What are your opinions on this generation Mustang?

Sucks dick.

It was btfo by m3

Now there's an old shitpost.

bad.
worse than the mustang II

Cause no one wanted the camaro for 8 years kek

official car of my sweet sixteen

Shittiest /ugliest Mustang.

I like the body but the engine is fucked. ~2000-~2010 ford engines suck.

What are you smoking m8? 4th gen mustangs are objectively the worst looking mustang

wrong

Foxbody is the worst with no competition

then comes the S197

fox body takes some getting used to but it's not the worst

yes

yes it is

worst Mustang

>worst Mustang
>not the II
Then again, your spacing gives you away...

:eyeroll

ofc you go shitposting retard

yes the car that saved the Mustang is the worst compared to the ugly shit stain that nearly killed it

The II is far uglier - it looks fat, and it doesn't help that it's slow and shit to boot.
>i-it saved the Mustang!
The Mustang didn't deserve saving.

It's not THAT bad...

lolno

Foxbody is hideous cant even be saved aesthetically

Mustang II is much lighter too

The Cobra is a meme.

thats not a Cobra

even if it was its not a meme you cringelord

You're a meme.

Well you're a poop head.

It's probably the most douchiest looking of the bunch

I like the look better than the newest model

if you can get one for way under 10k, they are worth it.
yes the 5.0 is faster but it's not a kys faster comparison.

4.6 owner here, I love it.

Love the body work but the interior is fairly spartan. Couple that with the Modular and you're kind of wanting for more.

Pretty much this. I wouldn't say that stuff before '11 is trash but 2011 is when Ford really got their shit together across the board.

Frankly I love the first run S197 and would love to have one as a project but other than that stick to '11 and thereafter.

Wow thanks for contributing invaluable information to this thread. Veeky Forums needs more people like you. Keep up the good work.

A 2011 v6 is faster and turns better, that's KYS status

no it's not lol.
I always BTFO all the V6 mustangs.

Great design for the time, but looks way too fat now.

Good bargain for performance. Fixes all of the Fox platform's suspension geometry issues, and the 3v 4.6 makes decent power and has plenty more on tap.

I live in an air force dormitory/barracks that houses at least 170 people. There are at least 6 mustangs of that generation alone. Almost every owner of a muscle car here is an aircraft maintainer or security forces, and every single one that owns one is broke as fuck.

Maybe older models pal, newers are just as fast and they can easily BTFO you at a track

This is probly true but it'll never be as iconic as the Fox. especially since the Coyote came along and outshined it after the facelift. All of the "lolcantturn" memes have been erased with time, the new models are a corner carving spectacle.

Was just pointing out how it was different from the SN95 and Fox cars that came before it. The S197 has ackermann that actually works correctly and a panhard bar, for example.

I still say this is the best looking mustang.

>muh track
lol I hope you know someone that can actually drive on a track. I waste m3s because the drivers are garbage. Just because it's better on the track doesn't mean I'm going to lose. It's all about the driver. Lol did initial D teach you anything?

boomer/10

Fuck you foxbody fastbacks are dope

I think it'd be close but the old v8 has a better torque curve and will have a limited slip and better brakes.

>fake hood scoop
>fake rear vents
Gross

>All of the "lolcantturn" memes have been erased with time, the new models are a corner carving spectacle.
Which is a problem for anyone who isn't a racetrack driver. All that technology made the Mustang too expensive for the average Joe who just wants to burn rubber and go fast quickly.

Overall shape is cool though, and front and rear fascias look nice. Just needs to be lowered and needs a new set of wheels. 90s cars are seriously let down by their OEM wheels most of the time.

>32000 for a new base by
>expensive

I'll give you that, the front looks extremely nice compared to everything else on the road at that time. It's low and streamlined look beat out all the bubble faced cars in contention. And that gen Camaro is a Frankenstein looking sonuvabitch.

The rear I'm indifferent on. It's average.

*base GT fucking autocorrect

Even if you made 60k a year, that's still isn't cheap. Don't be stupid.

32000? Where are you seeing those prices? I see 33,195 MSRP for the base GT Manual Coupe, and you and I both know that nobody is getting any new car at or under MSRP.

At least it's not like the GT-equivalent Camaro which is nearly 39000 fucking dollars. That's ridiculous. They don't know their market anymore.

I don't much care for this thread but you are a fucking infectious human waste for posting Aubrey Graham

>did initial D teach you anything?
That fags who use the gutter win.

Then buy used. That's pretty damn cheap for the performance you get. What would be your definition of cheap?

Cheap car that can be made a decent track car for not really that much
at the very worst it's a good source for an engine, tranny, and diff

>seriously responding to drake poster

you dont have to be this dumb

>for the performance you get

I agree, but it's not exactly cheap anymore.

For a recent current gen Mustang I would consider 25K-28K a reasonable price.

.>bad mpg
>okay sports car
>normie sports car
>good aesthetic

i guess its good?

