So I've been away from these forums for a long time now. After selling my toys and growing older and more boring, I've been just focusing on other things in life and have owned boring BMW daily drivers for a while now.
....until recently decided to get back into checking out the mustang scene and forums. Something I've been out of the loop from for years now. So I come back and am checking out the new 2015 which I definitely like a lot. I finally feel ford NAILED the rear end on this car, while keeping the front modern yet retro. Something that I feel they almost got right with the 2005 models but then screwed up on the rear-end with the later models.
Though, for the first time ever, I am debating getting the V6.....Yeah, awkward, I know...especially after having owned 2x Cobras. But the new GT is (SOMEHOW) INSANELY PRICED, and I just like the 2015 body style TOO MUCH to revert to like an older 2010 GT. I guess I've been out of the loop for too long now. When did a GT become a $40,000+ car?
Don't get me wrong, I think the performance looks solid from the GT, but not for the price. For that price I'd just get a 2010 Shelby GT500 again or something (only I'm not because I dont want big payments again). I'm hoenstly wondering how Ford is goign to sell the new 2015 GTs considering most mustang enthusiasts would probably do just that.
So that brings me to the 2015 V6. Most of you die hard stang lovers probably stopped reading by now, as I would have years ago when someone said they are turning down a new GT for a new V6 hahahaha. But my goal is to pick up a nice daily driver/cruiser and keep my cheap ~$300/mo payments on a lease or fiance (most likely a finance) of a new mustang. I still have a year+ left on my 2014 320x BMW lease. So I start my quest for a mustang again. I've done the modding, done the racing, have had gloveboxes full of time slips. Just looking for something sexy and enjoyable this time around, and I think the 2015 Mustang could be it.
So if you're still reading this...what is your guy's input on the new (manual) V6 stang?
I'm not too interested in the ECO-BOOST ironically. Just not into the 4cyl turbo.
It seems most magazines and articles I find ONLY compare the GT to the 4cl Eco boost, having totally written off the V6 as a non-factor, only viable as a Hertz Rental Car....ouch.
