coyote fever

[karl-hungus]

thinking about a mustang gt either this or next summer. between selling mods and being right side up on my note, i probably have $8k to put towards it.

i want a base gt with manual, brembo brakes & 3.73 rear end for options. usaa's price is $27k.

$27k - $8k = $19k which would make for a lower monthly payment.

i'm leaning more towards next summer but want to take a test drive next weekend.

interested in what you guys (brownies too) think. however, save the "pay off your car and live debt free" faggotry.

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

If it'd drop my payments I'd definitely do it. Fuck that pay it off bs

[dixie789456]

was thinking of doing the same thing, but i think i'm gonna save the MS3 for a daily driver and go the foxbody route again.... something about a supercharged fox is well..... FUN!

[nindoja]

I test drove on of the new 5.0s with a manual. It was a blast. The car is so fast and felt relatively nimble for being a larger car than the MS3.

You'll lose a lot of practicality, and the rear seats really aren't any good unless you want to put small dogs back there.

Do your research though, as I've heard of quite a few of the new 5.0s breaking their transmissions within a few months of owning the car.

Just to clear this confusion, this issue you heard of was only for early model GT's. Means 2011 models that were built in early 2010.

To O/P, i have an MT-82 6 speed built on 8/10 and have had an issue in the beginning with the clutch sticking to the floor in high RPM shifts twice, but ford replaced mine under warranty to the revised and updated GT500 pedal assembly. Now all GT's come with this revised pedal revision. So if your buying used, check the door jam for a build date. Or you can just buy an auto and enjoy . I drive in a alot of traffic in Dallas, TX so if i could do it all over, id get an auto, but thats just me.

Otherwise if you like shifting and enjoy making over 400HP with simple bolt-ons and OTS tunes, this is the car for you.

This is because this was a custom ordered car that a sale more than likely fell through. You wont find another one like it unless it was a similar situation. Only premium (400A-402A) GT's come with the brembo's unless ordered specifically. Why a Base model may i ask? There are plenty of premiums going for that price.

i trow up a little in my mouth!!!

your right their no contest to my car, unless they spent some serious coin on any of them

i found one new camaro ls3 with a kid driving, ( one and only) and it couldn't hang when i was on stock turbo ....

love to destroy that car now

no one in these parts can afford the high hp models

and by that time they are, their no longer a price comparison, bang for buck anyway!

i did look at mustangs when i looked at my car, and equal hp car was 35000 so 10 g more for slower? fuck that, and crappy mileage,

Ill admit, when i first got my 08 MS3 i never saw mazdaspeed anything..anywhere. Now they are pretty much everywhere. I do live in DFW, TX so im not sure how populated where your located is.

+1 for giving it a shot, same thing i did and you see how t
hat situation ended up

There is pride in building a car same as you have sir. Not everyone has that kind of time and dedication to put a car like your together. I for one need my car just about everyday, so the idea of waiting for parts and incurring fail along the way just wasn't in the cards.
Different Strokes For Different Folks.

As far as price...i got mine OTD for 32k back on 8/2010 with everything minus Nav. Now one can be had for 26-28k similar to mine if you look hard enough. bang for the buck? I think its the best bet right now if your looking for a 30K RWD v8.
I think the biggest set back is the idea of having no mods when buying a new car, starting from scratch sounds fun but fail always see to poke its head around the corner.

you do realize he's married to one of the hottest ginger's in the world.. Isla Fisher .. id throw a pic up but im at work.. someone help me out..


and I live in the south and actually saw 3 yote's today on the way to work.. 0 mazdaspeeds.. theres maybe 10 total in the area.. i like having the unique car, but im not saying i wouldnt mind having a yote

[ScarMS3]

I see too many on the road, at least get something interesting and a little more rare if you are going to trade the speed.

Since when did someone base their decision about purchasing a vehicle by how many someone else saw on the road?

I see alot of mazdas on the road too, some might say that's a good thing....

