To this fitness thread with this conversation but losing 20 pounds in 1.5 months is not the way you want to lose weight.

:iagree: these cars depreciate fast so makes sense just to get a lightly used one.

i remember seeing a m5 going for 90K new, and one that was like 2yrs old with less than 25k miles was going for $55k+ at carmax. wow... 35K loss in 2yrs? :eekdance:

I bought a 540i M-sport 6MT (poor man's M5) that was 6 years old in great shape for 11% of the sticker price. Put 200,000 bonus miles on it and sold it (still running well) for 8% of sticker.

I agree 20lbs in 6 weeks is bad for the body.. unless you are like 400lbs.. then it's a drop in th bucket..

sorry 19% body fat.. not exactly track star.. but no obese.. I am sub 200lbs..I will hit 175 soon

Pitch 12-06-2013 11:25 AM

I'm a huge audi fanboy. The only company I'm bias for

Dream is to hair an s5 as dd and ttrs as weekend warrior...but they are so darn expensive. And if u bought German I'd want new cause we all know about maintenance for those cars

Look what is listed under "Vehicles Under Development"

Sorry if this has been answered, but whats the curb weight for the GT?

No numbers have been announced yet (probably won't get them until next spring,) but Ford insists that weight targets "have been met." So roughly 200lbs lighter is likely the case.

An important thing to note with the weight is that while losing 200 lbs, it's also replacing the 115+lbs of unsprung rear axle with a new rear suspension.

theDreamer 12-06-2013 02:11 PM

Am hearing the IRS is coming from the engineers behind the Fusion model. Took that IRS as the start and then worked from it into the Mustang.

m4a1mustang 12-06-2013 02:18 PM

It is using an integral link rear suspension (likely a high-performance evolution from the AWD versions of the CD platform.)

2015 Ford Mustang Rear Suspension Photo 10

And they redesigned the front. No longer a lower control "A" arm. They are using the dual control link like on a lot of the higher-end MacPherson strut equipped cars... M3, 911, etc.

That's a bit of a stretch. Accord Coupe and C250 Coupe look alike... Mustang? No.

Also, I owe you stickers.

Cmike2780 12-06-2013 03:58 PM

Nothing irritates me more than people who say ______car looks like "X" car. It happens every time something new comes out. There's only so many ways to bend sheet metal and only so many designs. Design elements can have resemblances and cues, but it's far from plagiarized concepts. It's like a bunch of 4 year olds comparing oranges and apples. Sometimes you just gotta give up and tell them, yes...they're both apples.

My point is, you'll find similarities if that's what you want to see.

There are many more similarities between the Mustang and Accord profiles posted above. The long front/rear overhangs. The long rear quarter window. The flat rear end. The curvy roof line. The slim headlights that wrap around to the side.

I am curious to see how this new eco-boost model will pan out. I'll bet the majority of the Mustangs Ford sells will continue to be the v6 and the gear heads will most likely opt for the 5.0. I can't forsee there being too much of a price difference between the 3.7 and the 5.0

didymus 12-06-2013 05:38 PM

First impression much better than current design. Especially the roofline and side windows. Rear looks a bit weird. Front looks pretty good. Dont like the vertical bits (fangs?) on the front. And interior looks stupid but thats no surprise

Pitch 12-06-2013 05:43 PM

The v6 is the cheapest. Economy boost is like...800 more or something. 5.0 is 1700 more or some **** I saw a while ago

Check out Cmike's post if you need a play-by-play.

And you are exactly right if you ignore the wrap around tails, QPR trim, FB profile, and OA profile

I was on the fence until my brother sent me a photo of the GT

Then I clicked on this thread and found this photo

I like it wayyyyy better in GT trim

jlo370z 12-06-2013 06:24 PM

the Gt is growing on me, cant wait to see one in person

They are using Competition Orange, which I think is going to be the same as the current Competition Orange.

Nevertheless here are the color examples they had at the reveal. Competition Orange is after Triple Yellow.

http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/atta...1&d=1386363099

My favorite, I think, is Guard. I want to see it on the actual car.

http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/atta...6&d=1386344721

Red__Zed 12-06-2013 07:24 PM

I like guard. Think it will look great with the car's lines.

Pitch 12-06-2013 07:31 PM

The Mustang doesn't come In orange now does it? Who uses that orange?

What is guard? A gun metal with a dark green tint?

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

m4a1mustang 12-06-2013 07:36 PM

The Boss is available in Competition Orange.

And yeah, Guard is a medium/dark gray with a lot of green tint/flake.

It's not the easiest to photograph. You'd just have to wait until you can see it in person.

I read his post. Would like to hear the similarities that you see since you put up the comparison.

I never said they were exactly the same, but they're more similar than having 4 wheels and two doors.
