Test drove new mustang gt

scope22

First off im a hug v8 fan, I drove trans ams for a long time before the Z, I loved the torque and hp of the mustang, but couldn't get over the crappy interior and lack of rev match on manual and HUGE font end, feels like driving a truck, overall I like my 09 Z better.

Sounds like you should have driven an automatic then

The Rev Match is awesome, but I can't ding cars for not having it.

My point was that if the reason you don't like a car is because it doesn't have rev-matching the only cars you are going to like are the 370Z, the new corvette, and a handful of used porsches. McLaren F1s and Ferrari 250 GTOs are lame.

Don't get me wrong, SRM is awesome but it's just a neat little techy add-on, nothing on which to base your overall opinion of a car.

That being said, if you become competent with hill-toe it does help in everyday driving.

It's just an everyday car, you see them everywhere and unless you mod the hell out of it, there pretty boring, fast as hell, but visually tainted unless your just gunning to get a Mustang and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if you start comparing them to others with anything other than speed in mind, you probably won't get one. I looked at one along with a Camaro SS, but I already have a SRT8 and I was like OH Hell No, I need something with a different feel and my Nismo has given me all that and then some

Wonka2581

Exactly.... the way I feel. Next year me and the wife are planing on trading her Daytona Charger in on the HellCat. She for some reason loves Chargers "nothing wrong with that" then after we get that payed off I'm probly going to trade the Z for a GTR.. We both looked at the Mustang and we both said hell no...

Good luck ahead on your Hellcat. I visited are local Ford dealership here
in Nor Cali last week and was excited to see what the hype was about
with the new 2015 Mustang. I pulled up in my 2010 Nismo and the
shoppers and car sales men headed straight over to take a look
at my Nismo. A few even took photos of my Nismo. The new body style
Mustang did nothing for me and the fit and finish was all Ford. Be glad ladies
and gentlemen we bought a true sports car that is still in style...

My pony Mustang thread! I love V8's

Duc_Z09

I almost bought one but my NISMO just felt better in every way except outright power/acceleration. The Mustang is a great looking car no doubt and with just a few mods will absolutely stomp a Z in every aspect... but they're sooooooooo common I just couldn't do it. Easily better in every way than the Camaro SS I tested though, and best of all the mullet is optional instead of mandatory.

Talk all the **** you want, a Mustang will destroy your Z in a drag race or (with minimal mods) around a track.

Everyone wants to compare imports to muscle cars because back in the 90's i4 and v6 imports were faster than domestic v8's. Those "Fast and Furious" days are over though.

Yup, I like the looks of those pony cars....especially when they are in my rear view mirror!

I drove a new 2012 before I drove my 2010 Nismo, I went home with the Nismo. There is no comparison if you want a drivers car and if you add a couple of twin snails you can run with anyone...straights or twisteez!

But what happens when the Mustang adds mods too? For half the cost of your FI?
