Stutopia Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 By the power of greyskull. I never saw the attraction of buying new on finance. Until now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Lots of car for the money but I think if I was in the market for a big square lump with a ton of power I'd be heading to the GTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have always loved the mustang. Now that it is in the uk I'm not sure if thatll take the shine off it. I'll be keeping an eye on the used market over the next few years maybe pick myself up one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 1 things for sure bhp builds will be less than gtr/370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted January 21, 2015 Share 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 It's the overall look that is lacking. If you compare standard with standard, or Shelby with Shelby, the older shapes look mean. This one doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Lots of car for the money but I think if I was in the market for a big square lump with a ton of power I'd be heading to the GTR. +1. The GTR really is a phenomenal car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I wasn't personally referring to power, just that I prefer the GTR as an overall package. Obviously the Mustang is a bargain in terms of raw performance for price. Having looked at some more pictures and a video I do quite like it. Be interesting to read reviews and see one in the flesh at some point. They sound good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get an R35 for just a little over £30K used which tbh is what I'd much rather than the Mustang. New car or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoD Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well the Shelby is going to be about 55k and 612 bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 All speculative at the moment, all will be revealed soon for definite, I'd imagine. Lovely looking car, and with the steering wheel on the correct side, coupled with the perceived cheapness, a bargain! However, for most I suspect, when it comes to actually walking in a dealership and speccing the trim/extras the parting with probably closer to £40k, V8 or not, takes a bit of balls. Can't see there being a run on them myself, too much snobbery about when it comes to American cars, which I don't subscribe to myself. Can't wait to see all the threads on the new purchases.

Can't wait to see all the threads on the new purchases. £34,880 for the V8 with the fancy paint I want, Sat Nav, Climate control,heated/cooled seats. What the price of my 70 was in 2009 with a similar spec but no V8 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, just specced one up, came out, with all the more expensive options, about £1k more than I paid for my Nismo, fantastic price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Can we merge these two Mustang threads? ^^^ This. You'd have to really, really hate Ford to get a 370 over the V8, you really would. These things aren't going to be that common anyway, relatively speaking, so I can't see them becoming too ubiquitous to the point of irritation. Hopefully they'll do what the 350 did, which is bring GT cars with a stonking engine and brawny looks to the mass market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wheres the comparison!?! It's a V8, the comparison should be with other V8's. Where the comparison truly is, is in the price, not with a 370 or 350. Compare it to an old BMW M3, M5, F type, then it's super value, but a poor V8. We get it Dan, you don't like the 370, man you're pedantic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Poor v8 lol think again Also that's like comparing a Aygo and a Mazda 3 mps as they both have 4 cyl All the media will compare it to the z4 tt and the 370z Edited January 21, 2015 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Aygo has 3. My point being, the rest of the package on the other V8's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
