the new ride. 2010 mustang =]
 
Well after selling my car I had to decide on the most difficult question. Muscle or Tuner. After test driving a lot of cars I went out and bought a 2010 mustang v6. stick shift ;] I know I know no handling at allllll. Still a fun car =] So wanted to post up a couple pictures and hear some opinions about it. Let me know what you guys think =]

well how do you like it?

PS, you shouldve invested in a camera

I8U 07-15-2009 07:09 PM

Yep no handling or balls...shoulda got V8. hehe

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:09 PM

P.S. I'm only 17 that's why i got the v6. Don't feel like adding another ticket to my record or killing myself =]

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:10 PM

lol true. pics are taken with phone camera =]

dozer 07-15-2009 07:12 PM

so why did you sell the 8 and get a mustang?

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:13 PM

My 8 was giving problems. Had to spend money week by week. it was a 2004 auto.. plus i got 8 tickets in 1 year with it lmaooo loved the car to much. still miss it. Mustang seemed like a good choice. Descent price. enough power.

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:14 PM

I don't blame the car though. Should have took better care of it.

dozer 07-15-2009 07:15 PM

8 tickets what the hell were you doing?

I won't knock the smarts of Mustang drivers again. That was a very wise move. And yeah, I probably would have killed myself with a V8 at that age.

Cell phone or not, at least shoot in the daylight! :lol:

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:16 PM

lmfaoo ALOT. Pulled over for stupid stuff. cops here are the worst. got a ticket for having a red LED license plate bulb -__-

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:17 PM

so i figure they wont pull over an American car as much as a tuner either.

dozer 07-15-2009 07:18 PM

well the new ones definitely look better than the older ones, good luck! good thing you went with the MT, a lot more fun

A serious ticket or just a "fix it ticket"? Either way, that's going a bit far.

Transam kid 01 07-15-2009 07:22 PM

Missing a couple cylinders....

Why not the Camaro V6? IIRC, it has more hp, better MPG, and similar price

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:22 PM

6 serious tickets. only 2 fix it tickets. tint and the LED light. and thanks dozer. Still not perfect with MT lol cousin sits in the car and says "ah don't you love the smell of that burning clutch"..

turbovtec 07-15-2009 07:23 PM

camaro v6 was marked up 7000 $ lol but yea i was gonna get it if it wasnt. MSRP is 25 but add 7 and it comes out to be 32. taxes ect..options.. 34? 10 more than mustang.

nuke0907 07-15-2009 07:49 PM

i just seen one of the new ones tonight. they have some sweet rear turn signals.

NoOdLe BoY 07-15-2009 07:53 PM

well you are blaming the 8. lol

and you shoulda of just gotten the V8.

and getting another ticket or killing yourself isnt determined by what engine or car you have. its up to you as a driver, knowing the limit of your skills, and not being reckless.

besides that, enjoy and be safe out there.

Aznxkaiser 07-15-2009 08:47 PM

Whats the point of a V6 mustang? No straight line acceleration, poor handling, piss poor interior. At least it's the newer one..looks better than the previous gens.

SPHINX144 07-15-2009 08:48 PM

it's not a proper muscle car without a big v8 engine under the hood. Mustangs are ok but they are rather mundane.

rodjonathan 07-15-2009 08:55 PM

yea man the v6 idk but oh well to each his own i own a camaro ss so ill always be biased ;) lol plus i ordered mine so i got a v8 with options for around 38k not bad for that sweet v8

ARE-EX-8 07-15-2009 09:00 PM

you had an 8 and now a 2010 mustang..... and youre 17 . Boy do i wish i was you

05rex8 07-15-2009 09:02 PM

who cares if it's a V6
he obviously likes the car so let him be
not that it would be my choice...but still....lol.
congrats on the new car

Yeah, no kidding. I was 26 when I got my first wheels. :rolleyes:

:lol: that sucks!

I was 17 when I got my first wheels. But it wasn't an 8 or a Mustang. I had me a Dodge Shadow with Holstein seat covers :yesnod:

I don't care if I was 17 or not....I'd never get a Pony. If I ever get a Mustang again, it'll be another V8.

