Those rocker switches are pretty badass

The car in general is badass.

Ford accord.


There is something seriously wrong with LA if i don't see Honda Accord at least 20 times a day.

Aman

This Accord thing is getting out of hand...

I drove my aunts A7 Prestige again yesterday... God I can't get enough of that car

RPhilMan1

Someone bite the bullet already and get the new Mustang!

Or throw cash my way and I'll gladly do it.

I'm waiting until the Spring only because I don't want to buy a new car and then have to get winter wheels right away. Most of the wheel options come with summer tires

SamDoe1

Wait!

GT350R is supposed to be announced at the Detroilet autoshow in January. That's the one to get!

Also, they are supposedly announcing the Focus RS there too.

RPhilMan1

Well, just do what I did with the ST and get winter tires right away. I had the tires before the car, and then when I took delivery I went and had my tires swapped out.

New wheels can wait until summer.

Oh man, I hope both of them will be at the Chicago Auto Show! I am definitely going! February 14-22 2015.

charliemike

19" winter tires are hella expensive ... I'm not 100% on the performance pack (I hate black wheels) but $2K for that plus another $1100 for winter tires ... Blergh.

RPhilMan1

255/40-19... ouch, you're right.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...ting=S&tab=All

$1,200 for decent tires such as Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4.

Although looking back at my order history... I did pay $912 for my 235/40R-18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 XL. Ordered in December 2012 so I'm sure the prices were inflated.

But they are so worth it. Love these tires.

On that note, Tire Rack already has the 2015 GT350 in their system.

For 2015 Mustang GT w/perf pckg it has 255/40-19 front and 275/40-19 rear! Which leaves only choice as Blizzak LM-32 staggered at $1,184.

Sorry to double post but I did see this on my way to work this morning. Almost WTF car worthy.

"I love my toaster"

Majofo

Aman has a 2001 Accord..

I think I'd rather take my chances with a first run mustang getrag transmission

RPhilMan1

It's MT.

charliemike

As much as I'd love the GT, I can't justify $7000 for essentially just the V8.

VR1

The Ecoboost with performance pack seems like a really, really good deal honestly, for $33k. A Nismo 370Z runs 40kish, G37 around 40k, and a regular BRZ Monogram is $30k.

Majofo

The MSRP on the GT is only 32k.. it's the creature comforts and track pack that put it over 40k.

ttribe

Bite.Your.Tongue.

charliemike

Well yeah, but I'm not buying a new car and stepping backwards from my Focus ST.

If you compare a EB Premium and GT Premium the difference in price is $7000. As far as I can tell, the only significant difference is the engine.

charliemike

Dude, that's a LOT of money for just an engine. And an engine upgrade at that. It's not like the EB Mustang doesn't come with an engine

Majofo

phew.. I was going to post :aman:

ttribe

Just an engine?! Just an ENGINE?! It's JUST AN ENGINE that changes the whole car! The Car Gods hate you for good reason!

Majofo

Why are we even talking about the GT and EB.. GT350... hello? #fucklogic

Just the V8....

I forgot that you were the one that called a GT86, a RWD tC.

Good lord. I wouldn't want to track a Mustang GT. That will cost an arm and a leg every time you need a new set of tires.

The car better handle well with that much of tires. haha

SamDoe1

Buy winter beater, park Mustang. Problem solved.


Consider it justified.

That's for winter tires, summers would be way less. Ventus V12's are ~$850 for all 4.

I wouldn't want to track a GT because I'd be afraid to bin it into a wall/bridge/tree/other immovable object.

charliemike

I know, I'm the worst : / I love the sound of it but $7K for it is just not worth it, especially when I can get to about 325/400 with a Cobb tune on the EB.

$53K for the GT350 and I don't even want to spend $40K on the GT

I know. I was being a jackass. It's not.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Sorry haha When I talk about tires, I'm talking about the ultra high performance summer tires. It would be pretty much +$1K for a set of those tires.

It sounds like you just don't like tracking any of your car! haha

If you are purely speaking of the price difference in that sense, the EB sounds great.

But if it was my choice to make, I would buy a GT and drop some $ to modify it.. so it would actually go even faster.

I love the EB Mustang too, don't get me wrong. But your justification on the price difference sounds super biased! haha

charliemike

It very much is. It's entirely about money and justification at the moment.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Totally understandable!

I can't wait for you to pick it up and post some pics!

It should be so much more fun to drive than your Focus.

RWD is where it's at!

My modded MS3 was so much, much faster in a straightline than my BRZ is. But really, I don't miss a thing about it. Not trying to defend my ownership like that retard in TLX automotive news thread. But the driving experience of a RWD sports car is just on another level.

SamDoe1

I'd love to track it but learning on a 430hp RWD muscle car is a sure fire way of crashing it. Learning on something smaller and slower is a good place to start before making your way up to racing a high hp car.

Majofo

I repeat #fucklogic

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

It's all good. It's surely easier to learn in a smaller and slower car, but it's just a matter of how you take it out at the track.

Tracking =/= racing. haha
