I think I should get a 2024 Mustang GT while they're available even if it means drowning in debt. To borrow a word from Aldous Huxley, Fordship is magic.This is still available to us while GM already nixed the Camaro and Stellantis did the same to the Challenger. I'd get an EcoBoost but no manual transmission is available for it, imagine buying a 4 pot and then losing even more power to the tranny, couldn't be me.
>>27723258The s550 looks better. Slap on a supercharger and you’ll smoke 99% of the cars on the road.
>>27723258its ugly and gay now, just like ford has been for a very long time. save your money, dont be a retard
>>27723258I'd be inclined to agree if your post wasn't so cheesily-written. I almost missed this thread's point under that forced dog-and-pony show of a prose.
The Fast, Agile V8 Coupe You’ve Always Wanted
>>27723258S650 sux for many reasons (too long to post) but they are on ~3-5K discount (confirmed achievable recently) so you can get em <40KCuntsider a Challenger, they're on discount too (~10-12K confirmed achievable recently) and more of the "traditional musshole" assperience if you wanna larp a "muh classic white man"
you sound like those dumb boomers they made millions of mustangs they aren't going anywhere 1/600,000 isn't worth going into debt over
this could be the last V8-powered Mustang GT ever

>>27723308wat gay is dat from?gfx so realistik
>>27723258I feel the same way about the Challenger, I kinda wanna get one now, a Scat Pack specifically. There's a used 2022 with ~2k miles near me, I check on it every week to see if it's still available. Only problem is they want like $40k for it which just doesn't make sense. At the same time the FOMO is mounting, it's got ridiculously low miles, and the higher trims obviously get abused more so the longer I wait the worse condition I'll be able to find one.I considered a Mustang but the newest ones are just so ugly that I can't justify paying so much for a car I'm not gonna love.
>>27723258If you can get over the looks then it's absolutely a good purchase. The coyote sounds really good and has a lot of power. However the MT82 transmission is kind of junk. The Dark horse has the Tremec i believe. But I don't know how much it matters in normal driving. If you care about performance/$ and want a new car there is literally only one option in this country, for better or for worse, and it's the mustang GT.

>>27723349>Challenger>Scat Pack>Only problem is they want like $40kMy dude if you could stretch your budget a LITTLE bit and perhaps your search radius a little bit, you can find brand new ones for that much. I have no idea why you would buy a used Scat when theyre sitting on lots going under MSRP.
The Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are on their last legs, so it’s a miracle we’re getting a new Mustang at all, let alone one with a fire-breathing V8.

>>27723258$50k in an index fund and a free one in 7 years. You probably won't want one once fomo wears off and they're $15k though.
>>27723503I always tell myself I’ll do this, but I can never bring myself to sell anything I put in an index fund so I just keep saving the money
>>27723349The challenger hasn't changed meaningfully in 10 years, just get a 2014. It'll ironically be more reliable than buying a UAW-strike car, too.
>>27723258I don't like those cars, especially in that popular yellow coloration. It reminds me of an unnoticed, missed cheese crumb that falls on the floor when you make a sandwich, and the car itself just isn't enviro-friendly.>>27723369yikes bruh, this just aint wholesome chungus my duderinolet's unpack your comment because this is SO not cooking uncle frfr

>>27723511well at least you'll die with 2.5 million in the bank
>>27723511>>27723503No, wait until you're 78 years old and then withdraw. Then you can get Tyquavious's 50k mile mustang for $25k.
>>27723541>>27723553The goal is to retire as early as practical, ideally die with nothing in the bank. I just think to myself I could spend 50k on a car or retire another year earlier (really more, due to compounding interest) and it becomes an easy choice
>>27723533You're speaking from experience, clearly.
>>27723258Reminder that manuals are diesel-adjacent, you can only get a manual transmission in a diesel variant of a lot of models nowadays. People like those because they remind them of the locomotives they heard in Barney growing up. Arrested development at its finest.

>>27723663An inconvenient truth for Dieselfags. The smell of the fuel reminds them of smoking dope as well, a common vice they hold.>>27723666Not today, Satan. Not ever.
>>27723293>~3-5K discount For a proper manual? I've only seen slush boxes going for under MSRP. I'm convinced there's some sort of conspiracy that it keeps happening.

