This throws a little wrench into things. I'm not even close to considering getting rid of my VT, but I am non stop looking at new cars coming out. Unfortunately I usually keep my cars around two years because I just get bored with them and need something new. There becomes a point where I feel that I've done everything I can do just short or turning it into a track car, and just want to start the modding process over. I'm sure there are others out there like me so I thought I'd open this for us to talk about cars that are grabbing our attention in a positive way. I do think I will be able to keep my VT well beyond the two years, but I always seem to surprise myself with the decisions I make :question:.
The car that has caught my eye recently is one that normally never would, but price for performance is unreal. I was wandering through a ford dealership looking to see if any fiesta ST's had arrived yet (not at all interested in purchasing a fiesta) when I saw a whole row of mustangs. They had a lime green with black stripes up the front and 5.0 on the side that caught my eye. I was think for sure $45k+ based on just looks and performance, so I was completely shocked to see a sticker of $33k. 420 horsepower and the great new looks of the new body...I couldn't believe it. I've ragged on American cars many times but I'm not one to dislike any car just based on manufacturer alone. Making the new mustang front ends look like Shelby's was an awesome move, and also black tails stock adds a nice touch. The one major thing that really makes it something I wouldn't buy, is the fact that you see a ton of them, well, because its a mustang. But honestly even if they were the same price, I'd pick a mustang over a corvette all day long. Corvettes are what they are to me. I like the sleeper aspect so the cars i own usually aren't extremely fast from the factory.
All this being said, what cars out there/coming out do you look at as possible candidates at stealing you away?
