I've wanted a mustang ever since the 92' fox bodies when I was a junior in highschool. Of course my dad said no way you'll kill yourself son!! lol Those things don't even have half the power of the new 5.0's man things have come a long way in the last 20+ years. Just this week I asked the wife if I could start driving her car to work for a daily driver. I work 22 miles away from home and she works at home, so Since we already both know we do not intend on keeping her car forever she agreed :P
I just plan to drive the mustang on the weekends as a "playtoy" now.
I'll probably keep my 14' forever as I love the bodystyle and the mods you can do to them are ENDLESS.. don't think i'll ever finish modding mine till it's into the 9's with twins and a forged promod motor. Going to be a long long process but should be fun

I bought my 2012 to DD drive, but I only drive about 5k a year. I expect to keep until paid off. 48 month loan halfway there. After that who knows. So a 4year old 5.0 with 20k miles should be a good private sell If I go that route.

dunno..bought it cash... first real high performance car... i hate that the new mustangs are supposedly better hp/tq and gas mileage... but they do look like ass so :/

the car i really want i'll never own

93/94 RX-7 with an LSX engine N/A or turbo'd too...

its best to be a real mechanic if you're gonna have a car like that

I will keep this one until I die. Not sure if it will be paid off by then though.

Ya this kind of makes me thing maybe I should just take one more step and get a Shelby then that be my car I hang on to for a long long time. If I do its going to be a 11-12 GT500.

People that buy cars new, finance them, and they have them sit in a garage on purpose because they don't want to drive it is dumb to me. The resale on these cars is already horrible. Why not enjoy it?

Mine will be staying with me until it's either wrecked, or falls apart. Years from now it will be racecar status.

All of this. I've got 45k miles now and a 80k mile powertrain extended warranty. If things go right I can blow up the original engine and get a new one on the house before it's paid off.

I cant build a normal engine for that matter... but yes i know how a rotary works.

Hey man its cool, you're into novelty ideas. You and i like the same car minus the engine. Facts are those bitches are unreliable. Seals blow all the time, to many rpms on a poor design.

Im also a member of norotors.com and i've just seen swap after successful swap going into these cars and i think its just making the car better. the all aluminum lsx block is supposedly only 70lbs more than the rotary so no weight / handling is really lost there; its just more power and reliability.

but lets agree to disagree. Maybe its fun tearing down a rotary and rebuilding it around every 80k?
