I'd twin turbo my Mustang if I wasn't so in love with the Z.

it might be.....but it will for sure not be reliable at all....

Trust me, that the power:weight ratio is going to be really bad compared to the Z. Don't worry about being walked by one. Aside from that, it's closer to a BMW 335 than a Z. Back seats, twin turbo, etc. Honestly, I don't like the looks of most Fords in the first place, but I can tell you this will be a big seller. It will get good economy and likely push forced induction to other manufacturers.

Would never spend that much on a ford.

Invest $10K in a ford and it's worth $4K

Crash · 02-15-2009, 02:13 AM

^^^ LOL! Most of the 03-04 SVT Mustangs kept their value pretty good. And obviously the 2006 Fort GT is going to keep its value (if not appreciate). But for the most part, you're right.

I believe those 03/04 cobras have held up decently because of their small production run. A quick check of autotrader reveals only 2 in the phoenix area, both of them low $20s.
The gt better keep its value, lol.

how does this have anything to do with the z?

^^ good question.........the guy is just mentioning about the Ford
(Found Or Repair Daily) or (Found On Road Dead)

My first Z didn't get me home the day I bought it. It spent the next 3 weeks at the dealer having parts exchanged in an attempt to get it running. The first Ford I bought never saw the inside of a dealership in the 100,000 mils I owned it.

Good news, my new 370 got me home from the dealership in Indianapolis yesterday.

You never know!

Meh... Corrections:
Ford -> They circled the problem!

Found on road dead
Fixed or repaired daily
F*#$ed on race day
Forgive our retarded designers

How about backwards:
Driver returns on foot
Don't rely on fords

I'm sure there's a bunch, but Ford has been making good cars for the past couple of years. They've stepped up their standards. But the truth is that I just can't rely on an American car anymore.

To be honest with you guys I'm far more worried about reliability of this Nissan than I am of any of the Fords I had in the past. Fords last forever if you take care of them.