But, on the bright side...at least he's got that fresh new car smell! mmmmmm!

getdamafiaonyou 07-15-2009 09:40 PM

having test driven a few recently i have to say. they are my favorite mustang since the origional. The inside is much nicer than the 05's. but still. should have gone with the v8. and the handling isn't as bad as the 09s eaither. i actually like that mustang.

kvndoom 07-15-2009 09:46 PM

getdamafiaonyou 07-15-2009 09:47 PM

they shouldnt even make these cars without a v8. the v8 should be standard, and they should throw in a v12 in the gt. then, it would be a muscle car, but the v8's now days, just dont hold up to their name.

You should have shopped around more. I'm sure given enough stealerships and the right haggling with them that you would have gotten it for around MSRP. Then again...they are selling more Camaros than they can produce....

plus with the fact that he is only 17 and just got a new mustang, means that the stealerships would have been in full steal mode.

......lolwhut

How do V8s not hold up to their name?
Let's look at the 'vettes LS7, the LS9, the LS3, don't forget Ferrari V8s. We can even talk about the older LS1 and LS2s. The Mustang V8s aren't anything to scoff at either and the (w/e they named it) new V8 ford is producing will have similar numbers to the LS3. Don't forget the MOPAR. 6.2L HEMI with 425 hp. How are these not holding up to their name??

O and LSx's are surprisingly fuel efficient for the power they produce :yesnod:

Bring a parent and don't say a word, lol. Let the parent do all of the talking and keep the kid out of it. If the kid even smiles at one of the cars features, the salesman will know he has them on his line (I used to work at Ford).

Transam kid 01 07-15-2009 10:00 PM

O and the people bashing the Mustangs handling should take a look at the track package. They did a nice job on the new mustang with power/handling , especially for the price (but I still dislike the cheap feeling interior...reminds me of my trans am interior :puke: ).

im sorry i should have been more specific. the Ford Mustang v8, is just and embarrassment. maybe the new one will hold up something, but i honestly believe that the v8 in the mustang Gt is a embarrassment to the v8 name. yeah chevy makes some kick ass v8's, we all love the ls1 & ls2

i can out run a GT at the strip.

TopGear8 07-15-2009 10:14 PM

It definitally looks better on the outside, but they really need to fix the interior. I've driven a few of them and the interior quality is just crap.

maybe stock, but they respond very well to bolt on parts
the ford's modular v8's are no joke with a little bit of work

SayNoToPistons 07-15-2009 10:33 PM

All those tickets at 17? Your parents should have brought you a moped instead.

05rex8 07-15-2009 10:35 PM

^I'm surprised he still has a license

SayNoToPistons 07-15-2009 10:40 PM

+1. He had an autotragic RX8 too. Imagine he had a manual or a V8 Stand.

9krpmrx8 07-15-2009 10:42 PM

I love the way everyone mentions the V-8 power and handling when on our cruises a ton of 8 owners bitch about driving hard because they wanna cruise. I don't like Mustangs much either but I would say most 8 owners don't ever drive them anywhere near the limit so the comments seem stupid. This mustang has more power then the 8 he owned and likely would spank it on any track.

Just my thoughts, don't just hate because its not a RX-8.

the 2010 mustang has a much nicer interior.


and how is the v6 mustang much faster than the 8? trust me.. i know from experience. it's not.

9krpmrx8 07-15-2009 10:55 PM

You really don't think his manual tranny Mustang is faster than his automatic 8?

volcomx31 07-15-2009 11:05 PM

i like the saleen better haha..and the v6 is faster than the auto 8..i have a mustang and rx8 and they both are AT and the mustang is faster..

getdamafiaonyou 07-16-2009 12:33 AM

OH i missed the part where the 8 was a auto. yeah the manual v6 would be faster.

05rx8mazda 07-16-2009 01:01 AM

I spanked a Mustang Gt 2004 AT.. I ran a MT and i was at his tail lights T_T good job for my little 1.3

RoTaRyRx-8 07-16-2009 01:08 AM

^^ so did i, i expected more out of a V8

Maybe nicer than the older models, but like I said. I've driven a few of the 2010 Stang's, and the interior is still not all that great...
