orange whip 04 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 With all the avenues opening up for future mustang models, I though it would be interesting to know what everyone might be buying in the next few years. Some models may not be available as of yet, but it only seems logical that they would appear sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkittrell Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 How does anything they build that I can get in a convertible sound? :D My story is thus...I've always loved the Mustang. Don't know when I saw my first one or why they seemed to have struck a chord but I do know that ever since I was a kid, I've wanted a Mustang and I told myself that I would own one one day. I'm not really a gearhead or probably as big an enthusiast as some others, but the car just does something for me. I finally realized my dream in 2001. My wife wanted to stimulate the economy in our own little way after 9/11 and I'd already decided that my next car would be a Mustang. She had a mid 80's 'stang convertible so that part is her dream. So, off we went in search and lo and behold found a gray 2001 Cobra convertible which I owned and drove daily until about 3 weeks ago. Family growth necessitated that I trade it in for a crew cab truck but I did it with a plan. I'd already decided that I would have a Shelby this year or next. If that doesn't work out and a GT350, Mach 1, BOSS, or Bullit come out then I'll probably get one of those. My 2001 had 320HP and the current GT has 300HP so I'm only giving up 20HP if I don't get anything other than a 2009 GT (after the redisign) assuming they don't make any power improvements. Bottom line , I will own another Mustang convertible, whether that's summer 2008 when the '09's are released or shortly thereafter is there is another high performance offering in the making.

jkittrell Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 How about one of these? Autoweek Nah. I want something I can actually drive around town. I'd probably kill myself if I ever tries to do anything other than drive fast in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orf Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I know. I doubt that thing will ever be street legal. I read the article over the weekend, and it stuck in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE stangnut Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I would buy any new Mustang (even a Mach 1 ) if it had a 5.4L n/a engine. An affordable GT350 with better styling than the GT-H would be at the top of my list followed closely by a Boss 329 (just sounds SOO much better than a Boss 330). Then a Bullit would be a distant third and a then a Mach 1, but let's hope it doesn't come to that. I am just so tired of not having any low end torque in the Mustang. It's been this way for over 10 years now. It's time to get back making a Mustang feel & drive like a Mustang. Not a Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob O. Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Give me a Boss in Grabber Blue!! By the time theseactually goes on sale and are affordable my '05 will be ready to trade in and hopefully I'll have some $ saved up to go along with the trade in to get the payments down to where I can afford them. Bring on the Boss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm all for any legendary name/model that is done right and keeps the Mustang's diversity. With that being said, here's what I would buy: Boss 329 GT350 It would be cool to see a Mach1 and a Bullitt too. How about a Twister Special? Or would this be incorrect it today's sensative society?

MustangFanatic Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 For me, it's as simple as a single word: BOSS!!! :bowdown: As long as Ford produces a Boss similar to this: http://www.saleen.com/S302.htm Make mine metallic black A distant second choice would be a much improved GT350 with improved power, styling and handling over the recently introduced GT350-H.

bravestar Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I will buy the next Boss or Mach I. I am hoping for the old 4.6 blown Cobra engine or at the very least, the new Shelby engine without the blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
