You don't understand that this section of the forum is to discuss frs/brz vs other cars. And that's obviously happening here. So you're basically saying we're stupid. Then you assume since we're mustang fans that we have never been on a race track. I own a SN95 Mustang, F150 4x4 offroad, and a FR-S. I owned a 2008 STi before the FR-S. I tracked it several times. I'm getting useful information here that's helping me decide if I want to trade my stang for a new one. 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are useful information to me and others. You're just telling us things we already know, and being a asshole about it. Congrats... |

I'm entitled to my opinion about whether comparing a Mustang to an 86 makes any real sense. We disagree, so what, who cares. Based on what you said, you want a 2015 versus 2014 Mustang thread, not an 86 versus Mustang thread. If looking for info on a trade on Mustangs, I fail to see the relevance of your quoting my original post with your response other than to be a troll yourself. So what exactly do you need to know to help you make this Mustang decision? Let us help you out man. |

My first response was simply to say that it's not the whole discussion. And if you go back a page you would see we covered track speed stock vs stock. And the mustangs faster stock, since your post gave the impression that's all that is allowed on your forum.
I'm comparing my frs to the new mustang. Just wanted to know if it's a good enough to replace the sn95 and build a easy drag/street car that's a better street car. Or just continue putting money into the frs to satisfy my hp needs. I'm not sensitive and have zero emotions attached to my internet posting lol. Just dissapointed that every other week it seems some newb is telling me I can't drive and don't know anything about the 86 platform. |

I'm not sure, but some things you claimed might be a bit inaccurate. The kit is $4,700, not $2,500. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/Ma...Boxes-C68.aspx 3rd best slalom and skidpad of all time (72.5mph/ 0.97g) in 1998. The world has moved well beyond those numbers. The 86 does 70.3/1.0g with just a tire swap. It shouldn't be difficult to apply what's leftover of $4700 from new tires to the suspension and get past 72.5mph. http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/t...rack-test.html We've already seen the 86 chassis is capable of putting up numbers for handling to rival a 458 or Viper ACR in just that test. I doubt the Maximum Foxbody Stang plays at that level based on the numbers from those tests. The kit looks like a great deal for a cheap car to chuck around and be fast on the track without worry of wrecking your car and wallet, but it still doesn't seem equivalent in performance capability at the edge of the envelope to me when we talk about what a car can do. |

For $$/power and performance ratios, domestics just can't be beat which I think you know. I presume you have issues giving up the FRS largely because you do like how it feels to drive to you so that complicates the equation. Just being presumptuous of course. When it comes to numbers and $$, I think it's pretty straight forward. Emotions, feelings and connection to a car are beyond simple math. I don't envy the decision you are trying to make. If Ford kept to their promise and dropped 400lbs from the last one like they said, I would have been in the same boat. They made that choice for me, so not my call. No worries, I certainly wasn't telling you what to drive and made an assumption based on what was being attributed to the video for the same tired reasons you mentioned. Goes both ways it seems. Hope you end up making the decision best for you. |

Late to the party here but I finally test drove a 15 Mustang GT. FYI I used to own a 2011 5.0 and really loved it. BUT, after owning the FR-S for two years, I gotta say I don't want a Mustang after the test drive.
It's just such a cocoon. Great power, and that same smooth torque band that you have to love, but not anywhere near the feedback and handling that I've been spoiled on with the FR-S! A real eye opener, I did not expect to NOT want one! |
