Why do we love our s197

07gtmustang · July 19th, 2007, 06:58 PM

Is it the body, the power, how mustang has been the leader since 64 what do you think?

RyanHNT · July 19th, 2007, 06:59 PM

It's so much fun to play with!

orangeRcode · July 19th, 2007, 07:05 PM

I would have to say the retro styling has won alot of people back to the Mustang. 300 hp for under $30,000 is a nice selling point as well.

oldernewbie · July 19th, 2007, 08:09 PM

One badass ride for sure.

stanglifemike · July 19th, 2007, 08:15 PM

Well I've owned a Mustang since I was 16, it was a 66. I will always own Mustangs. Its the retro body, the 3v, the suspension, everything. Stock for stock, my 06 outperforms my 98 by far. Plus it only stickered for 6k more.

crazytaz · July 19th, 2007, 08:34 PM

i would say the retro style, has lots of power, and best looking car on the streets.

06RedfireGT · July 19th, 2007, 11:45 PM

cause its just plain badass

acehogg69 · July 20th, 2007, 07:28 AM

That are the shit!!!

Mrdestboi · July 20th, 2007, 01:11 PM

Ford really hit the mark with these cars! The same way Honda and Toyota are starting a Hybrid craze, Mustangs have started a retro craze! With the success GM and Dodge are hurring to catch up. They are probably looking @ the success thinking "damn i hope we can keep up with that"

MSO · July 20th, 2007, 05:20 PM

i wud say the fact that it works on land

notin like drivin ur boat right up to ur house

Regency 2007 · July 20th, 2007, 06:55 PM

Retrostyling, 300hp/320ft lbs for $25,000, the name, and being able to smack 99% of the cars on the road, oh and also these motors can handle 10lbs of boost safely!

07_427R · July 20th, 2007, 09:26 PM

Styling for sure. I love the Retro look that Ford came up with. A little old school fitted with the latest technology. HP can be made by any manufacturer but to wrap it around a marketable body style is the key and Ford did that for sure!!!

fuck you 93hp.

05mustang_TT_charged · July 20th, 2007, 11:20 PM

the look and the fact you can bolt on 200 more rwhp and beat up on the cobra's and look better doing it. O and the way the aftermarket took to the car immediatly

TheUNZippee! · July 20th, 2007, 11:26 PM

The look. The sound. The handling. The power. Yeah, MSO, the car is heavy. But a big part of that is because structurally the car is 30% stiffer than the previous generation Mustangs, so that it actually handles and rides nice. That's the one thing I love the most, perhaps. Taking people for a ride in it, and having them expect a brick in the corners, and then scaring the ever loving shit out of them through some twisties, and hearing them say they can't believe how well the car handles. That never gets old.

Giving a ricer a correction while getting an erection also washing and waxing is close to masturbation. giving someone a Hell Ride then watch as they look back at it while you both walk back to the house.

The look is what I liked, I always knew they were fun to ride and was thrilled with the support of the aftermarket.

I'm getting all misty, sorry. I told myself I wouldn't.

I Love the TQ. I've had fast cars, but none that pulled from such low RPM's like my 07. hell i bet you guys with the 3.73's and 4.10's have a lot of fun. except when you have to go and price tires.
