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.

>>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.

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.

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.

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.
>>27756709The 3rd gen was around the same size as the 1st gen and is the size of a modern subcompact.
>>27736208>minimum wage in 2017 was 7.25 and in 2024 its 7.25>Inflation only comes from wage increases anonRetard believes in demand based economics. You'll buy what your given and worship me for the opportunity.
>>27757587Wasn't based on anything, though. A pony car is supposed to be a sporty coupe based on the compact of the marque's lineup. First gen Mustang was based on the Falcon, Mustang II was based on the Pinto. From that point on the Mustang either had a unique platform or in the case of the Fox was based on a midsize.
>>27758047The 3rd gen was based on the Ford Fairmont which was a compact Anon. The Fox/SN95 are just shortened and modified Fairmonts. So even according to your standard they're still pony cars indeed.
I was seriously considering the new ecoboost until I read that there's no way to shift the AT on the base model, and that Ford forces you to shell out an extra $3500 to add paddle shifters. Are you fucking shitting me?
>>27723258if ford did a modern barra ecoboost i6t it would be kino but i dont like the v8 or v6 or i4
>>27759722Makes sense. Paddle shifters are a stupid gimmick. I guess kids like you these days don't remember when they used to be a huge joke. We used to make fun of them and call them "flappy paddles". They have no business being on a base model rental spec 4 cylinder car. If you really are such a die hard racing driver with your white scorpion jacket and your 200 hour super eurobeat mix on USB that you feel you need to be in full control of your 10 speed automatic transmission, then you're going to want all the stuff in the performance pack anyway. Especially the shorter gears, brembos, and whatever they're calling the driver assist software.
>I think I should get a 2024 Mustang GT while they're available even if it means drowning in debt.GOOD GOY
>>27759722This is why you get a 230i or 430i and never look back.
>>27759722Yup, shitsuxbr0>>27759751Flappy paddles are crucial on the new Moostangs. The auto tranny shifting at random times causes these crowd crashes because the trans will shift and you suddenly unpredictably gain grip in the middle of a burnout/slide, leading to overcorrecting or fishtailing and dedt. drove a 2023 Egoboost off a freeway onramp during a drift. trans shifted, suddenly hooked up while correcting the slide. fell into a field and eventually drove back onto the freeway, rental cuntpany never found out(never buy rental cars)
/qa/ won
>>27723258The Mustang is on borrowed time and will follow the same fate as the Camaro and the watermelonmobile. They don't sell very well and their meh fuel economy is just hurting the numbers for the rest of the lineup.
>>27771777>their meh fuel economy is just hurting the numbers for the rest of the lineup.the reason mustang survives is because ford plans exactly for this, whereas Chevy/dodge failed to and were basically forced to cut their cars
If you’re looking at any American muscle car and not selecting the v8 version, just buy some weebshit or a eurobar. Part of the joyous experience of driving American muscle is the simple sound and harmony from a v8 engine loping up front. Whether it’s at idle or at redline, this is the experience you’re craving, this is what you’re paying for and at a discount compared to equivalent euro or weeb brands. It’s the second best time to be an auto enjoyer, don’t settle or you’ll regret it.
>>27725315>will lower my risk of death due to ill health, stressSo are you a coal miner or something, or one of those fags who think working in an air conditioned office building is "dehumanizing"?
>>27763712good to know that it's apparently impossible to ever lose traction in a manual car...
>>27725313I think Ford intentionally wants this car to be a low volume sales dud. Milk the few boomers left who can afford the high pricing for a V8 coupe then wind down production after this gen and claim their hands were tied as the Mustang turns into something else beyond 2028.

>>27723258Fucking why? Dealerships still have Challengers. There's thousands of them that haven't been snatched up. You get better build quality in a more ergonomic package for daily use, plus it doesn't look like a constipated eurotrash "sports car". An R/T is marginally more expensive, more reliable, and infinitely more fun and modifiable than an Ecoboost Mustang.
It's not bad if you option it properly (at least a GT Performance Pack). The base GT looks like it has a V6 in terms of how wide the rims are.
>I'm poor and maybe I should drown myself in debt to get a pony car without a V8I'm from bongland where fuel costs 11 million dollars and even I can see how pathetic this is OP
>>27723258Gonna be honest. I'm sad that the last affordable V8 muscle car is going to end on that ugly ass Mustang. It would be nice if they made another generation that looked better.

>>27723258The Subaru WRX is closer to being a muscle car than the mustang
>>27802341Look don't get me wrong, it's an ugly car, but I don't understand people who say it doesn't look "like a mustang"Because what the fuck does a msuatng look like? A 65 Mustang looks nothing like a Mustang II, which looks nothing like a foxbody, which looks nothing like a SN95, which looks nothing like a S197, which looks nothing like a S550. I mean even within the same generation sometimes, a 2005 Mustang barely looks like the same car as a 2014 one.
>>27723361I've been looking at Challengers/Chargers, scat packs, and all the new ones are like 60k with used ones sitting at 40+. The ones that are decently priced are at those sketchy ass car lots and/or have an accident on the record.
>>27824493The Mustang is a Pony car. Besides that point, is the WRX a long hood short deck coupe with a choice of engines up front driving the rear wheels? If not you should kill yourself for saying something so retarded.
