Be honest, how many are thinking of going with the new S650 Mustang now? - Page 7

I suppose I would rather have a Mustang than no ICE muscle car. Not my go to though, as I prefer 4 passenger vehicles!

No thanks, I’ll hang on to my 5th Gens.

- Updated tech - Rain sensing wipers, front parking sensors/camera, MyMode, ZMode, etc.

Yes. It breaks my heart when I think of what Chevy and GM are walking away from. The once great auto maker will end up fading into the background of a sea of crossovers and EVs. It goes without saying that I will keep my personal cars.

I also think GM is in for a rude awakening if they believe that they can replace their ICE trucks with EVs. The passenger trucks and large SUVs are what is keeping the company afloat as of right now. A sudden move away from ICE trucks will plummet their market share, and even here Chevy and GM have very close rivals. We now have Hyundai as well as Toyota and other brands cutting into the large SUV and passenger truck market.

You do realize they consider the Camaro a pony car?

Yes but Camaro isn't a horse name

Mustang is one though

Gen6cyl · 09-23-2022, 06:30 AM

Mustang, the first and the last , made every year , always rear drive. Maybe Ford does have a better idea.

But it is not a mustang (horse) pony. The original Mustang was very popular amongst the female population.

Ford Mustang may have a better Idea, and Mustangs do sell very good, but Camaro always was the better car.. Camaro always was rear wheel drive.

NEVER!!!!! I'd rather push my Camaro than buy any Ford!

Gen6cyl · 09-23-2022, 10:22 AM

I agree Camaro is the better car . I respect Ford for starting and sticking with it. I was referring to Chrysler going fwd with the charger.

I had a 2018 GT Premium with MagneRide, PP1, and A10. It was a great car, but sold it after acquiring my '21 ZL1 1.5 years ago and haven't looked back. I also have a '22 Supra 3.0 on the way, so no Mustang is likely in my near or mid-term future. The Dark Horse will be near ZL1 money, for Mach 1 performance. No thanks.

That said, if God forbid something happens to my ZL1 and I couldn't get another new or low mileage 21+ ZL1, my first choice to replace it would be a 22 GT500 since I have kids, or potentially a '19 Z06 (if its in the near future and they aren't too old by then) but then I'd need a daily that fits my kids. If that isn't an option, then I'd consider the S650 Shelby variant in the future assuming the price is reasonable.

That said, replacing my ZL1 with a Mustang, unless it's a S550 GT500, would be a major downgrade, no matter the trim. I think I would broaden my search to other similarly priced performance cars (new and low mileage used) before settling for a S650 Mustang GT or Dark Horse.

Yeah the first was a rebodied Falcon

The Rustang 2 was rebodied Pinto

What a glorious history

I remember the first Mustang commercials from when I was a kid

The stampeding ponies and the blurb Mustang is coming or something like that

I bought a 1965 Mustang 6cyl when I was 14 for $250.00 and flipped it for $500.00

A bunch of months of shoveling driveways and mowing lawns and cleaning the local grocery store lot and floors got me $600.00 more

I wanted a 68 Pontiac Beaumont SD 396 and needed $1100 I bought it but my parents made me resell it.... my father said I would kill myself

I can laugh now but I was one bummed out 15-year-old

So that's my Mustang story

Gen6cyl · 09-24-2022, 01:20 PM

In 03 or 04 I got a 02 Camaro v6 manual for $12k ,had about 12 k miles on it. I had it about 6 months and I drove a 02 mustang 4.6 manual. The car was like new ,but drove awful. The Camaro v6 was better in every way except maybe durability. I think both have gotten a lot better. No doubt the 3.8 was excellent.
