The pre-refresh S197 is still the best-looking 'stang since the first gen.
slow and uglylike you lol
>>28892652Strongly agree, despite you choosing the worst photo possibleEven the Giugiaro concept would be favorable to what we have now
>>28892652Had one of these as my first car, brand new. Shit was cash.
that car and the camaro always looked like they had toy pedal car proportions
>>28892652I like many other gens but the early S197 was easily the most "Mustang" since the original
>>28892652It's pretty, but...>solid rear axle>4.6 modular
>>28892720>live rear axleGood for what people use Mustangs for IE going fast in a straight line>4.6yeah i wish this model had the coyote
>>28892720Those solid axle stangs would go on to get a 7:39 at the nurburgring. faster than any BMW, AMG coupe, and Audi coupe at the time. the solid axle keeps the wheels level with the ground even when the car wobbles.
>>28892652No
>>28892652Too bad the interiors are dogshit.My dad has some rare Saleen-type supercharged model and it's cool but the interior is the most grey plastic dogshit.
>>28892775The solid axle causes one wheel to move out of alignment if the other hits a bump. That is the exact opposite of ideal. There's a reason not even 'stangs are built with them anymore.>>28892766>yeah i wish this model had the coyoteSo do it yourself. The Coyote bolts to the same motor mounts and transmissions as the 4.6. It's a piss-simple swap.
>>28892778Has the same front end as every NPC sedan of its time. Seriously looks like someone riced out their grandpa's crown vic.The new edge and the foxbody both looked like regular traffic for their time.
>>28892782>The new edge and the foxbody both looked like regular traffic for their time.That's why they're the best. The styling of the other modern mustangs is too aggressive. The notchback was pure kino.
>>28892783I agree the stupid angry eyes of the s550 and beyond are too much, but I think the retro styling of the s197 was a good middle ground. It stood out from traffic but its round headlights and flat, stoic "face" weren't overly tryhard.At the end of the day, there's a reason everyone went for this mustang in 06 and not the Pontiac GTO even though it was faster. It just looks that good.
>>28892785When the s197 came out everyone did flip out. I remember that it was a cool car at the time. The GTO was based but looked like it was styled by Saturn.
>>28892785I still think they could have easily kept the styling of the S197 going. Throw some LED DRLs or whatever bullshit at it as a facelift, and it wouldn't have looked out of place, say, as a 2020 model next to a 2020 Challenger for instance. The pre-facelift Chally was sold when the S197 was still in showrooms after all, and Dodge managed to stretch it and it's retro styling nearly a decade longer than Ford. The newer Mustangs damn near look like tuner cars by comparison rather than aggressive muscle cars.
>>28892670this.>>28892652FUCK YOU
>>28893170seething gen x/millennial
>>28892652I've never seen a single one on the road that doesn't look like some beat up pile of shit. Nobody that has ever bought one took even the slightest bit of care for it. Say what you want about how expensive new mustangs are, when you price out stupid fucking 2 digit iq trash that will never amount to anything in life and always be poor, you end up with cars that are bought by people that are smart enough to care about what they bought, and so it looks better longer. For instance till this day I don't think I've ever seen a beat up run down gen1 s550. Poor people can't afford them. It's a shame nobody took care of these old mustangs.
>>28892652aged like milk
Down Syndrome styling
for me it's the Mustang II
>>28893384I dunno, I bought my 2010 GT last September with 85k miles. Looks like it was someone's garage princess desu. Minor things.. like some admittedly obnoxious paint chips in the front; but otherwise looks and runs great. (no burning oil, no bullshit mechanical issues, no botched DIY shit)
>>28893451I could never take those seriously.
>>28892766>Good for going fast in a straight lineExcept there are about 3 billion examples on youtube of how they literally could not without spinning out unless they were already going freeway speeds>>28892781>piss-simple swapExcept for the ecu and other bullshit you need to bring over too to control the quad vvt, gdi, variable oil pump, etc which you then need to tie into the car itself, most importantly the gauge cluster.
>>28893523>they literally could not without spinning outUser error.
>>28892783gay E30 lol
>>28893582Yes, it does mog the gay E30
the 3v people must have been so pissed in 2011 when the coyote came out
>>28892652Some of them look good and some look like shit and I can't tell why
Looks retarded. Why do flyovers have such shit taste.
>>28893479Is that an,Opel?
so who wants a 4 door v8 mustang? gonna be a thing apparently.
>>28893523There's a million and one Coyotes running around out there in restomods, and New Edge 'Stangs are not electrically complicated. Everything that needs to be done is extremely well documented. If you can't do it yourself you should probably take a 9mm aspirin.
>>28893723I'll take it over an electric "Mustang" SUV.
>>28892652Fuckin' love the prefresh S197, but even riced out trash is too much money over here. I mean, I kinda get it 'cause you have import charges and such that keep prices elevated, but still...
>>28893723Those are called 'Fairlane' and 'Galaxie'.
