I like

It is, they got a nice shot of the roof. Looks good in that color/stripe combo, similar to your brother's GT500.

Discussed it with the wife last night, of course I would need a new garage to fit both cars.
so cost of cars and garage would be worth more than my house LOL
Seems about right to me

Q1 sales results are in for all 3 pony cars and here’s how the Mustang fared against the Challenger and Camaro.

Camaro 12,083 (+2.5%)

Mustang takes top spot among the 3 for sales, with ease. but loses to 4 door challenger.
Mustang Takes 2019 Muscle Car Sales Crown

The Challenger is a 2 door and the Charger a 4 door. A 4 door Charger with a Hemi is still better than the 4 cylinder Dodge Charger of the 80s and 90s. My friend Ma c that has the White 73 Mach1 had the “privilege” of owning one of those Turbo 4 cylinder Chargers back in the 80s and he said it was the worst piece of crap he had ever owned.

Yea, that was some fine work then with the Shadow and LeBaron falling in the same era. Shame these were the models Shelby had to work with. Maybe the Dakota was the best of the worst!

The Dakota with the 360 4 barrel was the closest thing to an old school Muscle Car back then. V8, rear wheel drive, lots of torque, light rear end equals tire smoke ?

If I wasn't driving a Mustang, I'd take the Hellcat, or even a regular Challenger over anything GM has.

Heck, I'd even drive a Hellcat Charger, despite the four doors. lol

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Hellcat Charger without the Flashy Optional Graphics would be the Perfect Sleeper.

I have a thing for corners, so pure HP is cool but without handling it is really not my thing.
I almost bought a Jaguar several years back

To be honest not sure what I would buy.

 

[pei_guy]

If its corners, a sharp Lotus Elise would dig in around the track. Drove one a few years back. 6" shorter and 100lbs lighter, and you never know!

Considering the state of the world Mustang has definitely held their own.

the auto makers are all taking a huge hit that is for sure. Then what do they do moving forward? Demand For new cars will be lower for years to come I would suspect.
