KyleR Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) does the word "stang" not put you off entirely! No, now go back to waiting for your inferior V6 I dont want to cause ructions or anything but for me the 370 already feels a little dated when compared to the new Cayman, M235i and I cant imagine the Stang is going to be a bleeding edge driving experience either ........... Id therefore probably have a 500hp Supra and change but if pushed the 370 every day of the week, as well as the obvious dynamic issues US interiors tend to be pretty dire and its going to drink fuel like its going out of fashion. Answer the damn question! 370 vs 'Stang? NISMO!! Yes, inferior NISMO V6 Edited June 23, 2014 by KyleR Quote
KyleR Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Stang as long as its the v8 for me! Will you be considering trading the Camero for one when the time comes? Quote

Stutopia Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I like the nismo 370 a lot, but the chance of owning a V8 muscle car, with the only drawback (LHD) removed? Surely the only real question is to go drop top or not? Not even a question, the fastback looks sooo much better. If it was a hard top it may have looked better and been in with a chance. Agreed, but I bet the noise with no roof on will be a bit spesh. Quote

Paddy78 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 RHD... V8... Mustang... I now know my mid-life crisis car! Quote
pjf1985 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 V8 Mustang for me! Loving the new style of this and the V8 is the icing on the cake Quote

Agreed, but I bet the noise with no roof on will be a bit spesh. True, but windows down, boot down will be close. I just don't think a bit of extra sound it worth ruining the roof line. Just wait for the aftermarket exhausts for more noise Answer the damn question! 370 vs 'Stang? if pushed the 370 every day of the week' date=' as well as the obvious dynamic issues US interiors tend to be pretty dire and its going to drink fuel like its going out of fashion.

Jay Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Stang as long as its the v8 for me! Will you be considering trading the Camero for one when the time comes? Without doubt mate! I just hope i will be able to afford one by then Quote

I just hope i will be able to afford one by then I hope they don't price the UK out of the market and charge us $ for £ for everything. I'm certainly gonna look more into it when pre-orders and test drives come about. Quote

Ekona Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Given that the V8 'Stang is likely to run to mid £40Ks, I'd suggest that the 2.3L I4 could actually be a better car. Sure, less noise and drama, but less weight (especially over the nose) and with 300bhp+ as stock, you know that 400bhp is only an exhaust, intercooler and a remap away. Much like how the current FWD TT is actually a better drive than the Quattro TT, I wonder if that's going to be the case with the pony car too. Quote

Interesting thoughts, I was wondering about how flexible the ecoboost will be. It'll be interesting to see if the internals are up to the job of 400hp as they're surely pretty stressed as it is at over 300. I've inly heard one video of the 2.3 too, doesn't sound too bad under load, but it's still not a V8! Quote
WINKJ Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 personally, I don't rate american muscle cars on UK roads, it just doesn't seem to fit. the same way big american trucks that are imported look on UK roads.. no doubt though that they are most likely "awesome" Quote
Daveyboy11 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I'd take the 370 everyday but then if I had that sort of money I'd definitely be going for a second hand GTR. Quote
WINKJ Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I'd take the 370 everyday but then if I had that sort of money I'd definitely be going for a second hand GTR. I went down this route before I ordered my Nismo, it just isn't feasible for that kind of money. its 200 alone for a service plan from Litchfield before you even start on the purchase and running costs associated.

StevoD Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Isn't the eco boost engine the focus rs engine ? Quote

Yes that is true, can afford to buy the car but not necessarily afford to run it! Quote
Briggsybriggs1 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Soft top V8 yes put my down for one as long as they are right hand drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
KyleR Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Isn't the eco boost engine the focus rs engine ? Nope, think it's a 2.5 with about 300hp, this is a new engine for this year. Quote
DavidS14 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ran through the configurator on the main ford website and with the Track-Pack, Recaro Seats, Tech Pack, Panoramic Roof, Parking Sensors, Security System and a few other addons my V8 GT Premium in Sterling Grey came to $43,059 Quote
DavidS14 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 That is with $8K's worth of options over the GT Premium list of $35K. A lot of the options I included were kind of wish list stuff like the roof which is $2K and the Recaros which are $1.6K The only option that I would have to have is the Track Pack (Brembos/Discs/Wheels/Diff etc) which is $2.5K so $37.5K Quote
KyleR Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Currently on the US site I think TS only the 2014 mustang, so prices will vary next year a bit. I also think I read somewhere that all EU or UK cars will have the GT pack as standard and if it wasn't the GT pack it was certainly 19's and Brembos Quote
DavidS14 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I went with the 14' as one of the Ford guys said when asked if the price would increase to reflect the increase in quality replied that "the prices would be comparable with the current models" Quote
