Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I have been having impure thoughts about another mistress! :shock: http://www.ford.co.u...Car/NewMustang/ 5.0 V8 fully specced for £35k I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's really pushing a lot of buttons right now... Let's hope they have some kick ass finance deals on the V8 when it doesn't sell as well as the EcoBoost!!! Edited January 21, 2015 by Paddy78 1 Quote
brillomaster Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 that is a lot of car for not a lot of moolah... but would have to be the v8, obviously... a stang with a 4 pot is just wrong. would certainly make a change to see some of these on UK roads. Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Great looking car, "a lot of flash for no cash"... :thumbs: Quote
Ekona Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Who on earth is going to spend £28K on the 4 pot when the V8 is just £4K more?! What a waste of the engineering that's gone into that. Great price though, I expected north of £40K at least. 1 Quote
Cal Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Cool looking car... I'd still rather a Nismo 370z though, any day. Quote

370Ad Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Sorry missed your thread when I posted mine. Didn't see Mustang in any titles so made a new one Edited January 21, 2015 by 370Ad 1 Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 My fault, I should have mentioned it in the title as there was bound to be another thread for such a cool car. 1 Quote
marzman Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I will 100% be buying one of these at some point in the future. I watched Need for Speed and instantly wanted one. Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 I wonder how much the Shelby version will be? Got to figure £50k, but over 600bhp and supercharged it would be quite a machine for the cash! Quote
Grundy Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I wonder how much the Shelby version will be? Got to figure £50k, but over 600bhp and supercharged it would be quite a machine for the cash! 'If you reach 230, we will pay the asking price....give or take a million, mostly take.' 1 Quote
Kev Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I read on some reviews that in certain conditions the Eco boost isn't that much more economical than the V8. I would imagine some bargains will be available once the cars have been around for a few months. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Handling would never be anywhere near a Jap car, I'd say. Other than that, a nice car for that price. Quote
Ekona Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I suspect it'll surpass the 370Z, and by a margin. The new one has proper suspension and everything. Quote

Got to figure £50k, but over 600bhp and supercharged it would be quite a machine for the cash! http://www.autoexpre...tang-set-for-uk looks to be £26,500 on top of the base car Nah, they've gone like for like between USD and GBP for the pricing of the car ($32K vs £33K), so you can expect that Shelby to cost £40K on top of the base car. £73K is a LOT of money for a Ford. That or a GT-R? No contest, you're going to take the Nissan all day long. Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Rousch (sp) supercharger is only $7K, so if you could live without the Shelby badge (And a few tweaks), you could get the same power fairly cheaply! Edited January 21, 2015 by Paddy78 Quote
Jay Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yup I am hooked on the american cars now..... defo will get one at the end of the year Quote
LRF4N Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I thought they would be priced higher Still not sure on the looks though, looks too soft compared to previous models Quote
maddog1982 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Wonder if this being priced so cheaply will force Nissan to drop their prices on the 370 Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Wonder if this being priced so cheaply will force Nissan to drop their prices on the 370 You hope and think so wouldn't you! Bad news for current owners though if that does happen! Quote
StevoD Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I thought they would be priced higher Still not sure on the looks though, looks too soft compared to previous models All regular models are soft that's what Svt/Ford racing and Shelby are for Quote

There will be people who would pay that kind of money for the Shelby, depends what you prefer I guess (I'd rather a GT-R though). Quote