>>27723911I thought you were ngmi
>>27723663>People like those because they remind them of the locomotives they heard in Barney growing up.But diesel locomotives are more akin to an automatic transmission than a manual, in principle. There's no direct driveline connection between the prime mover and the output wheels.
>>27723911That's from after this thread, I'll report them for stealing my OCiobyfyrtm
>>27723921Cope. If you're into manuals, you're the same as dieselfags. Your car will sound like a vehicle from Barney the dinosaur. This is your mindset.

>>27723361Fuck maybe i shouldn't have gotten a mustang with challengers this cheap.
You can still get challywallys, theres even a hellcat on the lot near meI don't think ford is going to axe the mustang any time soon though
>>27723600Is it arrogance or did you just grow up in the same house your entire childhood? You could die anytime why wouldn't you make your drive worth the experience.
>>277251972028 apparently. Got to give them props though, sales are pretty fucking bad for the GT. People just don't like these kinds of cars anymore.
>>277252212 houses as a kid, moved close by when my parents got divorced. I drive an old SL500 (R129) so I still really enjoy my drive, but it only cost me $15k and hasn't cost much in terms of upkeep or insurance. If the market keeps doing reasonably well then I'll be financially independent in my 40s, which, incidentally, will lower my risk of death due to ill health, stress, etc.

I’ve actually been thinking the same thing lol>captcha:GTAPR
>>27725313They’re not axing it in 2028. They just don’t have concrete plans for a new model beyond 2028 yet.
If you’re going to get one, get one because it will be fun. Don’t get it because you think it will have a higher resale value after they’re discontinued because they won’t. Now, help me decide between this and a scat pack. You do see fewer…well…you know who’s driving Mustangs.
>>27723291Damn, the Stangy Wangy is growing on me
>>27733482>…well…you know who’s driving Mustangs.Welll... then there's you.
>>27727314>>oh heck looks like there's no demand for these muscle kersThere literally isn't. Mentality and ideology are changing. It's not a money thing. All the muscle car prices tracked pretty well with inflation and even income over time, at least since like 2000. Ford's making a V8 mustang for $42,500 in 2024, which is $32,861 in 2017 money. The actual 2017 mustang GT msrp was $39,585.These cars have gotten CHEAPER... and yet sales are SHIT for 2024. If not price blame it on looks. If not looks, blame it on interior design. If not that, blame it on the transmission, etc etc. The truth is you don't buy these muscle cars new. No one you know buys these muscle cars new. It's just boomers who do, and the rest of us get it second hand. And car enthusiast boomers are dying out.
>>27736208>These cars have gotten CHEAPER... and yet sales are SHIT for 2024.Has median income got any better? Because if not, they got more expensive. Don't forget the plandemic.
>>27723293I can confirm the $10k discount on the challenger. I don’t know about the white man LARP though. They’re a stereotypical black man car now.
>>27723674Idk about the mustangs but dealerships are currently offering big discounts on the challengers to get rid of them since they’ll be done this year.
>>27727314That’s not why they’re discontinuing them though. It’s because of the EV push. They can’t continue to meet regs and justify it. All the muscle cars are not actually being discontinued but are being folded into plans for EVs. Mustang, Charger, they all have EVs coming out.
I plan on buying this summer and I’m completely torn between the Mustang and the Challenger.
>>27740011Challengers have the ugliest bodies. Mustangs are just cop cars so who cares unless you get a shelby
>>27740558I actually like the look of the Challengers because they’re clearly a muscle car and I’ve never seen a cop in a Mustang.
>>27723291Based fordThe chinese refresh was so ugly they had to fix it.
>>27723258The GR86/BRZ is a true pony car though just Japanese.
>>27740769>chinese refreshwait what
Early Gen6 1LEs are still a pretty good bargain. Fordcucks and challywallys need not apply.
I have a V6 and I love it. I would never buy a V8. V8s are great for driving in straight lines but thats not "driving". But you can own a Mustang forever. You can restore a 60s Mustang to mint condition thanks to the huge aftermarket this line has. There is no reason not to buy a Mustang. You can get a 4, 6 or 8, NA or supercharger it, the sky is the limit. Just do it faggot.

FoMoCo haven't made a mustang worth spending money on since 1970. The only other good one is the '69.That's one asshole's opinion, though.If you're dead set on a 'Stang, buy used. Late fifth gens are a dime a dozen and come with shit powerful V8's like they should.
>>27752654>FoMoCo haven't made a mustang worth spending money on since 1970. The only other good one is the '69.Retard lmao
>>27723258Mustang hasn't been a pony car since the Mustang II.
