The Dark Side is Calling..

TongMan · 03-21-2012, 08:34 PM

I was just browsing YouTube videos and came across the 2013 Mustang GT. for this new model, they get a bump to 420hp and 380tq. I'm really liking the Recaro seats options and the Brembo brake packages. I don't really care for the premium package with leather and upgraded sound system. So I went to ford's website and priced one out.

It comes out to be around the price of a Base + SP 370z. Which is not bad for the amount of performance that you get. One more thing that is really tempting is that Ford is offering 0% financing for 60 months on the 2013 Mustang. Sigh...what to do?

it's definitely tempting. i've been fighting the urge to price one out myself. now i know :\

I also hear that Nissan is also offering 0% financing on the 2012 370z just to compete with Ford. Don't know if it's true, but Nissan is lacking against Ford.

thats good pricing on the mustang..and you can mos def add power to the car.

m4a1mustang · 03-21-2012, 09:02 PM

You should expect to pay invoice or less. I'd imagine that car would sell for 32k or less.

this is the one my dad and brother ordered... the dealer screwed up and left off the recaros so they refused it.... the dealer is putting in a rush order basically saying they screwed up and the new one be here in 4 weeks... something about the option code for the seats changed and he put in the old code and the factory left it off

those seats are gonna make such a difference i dont blame them for not taking it

it was terrible timing he sold his 2005 mustang just yesterday

The base MSRP was different. It said it started at $36k

That just makes the decision so much more tempting. I paid invoice for my 370z.

Ugh been looking at 2011 5.0 but this is tempting. Love the look of the 2013

Hmm so the car guzzles more gas, doesn't look as nice, in a few months you'll see one on every block, and last time I checked the speed limit hadn't been raised so unless you plan on tracking the car what's the allure of the huge HP bump? Racing people off of stop lights?

I really don't understand in this day and age why people are still so gaga over horsepower. Anything over 350hp for a daily driver is really unnecessary unless you're on the autobahn.

Sorry just my 2 cents...
