2010 needs to hurry it's ass up

Hey, Im man enough to apologize if you didnt mean anything by that, but I took it as a major stab at the s197's...which again, there is no comparison. The 01 Cobra is pretty much neck and neck in the 0-60 and 1320; not bad for an 01, but it's a Cobra. It should be fast. Would I take an 01 Cobra? Hell yes. I just don't like to be poked and prodded. Again, apologies if that is not what you were getting at.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever sat in or driven a newer Stang? It honestly took me a long time to get into the '05+ the body style was just so different (same thing happened with the new edges) but the interior is just so much nicer. It's much more user friendly and the seats are so much more comfortable it's hard to believe. You can crank the seats down so low (which is good for me because I'm 6'4"), the cup holder are actually functional, IDK to me it is leaps and bouds ahead of the 94-04.. The ONLY thing I don't like about the 197's interior is the round vents in the middle, I realize that they are more functional than the rectangular vents, but they just look a little out of place, that's probably the best change from the '05-09 to the '10+.

Yes I've been in one, they are more comfortable, but I just can't look at one without thinking of how much sportier it could have been designed.. everything's just..square. I like my 90's designed plasticy curvy interior styling. I can live without creature comforts (honestly how usable the cup holders are is something that doesn't bother me as I don't allow open drinks in my car..just bottles, which can be put anywhere). I'm only 5'10 and am very comfortable in my stang.

Yeah..a couple of months ago it would have been the Mitsu logo, few months before that, the subaru logo, few months before that, the Built Ford Tough truck logo, few months before that, the ford oval.

yeah we all know fishy has auto-identity crisis issues.
Whatever car he's driving at the moment is the most badass car on the planet... ever notice that?

As far as the '05+ goes, I just honestly think they are all around better cars. Yeah, they're a little heavier, big whoop. Guess it's all personal opinion though.
#41
I have never compared the weight or overall length. It would be interesting to find out. Maybe I'll look it up later when I have more time. I know the wheelbase is longer which is what gives it the better ride. The only thing I am not crazy about on the 197's is the fender flairs. I think they could have done a better job molding them into the side a little better. Every body style has its pros and cons, and again, I love them all.

don't be mad you're not down with the toyo zig

No, man...were cool. LOL I just didn't see the "lol" at the bottom. I'll try to pay more attention from now on.

It doesn't happen often, but I agree with WNRacing. The 05+ stangs are better than the previous years when it comes to ride, engine ect.... But like everyone has said, it's personal preference.
A couple of years ago my wifes jeep was in the shop and they gave her a 5 speed 05 GT to drive. This is when I still had my Mach. I drove the HELL out of that GT and to be honest, the ride was a lot smoother than my Mach, but it wasn't really that close to being as fast as my Mach. Yeah it probably wasn't a very fair comparison since I was modded, but there after driving a 4v it seemed like the 3v signed off too fast.
Anyway, I still kick myself in the azz for getting rid of my Mach.
Oh by the way, that is not a lot of miles for an 01 Cobra.
