Red_SS/TC

Last night my friends and I met up and they wanted to race. My friend has a 08 Mustang GT with intake exhaust and a tune. My other friend has a not sure what year s2k with just a intake and im completely stock . Theres this deserted road that leads to a dead end that we went to. While getting to go line up my friend in the mustang gets next to me and we went from a 40 roll. I honestly thought he was going to kill me but it was the other way around. By the beginning of 4th i already had like 2 1/2 cars on him. So instead of lining up with the s2k I line up with the Gt from a dig. I also thought he was gonna kill me off the dig but i stayed right there with him through 1st and 2nd gear. Shifting into third I just started pulling and pulled to about 2 cars in front of him. I was so amazed at how much power this car has. After that we turn back around and the s2k still wants to race but from a dig. I didnt want to launch so i just let him launch and i took off normally then floored it. He had a car by 2nd but after that it was all done. By the middle of 4th I had at least 5 cars on him . I love my new car and its a huge upgrade from my old car a Tiburon v6(slow).

If you're bone stock than the Mustang owner needs to give his car to me, because he cant drive worth ****. Nice kills

Thats what I was thinking.

FutureEcotecOwner

What is that in your sig?

Perfect.disguise

2010 GT. Apearance package, glassroof, etc

FutureEcotecOwner

Is that yours?

Perfect.disguise

No. I looked at it and though about it. I decided I'm going to wait to see what engines they are going to put in them in the next year or two. I don't want it to be like my SS/SC..It's an 07..look at the 08 SS's. I do plan on either getting a new Stang or maybe a WS6 when I sale my Cobalt. Though a Termi is tempting.

My friend has the same exact mods as you do, I thought he was going to rape me.

I know what you mean. My 05 GT has 59k miles on it, runs strong, but for some reason I want an 09 or 2010. Only reason why I want an 09 is because there are still a ton out there that are new, but are selling for a used car price. The 2010's look good, and arent that much. But in the end, in 2011 the 5.0 is coming back, well supposed to as of now, so I wanna wait til next year to get a 2011, or 2012 depending on when they drop that 5.0 in them. 5.0, 400hp, 400lbs/tq N/A, exactly what Mustang owners have been looking for.

And when my SS/TC was stock, my Mustang would pull many lengths from a dig, and like 2-3 from a 40 roll. Now that my SS/TC has an intake/tune, my SS/TC pulls about 4 cars on my Mustang.

Yeah, the sticker on that thing was $37K!
I'm hoping they put the ecoboost in them aswell.

FutureEcotecOwner

There is a 2010 Red GT around here with 23 miles on it selling for 28k. And there are tons of 2009's selling for 24-25k. Although the Ecoboost will be a nice engine, I rather have the 5.0. Plus they are putting the Ecoboost in the new Taurus and Fusion I believe, plus AWD.

Perfect.disguise

The glassroof was a 2K upgrade alone. Nice car but you can do a lot better for the money. You could even find a used GT500 for 37K.

04YellowGT

Hell I've seen GT500s for as low as 32k and you can find them all over for 35k with 3-5k miles on them.

FutureEcotecOwner

Really? I havent checked on GT500's in like 8 months or so, and then you could find them for mid 40's, but never that low. Might have to check them out.

was not that impressed with the new gt. test drove one it was quick but not as fast as i was hoping. it was the 3:73 gears. handling was alright. wasnt that much better than the 07 gt i test drove that was an auto. well not worth an extra 16k

04YellowGT

Performance wise they aren't much better than the 05-09 but interior and ride wise they are 100X better.

Blainestang

$37k for a GT? No thanks.

And yeah, I hope they put an Ecoboost (I4 or V6) in the Mustang, too. There were rumors of a ~300hp Ecoboost I4 "SVO" that weighed ~500lb less than the GT about a year ago. If that happened, I'd own one.


My local dealer has a brand new '09 GT500 Convertible for $44,995.

Oh, and a brand new '10 GTs for $24,995.

drew1991sf

it had a decent ride. interior was cool but idk not worth it to me. would rather wait for the 5.0

Blainestang

Seriously, I can't imagine very many legitimate situations where buying a '10 would make sense.

I could understand buying an '09 at firesale prices, but if you want the new bodystyle, why not wait for the 5.0?

Plus, even if you're thinking V6, the '11 may have ~275hp instead of 210hp... AND who knows what's going to happen with the EcoBoost options.

WAY too much up in the air to buy a '10 at this point.

FutureEcotecOwner

Although 2010 is gonna be a good year for Ford, I still think it's a bust if you buy a 2010, instead of waiting 1 more year.

04YellowGT

I'm not saying its worth the money but its a hell of an upgrade from years past. I drove a 2010 GT500 this weekend and it pisses me off how much nicer the interior is than my 07.

Plus you can expect the 2011 with the new 5.0 to go up at least a few grand in price.

drew1991sf

ya but the 5.0 is gonna be worth the extra money over the 4.6
i personally would rather have the camaro but the mustang will be sick

FutureEcotecOwner

So wait and get the damn Mustang, LOL.

drew1991sf

camaro over a mustang all day

I think Ford is in a better financial situation, and the Mustang has been around for 46 years without missing a beat. Guess GM likes their Camaro being around every so often.
