Anybody driven the new 2011 5.0 Mustang?

[QUOTE]If you want to get into used cars I'd take me a TT Supra from 99 if you please lol. The Supra's 2JZ motor is by far the best 6 cylinder ever made. Check out this video of someone putting the motor in a Camaro.

With the right mods nothing can touch one.[/QUOTE]




As I tell all the guys we go down to the track with...



There is always someone faster ! Usually it comes in a pacakge you do not expect.Last time we were at the track there was a late 80's Z Camaro whick the anouncer called a "Mullet Machine".In all my time at the tracks around here I have seen a ton of these and most to all were cobbled up cars that were left for dead somewhere.When the car came to the burnout box my opinion on these cars changed.

Again I was reminded There is always an exception to the rule as well.I had to get a closer look at it after watching that.What I saw was one of the Best Built Drag Cars I have ever seen.The details on this car were shocking as it was a near perfect execution on a platform I would have never given a second look.

Ah, but with the right mods, you can do that to anything.................

True very true and having the money never hurts. I was just trying to say that the supra is a very easy car to make insane horsepower out of as the way it's built gives it the perfect platform. The 2JZ block comes from the factory with forged internals so you can slap almost anything on it and it can handle it. The car is already rwd which can't be said for too many imports and let's not forget the single or twin turbo option. Toyota was said to be bringing the Supra back pretty soon but only time will tell...

I've never purchased a new car in my life..I wait for somebody to drive the depreciation off of them. My friend works at the lot that had just got an SS on trade in, so I went to play with it.. then he told me to try out the 2011 Mustang as I'd be surprised at it.. and I was. I test drove a GTR at the same lot a few weeks earlier, WOWOWOW.. had 15k miles, I could have got it for $60k..which is way out of my budget.,.but it was fun to drive for a bit.

Ultimately, I think I want the new CTS-V , but will wait until the price comes down into something within my budget...so likely a few years out.. which is what I did with my current car, I waited until it was 4 years old to buy it...

I see the point, brand new vs used.. I like some of the luxuries of newer cars over the older cars, and really want a 4 door, as my current 2-door sits in the garage most of the time because it's too small to haul people! I have shopped around some 03 or 04 Cobras, and almost bought one.. but held off because it is a 2 door..

Company is going down the tubes after all the mishaps they have had.

Toyota is not going down the tubes, it's almost completely repaired it's reputation and is on the upswing now.

Says who? I hate foreign cars but can tell you that Hundai is beating the crap out of Toyota right now........

I know speed or at least bragging rights on how fast your car goes if you have the Balls to drive it 170 MPH so is speed a deciding factor in purchasing a car ?? If the Mustang is faster but you like the Camaro a little better are you going to buy the whole car or just the motor ?? I am too old to care about bragging rights just give me a Porsche and i will be good until death.

I'll second that!!

Kelly - how you been! I've been over 150MPH on a motorcycle, so have no issues with going 170 in a car...
as for speed vs car vs whatever, Im a whole package kind of guy.. I don't buy a car because of speed only.. there are plenty of cars faster than my current car, but I like the overall look of it, along with the speed it does have. And if I end up in a CTS-V it will be because I like a car that goes fast, as well as can carry 4 people comfortably, and looks good..
