When the car arrived from the factory, it was missing the 3 screws that screw the front bumper cover in place just ahead of the driver side front wheel.
The steering wheel seems to sit slightly to the left even when driving in a straight line on a flat roadway. I'm sure it is just a minor alignment adjustment, but haven't got it to the dealer yet.
Cheers to Ford once again for making the best and most recognized sports car in the world the best model yet.
Look at how the other manufacturers such as GM and Dodge are copying Ford's lead the this Mustang's sales success by bringing back cars such the Camero and the Charger.
This car handles, drives and looks like a dream.
The exterior styling is crisp and the lines of the car are beautiful.
The interior is a perfect blend of a retro and modern look.
Great power and performance. Anybody thinking about buying a sports car with some versatility should seriously consider taking one of these baby's for a test drive.
Golf clubs and groceries? No problem with the Mustang's trunk space.
A real head turner!
Excellent fit and finish that is solidly built.
The growl from this Mustang's exhaust just like it's predecessors, is the unmistakable Mustang tune - music to the ears!
Camaros have always been around and you spelled it wrong camero-camaro and an camaro can out perform almost any mustang.
I agree with the comment above, a camaro (not camero) will out perform any mustang on the street. chevy should get some sense in their head, and bring back the old beauty camaro.
A camaro will not outperform any mustang on the street... and lets face it, Ford is going the right way, Chevy is not... just look at that Silverado SS... what a joke.
I think the SVT Cobra will pretty much wipe up the pavement with any stock Camaro built. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds with 390/390 numbers under the hood STOCK?? Yeah it's supercharged, but who cares when you are watching that bowtie on the grille disappear in the rearview mirror... and no the "objects aren't closer than they appear". To top it off the Camaro isn't even alive and well to compete with the Mustang anymore so... GAME OVER... Ford wins!! Now Ford has it's sights on the Z06 with the 500 HP Shelby due out next fall. Should be interesting!!
"Excellent fit and finish that is solidly built." Yet it is out of alignment and was missing screws holding the front bumper on. Hmmmm... kind of contradictory don't you think? I have never bought a brand new car that is out of alignment before... never mind missing body panel screws. I think they were rushing these out the door due to the unbelievable demand for them. Guess a lot of people like paying $8K over sticker these days for a car that will lose more than that in the first year (which = about $16K down the tubes). I love Mustangs, but people are really getting stupid nowadays paying such ridiculous prices to be the first one on the block with one. And where did you hear they were bringing the Camaro back? That would be GREAT!!
I hear they are dropping the camaro body styles in favor of a Cobalt SS with a 5.7 V8. Cool...
Lol the ford chevy rivalry will never end will it.
I laugh.
Dropping the Camaro body style?? It has been extinct since 2002 so dropping is not the issue anymore... it has long been dropped! As far as a 5.7 V-8 finding its way under the hood of a Cobalt... It would be a cool concept, but what will they do about the current front wheel drive platform?? I've never seen a LS-1 transversely mounted... ha ha ha. I guess if did it n the Caddie's then why not?
The Camaro is coming back for the '08 model year, the GTO which is 400bhp and 400 lbs.-ft of torque for 34k will out perform Just about any mustang on the road. It is actually just a Holden Monaro, from Australia with GTO badges on it. The real ford you want is the new Falcon, also in production in Australia. You can watch both cars during the f1 off season on the speed channel as "Australian super v8's” I just test drove a new GT mustang on my way to buy my new GTO, and I have to say. It's the worst car I've ever driven. The interior is smaller than the 93' Celica I drive back and fourth to work. The interior is also cheaper feeling and less comfortable than my neighbors Hyundai hatchback.
I have driven everything from an Evo IX MR to a Holden to a new Vette, old Vette, a plethora of mid 90's and late 80's cars on the local scca track.. And I can honestly say I wouldn't trade my wife's schwin beach cruiser for one of them. Well maybe I would... But only to pay for the AVO twin turbo kit for the GTO that puts 610 hp to the rear wheels.
I'd have to agree... I would choose the GTO right now over the Mustang due to the deals you can get on them and the 400hp 6-speed combo. I wouldn't count on the return of the Camaro quite yet though as GM might not even exist by then at the rate they are going. Even if they do, I doubt they'll put money into re-releasing a car that was such a loss to them on the last round. Of course they haven't made the best choices over the years now have they? The GTO will probably disappear int he next year or two as well due to the pitiful sales numbers they generate. Hold onto that GTO as it will become an instant classic of very limited numbers when they cease production.
The cobalt thing was a joke lol...
Everyone has their opinion. Its all up to what YOU want. You'll BS the guy next store on what car is better for eternity. lol.
Yah--instant classic. Just like the Cadillac Catera, Merkur Scorpio, Chrysler Maserati TC, etc. All losers in the North American market which came and quickly went and now sell for a fraction of their original sticker prices. I wouldn't count on the GTO holding its value, <especially> if GM drops it. Cars that were poor sellers when new don't suddenly become more desirable after they are discontinued.
I have to disagree on the not becoming a classic thing. The cars you mentoned all were oddballs in their lines and really had no place other than being strange and different so they had no where to go, but down. The GTO, on the other hand, is the ONLY affordable musclecar GM produces at this point so when they are gone they are gone and trust me they will go up in value. The GTO is not a strange concept or an oddball car it is just in a time when muscle cars are waning in the market place. There will always be some sort of market for them, though, and the prices will continue to rise as production ceases. Usually I'd agree with your point but not in this case.
Another notable exception to unpopular cars attaining classic status is the 1970 Plymouth Superbird. At the time these were produced, many dealers found them so unsalable that they took off the nose cones and wings, converting them back into Roadrunners. Now Superbirds are routinely selling for over $100,000 and are one of the most sought after, yet out-of-reach, Chrysler musclecars.
Ah yes, but the Superbird was wild looking, you were not likely to mistake it for anything else.
The 2004 GTO was just a redo of an existing model (Holden Monaro) and did not look a whole lot different (once that Pontiac grille was stuck on it) than a late model Grand Prix 2-door.
I agree with the last poster. The new GTO can't really be considered a real American muscle car. They're now built by Holden in Australia. Also, when they built the recent Camaros/Firebirds, they were built in Quebec, Canada. However, the Mustang is still built in Dearborn, where it always has been. I respect all of your opinions of Camaros and GTOs, but I will always be a Mustang fan.
