What's funny is when you type 2015 Mustang vs, "Honda Accord" pops up first.

Accord 5.0 is where it's at

Is it though? I'm skeptical as to if it's actually worth it unless you're going to track the car. The stock GT comes with a LSD anyway. Also, I hate the perf. package wheels they're ugly.

What if I get an Accord and throw a 5.0 badge on it with an Acura badge.

Honestly, MRT is not all that good IMO. They do weird shit with their exhausts that are not best practice.
The Ford Racing EB exhaust sounds better than the MRT. It's got Borla cans on it IIRC.
I'm waiting to see who else puts out exhausts before I decide to do anything.

How about Magnaflow?
For some reason when i think about exhaust on American cars, Magnaflow is always the first brand that pop up in my head.

They'd be one I'd wait for ... I'm also curious if some of the Euros like Milltek decide to build one. I'm in no rush and if the bulk of the Mustang sales in Europe turn out to be EBs, and there are enough of them, then I could see them getting in the game.

meh, that's more at home on classic cars. Borla seems to be the best one at this point.

It's $6-7,000 more for the GT. Almost entirely just for the engine. If that's worthwhile money, then definitely get it because the EB is not the same. But it's a LOT of money.

EB will make a great track car but the GT is a great...well...GT car which is what I want though it can go on the track if you want.

Don't forget to get the upgraded interior. Well worth the $400.
Itz JDM y0!
I've never been a Ford guy, but the Raptor, new EcoBoost/GT stang, fusion, GT350, GT, Focus ST & RS, and their SUVs are all pretty damn good in their segments. Their one of my favorite brands today.

The more shocking thing is that LFA is supposed to be a drift car (!)

I'm sure it was, looks like the mules that have been out and about for the past year. I doubt the full production version will be ready until late summer. All we'll see in a couple weeks will likely be a production mock-up.

AMG GT will start at $130k.

Eclass Maybach? WTF is going on

Watched Harris review it at Laguna; sounds like sex.

Serious?
Well, since AMG & Maybach are being considered sub-brands now, I guess it's not illogical.
Maybach being just a step above the top trim for the model. I seem to recall something about this being mentioned about the GL (soon to be GLS) getting a Maybach trim.
IMO, it should be S-Class only. But if enough people will buy it
As long as we don't end up with an E-Class grand coupe, coupe, SUV, sedan, rocketship, USS Enterprise.....

If you look at the price structure, it actually makes sense for them to do this. The highest non-AMG E Class starts at ~$63k or so while the lowest S class starts at $95k. If you tack on the Maybach package for the same price premium that it adds to the S600 ($20k ish) then the E Maybach would be just below the starting price of the S Class so it would actually nicely fill that niche between the two cars.
See above. I'd be shocked if they didn't bring a GL Maybach to market. That's just money sitting on the table for them to pick up. Think of how many rappers would spring for the GL Maybach over an Escalade.

wait wait what???? I step away from AZ for a second and the shit hits the fan!!!!!!
I understand the E clas price difference. But between the E and S there is the CLS.
I guess next we will be seeing Maybach C class, all the Armos be driving in LA.

CLS isn't a 5 seat sedan. It's marketed at a different demographic that wants more sport than a floaty comfy ride.

I am not arguing with you. I see your point. Just saying that putting Maybach every where (to me) is a dilution of the product....

To me being a hyper S class trim makes sense. Kinda like the new Pullman.
BUt to put Maybach on E then C and everywhere in between is diff than just keeping it S class exclusive