[karl-hungus]

settle down, scar. this won't happen overnight. what i'm looking for is pretty rare and i'll fuck with them on the price.

i think of the ms3 as a good wife, but i'm looking for some strange pussy.

[ScarMS3]

Just go out get trashed and punch the ms3 in the eye, then make up later.

[Haltech]

Dont forget to add $9K for Whipple, Tune, Full Exhaust and Intake.

660hp to the wheels...

Mustangs are for fags.

Dime-a-dozen.

YOu ever driven a mustang setup for track? Change your opinion rather quickly. Besides, these 2010+ mustangs are nothing of the past. They actually handle.. and if you upgrade the stock components, you would be amazed at what a car its become.

Lets not mention 5,6 or 700 hp is not far from reality. STIs, EVOs, etc are a dime a dozen as well.

I'm sure just about anything that was "set up" for track would be fun to drive.

Hence why I didn't buy any of those cars. I could have, but I didn't want to be another white kid trying to be a wannabe racer. Look, I'm sure the new 5.0 is fast and sounds damn good. That doesn't change the fact that there are roughy 10/.0000001 Mustangs already out there being driven around by moms and rednecks.

Mr. Goldfarb already has horrible taste so I would expect him to follow up with another great decision here...

How many speeds do you see on the road? I don't see many, I like being a little bit different, one of the main reasons I got the speed, and not a GTI is because it's different, I rarely see speeds on the road but see GTIs all the time.

i'll take a test drive this weekend and see where it goes. i'm very attached to my ms3 but i got a fever.

[predapio]

Do it Pat, I second the "Strange" comparison.

I'm keeping the speed but will look for a project, hopefully by next summer.

[rigor]

i did it in 2 weeks and have a flange problem, witch i will fix but, it has been reliable as can be!
i drive it over 40 + miles a day, to work and back, and i drive it daily, and run it hard lol

good luck man! im just bustin your chops!

[karl-hungus]

my dealer has two black base gt's w/ the 3.73 rear end and their price through usaa is $25.5k.

depending on how well the gt handles on the test drive, i'll put my car up for sale with mods on and see what happens. it will break my heart to part out and drive it stock so i'll patiently wait for the right buyer.

before marriage and kids, i went from a '90 sho to a '93 police package z28. this is feeling like the same step up.

i love my ms3, but i want cheaper monthly payments, my engine pointing the right way, and the correct wheels supplying power.

irony is i wouldn't be straying if the ms3 resale value wasn't so high.

[The Yeti]

The new 5.0's are pretty sick. Very fast from the factory and respond well to mods. I know some people are complaining about the reliability of the 6 speed (issues with popping out of gear or not going into gear) but doesnt seem like its the majority of people.

If I could afford one, I would definitely get it. You wont be disappointed with it. There is a pretty good aftermarket world for it too and they arent that expensive to mod...

my buddy scattered one of those trannys in one night of messing around, lol and the car had like 15000 miles on it they almost denied the warantee, and i guess it is a super expensive tranny!

did some smokies, and did some spirited driving, and 2nd let go lol

sounds like they can't handle the power to me

Early builds seem to have more issues, but its kind of hit and miss. Kind of the way MS3's got a name for blowing engines. 15K already seems like an early build to me. If i could do it all over, id go auto with a stall and swap out the 3:15's for 4:10's.

i like autos when done right i build my own auto tranny's

my jeep could pull the wheels with the automatic!

with the stick no dice!

stick has it's strengths!

but fun factor is in the shitter

[tragik]

Do it!

I'd wait til the winter though. Your car might get a little more attention cause of the awd.

He has an ms3

[tragik]

oops, my bad.

get that shit already then.

[event]

I'd love to trade the MS6 in for one, but then I'd be fucked in the winter... My miata doesn't have ABS. Both cars would be death traps.

[SKiZ0TT]

I'll post a pic of a Mustang in the garage that is really nice.

Talked to the owner, car not here today. But it is the GT with the 373 rear and the 19" w/ Brembo. Black / Black - really nice.
