New 2010 GT500! I want one

.

Not my idea of something to bring back... :biglaugh:

 

[x10secondzx2]

You still don't get it. The MSRP doesn't determine how fast a car is going to be. Your argument is flawed.

What do I not get? Please explain.
If YOU don't take the price on a car in consideration of how bad ass it is that is your problem.
If that's the case. Fuck every single car out there except the Shelby Super Car Ultimate Aero. Fuck the Enzo, fuck the Veyron, fuck the ZR1, the Zonda, the SLR, fuck the Koenigsegg CCXR, CCXR Edition, and every other car in the world. Because right now nothing can keep up with that.......
Please tell me which cars are out there for $50k(new) that does what the GT500 does? The list isn't that long.
What make the base Vette, the Z06, and the ZR1 such bad ass cars? Its what you get for the money.

Ford is not trying to make the Mustang a balls-to-the-wall speed machine, they're trying to make it a good-looking, fast, fun car that's easily accessible to pretty much everyone. And they've succeeded.

Correct.

I dont think there is anything wrong with the car, its just that some members on this forum are completely against Hondas and Mustangs since they drive a Supra. Im not a fan of Mustangs myself and would never be able to afford a $50,000 car, but I do like what Ford is trying to do to compete with today's market.

I mean think about it, Ford was the company who brought back the old school muscle car look....and they seem to have succeeded since Dodge and Chevy are beginning to follow suit.

The main problem with having a Non Supra thread is that a lot of members believe that the MKIII Supra is the fastest auto out there, because mainly its the only sports car they've driven besides a stock Mustang GT or anything else in that class. The fact is that while I love the MKIII Supra more than any other car out there, I know that my Supra will never be able to compete with any of the ZR1 Vettes or Enzos or any others in that class that I see mentioned above. And that is fine by me.

You hit the nail on the head. People are sooo biased against certain cars that they will never like it.
Ford could come out with a Mustang with IRS, 984RWHP, weigh 2100lbs wet with driver and run the 1/4 in 9.6 from the factory and they would hate it.

 

[CTsupra]

Mustangs are gay :eek3:

congrats, making worse and worse arguments as we go along.

Bias runs both ways....

This is true. But I don't love Mustangs. I love sweet cars, no matter what it is or who makes it. Plus I own a Camaro, I am supposed to hate Mustangs right? lol

Not if you have more than half a brain

I like cars.

 

[Bomberillo]

I hate ford and this new mustang looks like shit. Id rather buy an older beat up camaro than be caught driving a ford mustang.

 

[7Mboost]

IRS was only on the Cobras (03-06?) It's a shame too because they handled well for the weight (a little lighter than a mk3)
I like these 500's but they are even heavier, not like the old 5.0's that were fairly light. I think even the current GT's aren't too heavy but these are. They've got ridiculous power though.

How much do they weigh, my friend said he scaled his at 3900, not sure if that was with him in it (~175lbs) or how much gas.

99-04 Cobras had IRS The current GTs are doing quite well in the Koni Challenge with their solid axles too, last year the stangs mostly placed in the top places (beating 911s and M3s lol)

The new GT500 is heavy, but look at its competitors weights... the Camaro and Challenger are even huger!

The Camaro and Challenger aren't going to be doing any sort of road racing where you should measure a car's ability. I'd say its competition is the Corvette obviously and that means it should be up to par with the new GT-R, ACR Viper, GT3 etc. If Ford is going to get serious in competing in anything other than drag racing, they need to please get a fucking IRS for one and drop some fucking weight two.

 

[Poodles]

Yes, but the Camaro is actually putting out respectable times around the 'ring, and it comes with more power in most cases.

The Challenger looks cool, has IRS, but has been reviewed as being numb in the handling department. Oh, and they don't come with a standard transmission.

I don't hate Mustangs, in fact, I'd rock the hell out of an older Cobra like this:

 

[CTsupra]

congrats, making worse and worse arguments as we go along.

What the hell is your problem? Do you follow me around the forum just to talk shit? This isn't the first time you have stuck your nose where it doesn't belong just to say something stupid. Would you like my address so you can come talk to me personally? I'll gladly give it to you.

By the way, how about you explain your comment to everyone in here. My last comment in this thread was a ploy at getting under the skin of a obvious Ford lover. Wait, why am I explaining myself to someone who apparently can't think for them self. How about you just go sit in the corner for the rest of your time on this forum and be quiet.

You'd compare a base trim corvette to a GT-R, ACR Viper or a GT3?
The Cobra was not built to take on the Corvette, rather SS Camaro's and the such. The fact that there was no Camaro or the like when the new GT500 came out doesn't really change any of that...

There's good reason the Mustang has been around for so long, its a recipe that works. Is it perfect? Far from it. But if it's an awesome car for the price, who cares?
The Mustang is shit thought train is the same one that labels the Miata as a gay hairdresser's convertible and your (and mine) beloved mkIII Supra's as 80's shitboxes. To each their own I guess.

 

[Nick M]

Does it still run 13's? I bet it weighs 4,000lbs and it still will have nothing on just a z06, forget the zr1.

The Cobra hasn't run 13's stock since 2001, and that was just people that can't drive.

And why do you think a muscle car is supposed to have something on a track car, like the Z06? Why are such idiotic people drawn to the automotive world?

Terminator with a chimp behind the wheel could run 12.7-12.8. Motor Trend or other imbeciles maybe a low 13 at 110. Funny that a Supra owner would say something like that. And not in a good way.

- Ugly ass color (the blue)

Yes, quite ghey.

- Supposedly they changed the tranny ratios in 5th and 6th to lower revs at those speeds...but wait, they changed the rearend ratio as well which will eliminate that...

I know you are smarter than that. Do I need to show you basic mulitplication to get overall ratio?

Put .63 x 3.31, then put .5 x 3.55 and see what you get. 2.0853:1 on the old model. 1.775 on the new one.


Great car, but it got kind of ugly. The previous one looks much better. I am not in the market for it anyway.

Maybe it's just locally, but around here the GT500's have at least $20,000 dealer mark up. That's just WAY to much money for these cars, in my opinion.

And the liberal education establishment strikes again! Obama 2012!

Stuff has been said Vagina's have gotten sand in them time for everyone to take a step back and knock the personal shit off...

Dude, enough.. Keep on dishing out the insults you mature person, you. I've seen your posts for the past two days and all they are is digging up an old quote along with some type of bashing. Like I told the other one - why don't you sit in the corner and be quiet.

Now we're mixing cars with politics.. damn you people.

Edit: By the way.. I don't own a supra

 

[zambini]

ok, when i first saw the new mustang design i thought it looked terrible..

but i was up in detroit last week and i saw a gt500 parked on the street. it was blacked out with no stripes on the gunmetal version of those double 5 spoke wheels... those cars are ORGASMIC!!! they have that same super fucking badass stance/aura that the 03-04 cobras have when you see them in person. holy shit. i cannot WAIT to see them lowered/modded.. there would be absolutely NO reason to EVER replace the wheels. they look like AC Schnitzer bmw rims. soooo sick.

needless to say im super pumped about this generation cobra!

 

[Nick M]

You are the one that said "it costs too much". That is a political statement. And an uneducated one at that. Whatever you do, don't be objective about anything. Especially not a car.

CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU are the very first person to be awarded a spot on my ignore list during my lengthy career on these supra forums!

Oh, and your post is going to be reported. I'm quite fucking tired of you insulting my intelligence. If you choose to go back and actually read what I wrote, you would find that it is you who is the uneducated one.