>>28892778Good car (terminators are baller)Terrible mustang. It looks nothing like one, the tail is a terrible rendition of the mustang. Still a good car but not a good attempt at looking like a mustang
>>28892782>The new edge and the foxbody both looked like regular traffic for their time.The foxbody was very understated, but post what car you think looked like a New Edge from the same era.
>>28892652The SN95 was better. Still had call back to the older generations without having to stoop to pandering to false nostalgia.
my dad has a convertible one of these in whiteits quite fun to drive around and does look good
>>28893644I sure was because Ford should have had >>28894066 motor the standard in the GT instaed of the gay stop-gap 3 valve.
>>28894082The 3V wasn't bad. It made basically the same hp/tq as a Mach 1 while being cheaper to produce because SOHC vs DOHC.
>>28894086No doubt, bbut I still got beat by a Mach 1 back in the day so I still remember some butthurt at the time lol
>>28894066Faggy millennial RCR fanboy
>>28894041any panther body
>>28894142Yeah, SN95s were a couple hundred pounds lighter so the 4V cars were a little quicker.>>28894974I'm not seeing it Anon.
>>28894082so you are saying the 2005-2010 s197 should've had the 2v instead of the 3v? Presumingly with a slight power increase. I dont know because on jewtube the 3v gets dickrided almost more than any ford motor besides the 5.0. i get constant 3v cope videos in my suggestions and I don't even on a Ford
>>28895011the rear looks fine i'm talking about the front
>>28895110The Mach 1 in the pic he was responding to has a 4V, not a 2V Anon.
>>28892652unironically one of the ugliest cars
>>28895149Yeah, I'm still not seeing it.
this gen of mustang always just reminds me of gta
>>28895224Looks like an '11 refresh that used the '70 front end instead of the '69 for inspiration.
>>28892652Who drives them?
>>28895245Japs seem to like them.
>>28893461Yea I think when people saw the 2010+ mustangs that was when people first started taking ford and mustang seriously and started taking care of them. I rarely see 2010-2014 mustangs but when I do they are always in very decent or great condition. I think people were so impressed with the 2010+ mustangs they finally became a status car. The GT outpriced the broke retards that would inherently trash them. Which would explain why you see alot of shitty v6's. The v8 was no longer the college kids first car. Then the s550 came out and nobody even remembers how much disrespect the mustang had. I'll never forget the feeling though when ford released the first generation pre coyote s197s the way America talked about it. It was like for the first time we got a mega corporation to listen to the people and give us what we want. A modern muscle car mustang that looked classic. It made such an impact dodge and Chevy had to follow along. Globohomo didn't like that feeling Americans got. So they found a way to murder the camaro, turned the challenger into an electric car and almost got away with murdering the mustang by turning it into that faggot ass electric crossover.Before Trump leaves office god I hope he publicly executes some people
>>28892652It's....It's a Chodge Darger.
>>28895543(V6)
>>28892652Is that a Roush?
>>28892670>>28893170>>28893700>>28895193One of the best looking and selling mustangs in the history of the vehicle and it might be slower than alot of other mustangs but I guarantee I could still outrun your shitbox with my beat up 05. Get some taste or just go back to /lgbt/.
>>28892652Now that's a cope and a half.Don't worry, in a few years you'll be able to afford the facelift and then that one will be the best looking and so on.
>>28892670/thread
>>28899758>>28899768Alot of fags on this board today
>>28892652The trvthnvke that bvck broke /o/
>>28899772Funny how these shit eating contrarians never post a better looking car from the era either.
>>28899652>05 mustang>tasteonly niggers like this ugly car
Case in point.
>>28892778>fake vents
I'd like some not blown up, or kitted out 90s or early 2000s Mustang just a clean, running Mustang for my daily driver
>>28900397>from the eraWhy does it have to be from that period? Why not newer? Hmmmm?
>>28900403I get compliments all the time just on my shitty 05 nigger, you're just salty because you're a faggot fanboy of some other car and it drives you compulsively to hate mustangs. Please cease your retardation immediately.
>>28900531What's stopping you?>>28900535Do you usually compare things from different eras Anon?>>28901541Yeah, the anti-Ford trannies have been pretty vocal lately.
>>28901988it's not ford haters, it's SN95 fanboys mad that their piece of shit got dethroned in 05
>>28903115That's pretty illogical, stangbros don't usually hate on each other.
>>28903117I don't hate on the stang gang but I think sn95s are pig disgusting t. 2006 daily driver
>>28901988>Do you usually compare things from different eras Anon?Yes. Especially when it comes to looks. I compare everything in my budget when I'm itching to buy something.
>>28903117the mock-e trans-stangs are an exception though. fuck those faggots, pic very much related:
>>28903587Those aren't Mustangs, they're abominations that some soulless fuck in a suit slapped the name on in a poorly conceived attempt to capture existing good will and transfer it to an equally soulless electric transport pod.
