I blew the fking doors off an M3 not so long ago that tried to hassle me. LMFAO.
Oooooooops guess it's hard to tell model and year differences from behind when you are just another d-bag leasing a BMW.
Yep, you heard me posters....why rag on the mustangs etc. when the majority of BMW's out there are driven by leasers living in apartments and their parents basements?
Oh snap.
And the majority of BMWs are never driven faster than 70mph.
The Mustang GT, the Challenger and the Camero--my problem with them is that all I ever see is old farts like me with grey hair driving them. I'm 50 so was in at the end of the muscle car era back in the day. I had a '68 Dodge Charger and a '70 Dodge Dart Swinger 340. I loved those cars back then, but I don't need to relive that anymore. I have moved on.
The problem I see is they have these new retro cars so overpriced that the people who should be driving them cannot afford them. The idea behind the performance cars back in the day was to attract young buyers and build excitement in a brand of car so you can try to keep them as long range customers. Dodge hoped that the 19 year old Charger or Challenger driver would eventually trade that in for a Fury Wagon someday.
Now these old farts are running around in these cars and ruining the entire idea IMO. This is a dead end for the big 3.
Now VW, Toyota and Nissan-they get it. They make cool cars that young people can afford and they build long term customers.
Camaro
Depends on where you are. I see plenty of young folk with Mustang GTs and moreso the new 5.0 as they ditch their older F-body, C5, GTO for the new fast car on the block. I see a few older folk with the SS and numerous older folk with the Challenger R/T and more expensive models. Which makes sense as the 5.0 and SRT8 are at opposite ends of the price structure.
I think the underscore above is correct but with qualifications. It is nuts to think a 19 year old can afford any of the brand new performance models. Impossible back in 1983 when I was in the market.
VW, Toyota, Nissan cool? Not at all. Practical but not cool.
Old Farts? You must be severely out of shape to consider yourself so low at 50.
Amen! I have to put up with the same stupid comments about my Z06.
The new mustangs are AWESOME. Especially for the money.
A lot of ignorance flying around this thread.

What makes me laugh, is when people find out that it's MY car, not my boyfriend's, and that it's a stick. Apparently I didn't get the "chick model"!?
Oh...and when people think that I can't "drive" it...HA! I wouldn't have it if I couldn't handle it!

That's right, because we all know that only guys are supposed to drive the GTs, while chicks are supposed to get the V6... with an automatic, of course!
Ya know, if you weren't already engaged, you'd be a good catch.... you drive a Mustang GT, like rock music, and like dogs too. Have ya got any single sisters like you? LOL

lol...Well thanks! No single sisters, at all. And nope...none like me! I'm "one of a kind!"
How old are you? My 26 year old daughter bought a new Jetta Wolfsburg 2.0 Turbo. I'm 50 and grew up loving American Muscle cars but I would take that car over a Mustang (unless it was the 40K + Shelby).
The kids definitely prefer VW's to American retro cars.
The only thing missing from the American Retro cars are a shelf for the 10 boxes of kleenix and hats that the old duffers like to line up in the rear window
Based on everything I have read you say on this thread, I don't think you are in touch with young people and I am beginning to doubt you know any young people.
Young people are the only ones I know who routinely drive the cars we're talking about in this thread and I have never once in my car loving life ever heard anyone drool or look at a Jetta. Let alone a young person. I mean, for real?
