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!

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.

The theme of this thread:

http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/v8.jpg

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.

:rofl:

This made me giggle.

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).

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.

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

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

^I'm surprised he still has a license

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

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.

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

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..

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

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

^^ 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...
