As some may know, I came upon this new Chariot in December. Totally unexpected purchase and that’s another story. BUT!

MAN I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!! Light years above any iteration that the Mustang has ever had. This particular car in this color has a real retro type feel to me, the badges and the wheels of a lot of sports cars used to be black now everything seems to be going chrome again. Retro?

The last year of the full house power offering (for the GT)2022 is 10 LESS HP @(450). The 10 speed auto is AMAZING! Lightening fast!! The sounds, the power band, the ride. If it proves to be a trouble free car, it TRULY would be the ultimate for the dough for me. I was driving a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Pro 4 and with my commute at 80 MPH, I was at 18 MPG. The MUSTANG GT IS GETTING https://imgur.com/gallery/4jQkXLL . Now at $4.69 a gallon that doesn’t suck. Any GT owners? Let’s post up picks of your ride!

Damn, I love this car..

If they could also build 4dr cars that nice, people would probably buy them.

have a customer that bought one... he's on the four lane and a couple cars in front of him are only doing about 60 mph and so he decided to swing around them and pass... punches down just as he realized there is a county mounty at the top of the hill with radar and so he slows down and pulls over... asked the cop how fast he was going expecting 80-85... cop says he clocked him at 125.

VERY nice but it would have to be a manual for me.
Sports cars and muscle cars > all need to be manual, IMO.
Great looking vehicle!

Looks great, I’ll bet the price reflects that too.

Perception

I wasn't scared of getting embarrassed by a Mustang until those 10 speeds came out. The Coyote is a good engine on it's own, but the 10 speed makes those things freaking fly.

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

The family "car" market has gone to crossover SUVs. I don't get it (well maybe I do a little), but the market has spoken. The four door family sedan is a dead duck.

They did, and people are, completely sold out....

Is it faster than a 1974 Ford Pinto?

Depends, was the pinto fully fueled when it was hit in the rear, understand acceleration figures greatly improve from the explosion!

If you are referring to the Mach-E

C&D report: We tested the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, and it reached 60 mph in 3.7 seconds on its way to a 12.7-second quarter-mile at 101 mph

An NA 2021 GT is 460 HP, 12/6 sec 1/4 and 0-60 in 4.2

People who want bigger people movers want SUVs, or extended cab pickups. There is no market for Tauruses and Crown Vics.

The Mach E might be an incredible vehicle but IMHO should NOT have been badged as a Mustang. Why not Taurus or ????

2015 GT Premium here. I can't believe I bought this 7 years ago, wow time goes by fast. Should be getting her out of storage this weekend. Just over 13k on it.

Beautiful color xantom. I've been wanting to paint mine a similar color (midnight blue), but my body shop wants around $10K to do it. Think I'll wait awhile.

Those MPGs are not bad at all. When I first got my 1987 Mustang GT Convertible I actually remember crawling under the car and looking at the gastank to see if it had a hole in it. The mileage was atrocious. 8-10 mpg city and maybe 13-15 highway but I drove it in a manner that was not conducive to any kind of good mileage.

Yours is making a whole lot more power while getting significantly better miles per gallon.

I am LOVING the styling on the newest and last few generations of Mustangs! One of the best cars of my youth is only getting better with age. Enjoy it!!! The last few years has been in many ways the second coming of America’s muscle car era so it’s not going to last forever.
