? The crappy door panels negate all the luxury feel the dashboard added. Plus no premium trim level v6 for those who want a nice v6. Also $40k for a fully loaded ecoboost coupe and $44k for a fully loaded ecoboost vert? Way too much!

I tried 2 CUs and neither would accept a loan for a vehicle over 10 years old.

Very True. Even if they give you the loan the terms and length of it are gonna make the payment high. Buy a Fiesta lots more fun and it will drag caddies through the twisties.

my old pos vert would make that Fiesta look like, well, a Fiesta in turns....
