Riiiight. You just needed to give yourself an excuse to move to another vehicle and you felt like the world needed to know. Cars don't go from driving like BMWs and MBs to driving like a pinto in 2 weeks.

You better slow your roll there cupcake. You went from insulting me to insulting all the members on this forum and now you're trying to insult another member AND bringing content from your Mustang forum over here. You're gonna earn a one way ticket to ban-ville real quick if you keep it up.

So will the PP2 be a stripped down GT with just ultra suspension mods and come in at a lower price? Or will it be a higher up GT and cost much more than the SS? And if it does get that high in price then it will definitely be at non-R Shelby pricing. Or will the PP2 take the place of the non-R Shelby and then they will still have the underwhelming underperforming overpriced GT350-R? I'm not really sure what their plan is. And I'm not sure why they gave the 18s a new body style and not the Shelby. Maybe they're trying to branch the Shelby off like the Corvette is to the Camaro. In which case the PP2 fully optioned will be priced slightly under a base Shelby...and then they can offer different trim levels for the Shelby. Thoughts?

I didn't think the brakes were any better than the 5th Gen Camaro SS brakes. At least the Camaro SS gave you Brembos all the way around. The S550 GT with PP gave you Brembos in the front only. WHich is stupid and cheap as hell...just typical of Ford.

And yea it is a learning curve. If I could go back I would never have bought that GT. I had remorse before I even got home and it tanked in value like you would believe. And it had just over 6000 miles and was 2 years old when I got rid of it. Never again.

Really? Really? I insulted you? Why are you so angry with me?

You got mad that I posted an opinion on the 2018, you brought up my car, then you called it garbage, then you called me poor and broke and a fanboy. But sure you're insulted.

Technically, I think ALL Mustangs are garbage...not just yours. And you are broke and a fanboy so that was just me calling it as I see it. And I never said I felt insulted. I don't care enough about Mustang people to ever feel insulted by anything they say. I said that you were throwing insults. But now you're an innocent little Mustang-victim. Here's the thing, nobody cares bro. The S197 was garbage. The S550 is garbage. The Shelby is a POS. And the 18 will be an overhyped expensive POS. It might be slightly faster than the current GT. But I'm not expecting anything thrilling from the Ford camp.

I just did a build on the site and getting a GT the way I want it comes out to $56,475. And some other options I wanted couldn't even be combined. So OTD I would be over $60K which puts me right on the heels of a brand new ZL1. And it will perform nowhere even close. SMH.

Lol ok. This is just because I enjoy responding to nonsense with facts... last 2 stubs..

What does FORD say about the '17 vs. the '17?

a.k.a.

What do you do when your car is totally outclassed in every way by the competition, but you were forced to come up with a youtube video anyway...

Compare 2017 Chevy Camaro vs 2017 Ford Mustang | Head to Head | Ford

Throw up a bunch of historical BS and a single KBB stat ...

.... no really we're better because ... um ... well ... yeah that!

Yes, MSRP is high. My opinion is that one should never pay MSRP for a vehicle, if you are then you arent even trying to get a good deal. I dont like that they raised the prices, I wanted the curb weight to come down 150-200lbs, but it might still outsell the camaro at these prices.

The best way to get a great deal on a GT is to wait for the rental car companies inventory turnover. Lots of low mile cars at low, low prices. From what I've read, most guys are going to use that great Mustang aftermarket to completely rebuilt it anyway.
