Mikevv Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 SOOOOOOOOO I'M EXCITED!!!!!!! I just got back from a test drive at Eastleigh Ford in the new mustang. God I need one! I only got a short 15 min spin or so, and couldn't hammer it, cause rain and a £2,500 excess!!!! But wow, it's like a Zed on steroids. Lovely and comfortable with a nice tone to the exhaust/engine, yet lay into it a little and it's waves of torque and noises are fantastic! Got a thumbs up and a honk from a trucker at the lights, made me feel good! I don't have much else to say, I'm too excited haha but it was definitely an eye opener. Sorry but anyone going from a 350z for an upgrade to maybe a 370z or sub £40k car, please consider it! The interior finish is a damn side better than pictures have lead me to believe, and there's something about it, it's special Just PLEASE no 2.3 Ecoboost. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikevv Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Photobucket isn't working right now :/ Ummm I saw Chris Harris' review and agree with the points he made. It is a big, fun, feel good car I can't comment on the GTR as I personally haven't driven one, but you can't go wrong with either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sounds like they got the 'tang back on track in terms of what its meant to deliver, went out in the previous version, drop top, and wasn't that impressed really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I saw a black one yesterday in the flesh, looked a billion times better than the orange one I saw last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I saw a red one yesterday and it did look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Only ever seen a yellow one in the flesh at car fest and I wasn't convince at all. I'll hold out to see a black one before I cast judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraziekatz1 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Mustangs always have a place in my heart, I know everyone slates them but they really appeal to the kid in me Have driven a GTR, imagine a Mustang is quite a bit different though. It's on my to do list Edited January 22, 2016 by Kraziekatz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangzoom Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) But wow, it's like a Zed on steroids. Lovely and comfortable with a nice tone to the exhaust/engine, yet lay into it a little and it's waves of torque and noises are fantastic! Got a thumbs up and a honk from a trucker at the lights, made me feel good! We're currently in LA, and curising around in a Camero. Wanted to try a Mustang but these were all they had as a convertible at the hire car place. Have to say the similarity with my old 350Z is remarkable. The noise, the slight reluctance to rev all the way to the red line, the lack of luggage space, the way the fuel gauge drops. It's even got a V6 that pumps out around 300bhp. I now see why the Z got comapred to these 'muscle' cars. It's all good fun, especially when a Mustang, Charger pulls up at the lights and eveyone pretends they are in Fast & Furious....Than my wife reminds me she's 30 weeks pregnant I bet the V8 Mustang must be some experience, but I'm a old man these days, fun for a bit but after a few miles much prefer the silent running of EVs to all this drama!!

Ekona Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My Mum's got the V6 tintop Camero, gutless thing with a slow gearbox, but I do have to admit that in yellow it's a very pretty thing indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimboy2 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 SOOOOOOOOO I'M EXCITED!!!!!!! I just got back from a test drive at Eastleigh Ford in the new mustang. God I need one! I only got a short 15 min spin or so, and couldn't hammer it, cause rain and a £2,500 excess!!!! But wow, it's like a Zed on steroids. Lovely and comfortable with a nice tone to the exhaust/engine, yet lay into it a little and it's waves of torque and noises are fantastic! Got a thumbs up and a honk from a trucker at the lights, made me feel good! I don't have much else to say, I'm too excited haha but it was definitely an eye opener. Sorry but anyone going from a 350z for an upgrade to maybe a 370z or sub £40k car, please consider it! The interior finish is a damn side better than pictures have lead me to believe, and there's something about it, it's special Just PLEASE no 2.3 Ecoboost. I drove the same one at Eastleigh. How did you leave without ordering! I couldn't do it. Got a Blue one on order for delivery in August/September. I'm so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
