And dem00n: that looks like a pretty darn generic older small car to me (yes, I do know what it is, but that's not the point). |

honestly I'd be embarrassed to be seen in a mustang unless it was 60's. I want to like them but just can't. I can almost deal with a vette now but again american muscle just has the worst image in my mind.

:happy0180: Relevant to @PabloN there's a red Mustang 5.0 convertible in my area that is the most unique car I've seen for the past few months, beats the snot out of the cobra kit or extremely clean 4th gen celica or the dozens of Tesla's I've seen this week when it comes to visually interesting. Also in love with the Mercedes down the road from me: |

For another, despite a 5.0 liter V8 and not being particularly heavy (~3200 lb), a '90 Mustang GT is only about as quick, on a good day, as an FR-S/BRZ with a 2.0 liter I-4. |

until I sold my 4th one recently and got into a FRS.. Fun cars.. lacking the brute force of the LS3.. but more enjoyable overall to drive. Its nice being able to hold the go pedal down and wrap it out for more than 4 seconds.. also think its more nimble without the fat tires.. but I do miss that endless linear torque curve.. |

Personally, I find the rx-8 and miata pretty meh. The newer Mx5's aren't terrible looking, but the lines on the 86 make the car look so much sleeker. Also, I don't know if you can compare the looks of American muscle cars to a little Japanese sports car - apples to oranges. |

I was talking about how eye catching they were, yes apples to oranges in terms of styling but in terms of what you NOTICE on the road, the 86 blends in while all the cars I mentioned jump out at you.

That mustang jumps out at you as being anything other than an old hunk of junk? Really?