Ugliest mustangs. People who have a hard on for foxbodies are your typical broke boxy shitblox lovers you find all over Veeky Forums for whatever reason.

sn95>foxbody>gen2

In order of ugliness ofc

>typical broke boxy shitblox lovers you find all over Veeky Forums for whatever reason.
Reason being most posters here are 18-30 years old and poor to middle income. Young people can only afford old shit, older people either still have old shit or have nostalgia for old shit. That, and Initial D influence of 80s/90s shitbox loving.

Modular sucks dick.

1>3>2>5>6>4

You shut your whore mouth.

I love how they look but I've never even been inside one. I've driven the previous gen mustang GT though, it felt really cramped inside and was made of shit plastic but it was pretty quick.
Heavy as fuck too.
Not sure how much of that applies to that gen though maybe they fixed it.

t. nigger

its fucking ugly god damn

I own a 2006 GT.

Don't listen to the haters, it's no 5.0 but 300 horses is more than you'll ever need in a daily driver. It's fun, fast enough and sounds pretty good. Easy as hell to mod to your hearts content.

As a 2010 GT owner I'm in this group here. Like I was saying the Coyote eventually made it very forgettable by comparison but that can be attributed to Ford getting everything right in the '11-'14 models. (Suspension improvements, 120 increased HP over prior models with no weight increase at all.

The 4.6 is a little asthmatic out of the factory, but standard breather mods fix that issue.

Track performance is superior, mainly because of the better suspension and higher revs.

Drag racing is pretty much the same, the GT has more torque but less revs, the V6 has an easier time staying on the power band while shifting. It's more of a driver's race really.

5th gen span from 2005-2014
2005-2010 had the crappy engines
2011- the current 6th gen have the 3.7 and 5.0
not to mention 2014 got the "facelift"

all that aside, i love the exterior look, all retro and whatnot, i wish they did what dodge is doing with the challenger and kept that retro look, more money could have been spent on the interior or something. other than the exterior look, i can't really say i would buy one

>not to mention 2014 got the "facelift"
2013 got the facelift for the S197 II

the 2011 V6 is slower and has THE EXACT SAME SUSPENSION DESIGN.

holy shit how many times does this have to be reiterated. Very minor tweaks such as damper valving and sway bar tuning amount to fuck all when you consider that anyone tracking these cars would replace all those parts with much more capable aftermarket units regardless.

The only difference in lap times is attributed to newer tire technology. that's it.

....

Now that's out of the way...consider that a 2005-2009 GT is cheaper to buy, and if you spend the difference on mods the older GT would run rings around a stock 11+v6 with even more tuning potential to boot

>300hp/320lb-ft stock
>reliable
>massive aftermarket
>cheap to buy
>rwd V8 manual

it's literally the perfect entry level "fun" car that can be driven everyday

Dont crash that dash will cut you tm.

Does it really though? I've seen people telling that the 3.7 has the same potential as the 5.0 because they share the same technology, stock block can manage 600hp before needing forged internals.

2011 v6 has better lap times than the 2010 GT, I don't think tires evolve that much in a year though.

just because it can theoretically handle that much power doesn't mean it's easy to get it there. It's exponentially harder to make that kind of power from a high string v6 vs. a regular old V8

what I meant with my original post was stuff like CAI, headers, cams, exhaust...you get way more out of mods like that on a 4.6 than you do on a 3.7L v6

no one should be boosting a mustang (unless it's a shelby), let alone a V6 mustang past 600hp that's just retarded. buy a better car at that point.

besides, who the fuck would want to put all that money into a V6 mustang

>citation needed

yeah that's total BS because the 2011 V6 has the older GT suspension. If what you're saying is true it's probably driver mod or the test was on a go-kart track

I have one

It's for 348rwhp from cams, exhaust and intakes and other stuff. I love it. 26mpg on the highway. Turns heads, girls love it and it's fun. Only thing I hate is my fuel gauge is fucked right now and I have air in my brake lines but that's fixable.

Bleed your brakes user

good v6 (2011+) when with the 6 speed crap blooper reel of a v8. but can be swapped for coyote cos LS is for fucking queers

Has anyone ever gone so far as even to need more to do look more like?

They tested the V6 2011 with the performance package though, 5hat means 3.31 gears + Mustang 2011 suspension with some Shelby nods.

I drove 2008, moved to a 2016 GT last year.

It was a fun car that sounded great (better than the 5.0 honestly), but the new GTs are a lot more refined in performance and interior

like someone mentioned they're a good entry level fun car. I had a blast

>Better than the 5.0

It's because 2015+ have a quieter exhaust configuration compared with the 2011 - 2014 Mustangs.

? All of Ford's modular engines sounded better than the Coyote - even with after market exhausts. The 5.0 sounds more "raspy"

Just pointing out that compared to the 2011 - 2014 models, 2015 GTs sound quite a bit quieter and different.

I prefer the 5.0 sound tho, that sound at 6-7k revs is priceless.

Retro S197s are dope

Had a 70 year old v6 until 2012

Coyote is better but it's fucking huge and the LS can be modded way more.

Shittiewt looking mustang desu and shit at turning while also being slower than a modern 6 cyl by a huge margin.
