My car is exceptionally clean. I just am over the whole mustang thing. Sure I like special mustangs like GT500's, and termi's, but A GT doesn't really do it for me. My car is worth like a whole 7 grand.

Exactly. The price you're going to pay for a GT500 is not far off from a used BMW 1-series or 3-series.

Why not get something that isn't so cliche like the BMW. If I see someone in a BMW I think it is either a woman who is bitchier than hell, or a total douche who thinks his BMW makes him look just as rich as his $200 designer jeans.

A mustang seems like someone who is real down to earth, a guy who's not going to bend over and let the rich business CEOs **** him in the ***. (Not towards you, but other people)

Idk, I like M3s and 135s as well but not when you start looking at price tags.

I've seen new gt500s go for slightly below 40k around here. Hell, even stage 3 Roushs go for about 32-37k now. Either way seems much better than a stinking ole BMW any other douche can go and buy.

Want to look business? Get a Lotus Exige lol. Business with a little bad ***. Nothing says business like an all aluminum interior, roll cage, and a supercharger.

After seeing the Speed test drive last night with the new Lincoln MKS Ecoboost V6, I'll take one of those in Blue please. After all of the testing, this is how it ranked! BTW It also had the highest top speed by 2 MPH on the course. The BMW was @ 107 and the Lincoln was over 109.

1) BMW 550
2) Lincoln MKS
3) Mercedes E550
4) Jaguar XF
5) Maserati Quatroporte

The MKS is gonna move the **** out if the SHO is already in the high 12's with just a tune. Isn't the MKS lighter?

I believe most of the yuppies driving bimmers do so cause they know nothing about cars. They think of it's a BMW so it's the greatest thing on earth. If you roll into a business meeting, why the hell would everyone be outside watching to see what car you pull up in? Like Spike said, I would much rather pull up with my loud *** exhaust and supercharger whining. I see a BMW and just shrug my shoulders cause it's nothing new to me.

Your choice though, but don't get a car just cause you think it's going to change your status or something. Hell my father-in-law is the VP of sales for his company, making 200k or better and he drives a 35K lexus. Nothing special there.

Umm, Actually I think the SHO and the MKS are pretty similar. Cars.com says that the MKS is just slightly heavier by like 50lbs or so, they also rate the SHO as having an extra 10HP over the MKS, but I don't know how accurate that is.

Truthfully I would take a SHO over the MKS all day, but Steeda's looking for a "luxury" car so I figured that the MKS would fit that bill a little better than the SHO.

From what I see the SHO is more then 150 pounds heavier then the MKS. So with a tune it should move out pretty good. But I don't think you can get the more aggressive gearing (3.17 to 2.77) gears in the MKS. That's one thing that helps the SHO move out quicker.

some clown tried to show off in his MKS while i was cruising in my mustang on a on-ramp to the highway. he tried to pass me on the right, what an idiot. i waited till i could see the amazing chicks in the backseat before i blew rocks all over his car. i felt bad but **** a douche bag passing me on the right.

Whats wrong with passing on the right? I do it all the time when someone is going slow in the left lane.

not on a on-ramp...this guy was trying to over take me and fit in between me and another car in front of me befor the MKS drivers lane merged. the *** clown was behind me and he sped up just to squeeze in. so i drove defensively/aggressive to not let the guy in.

I'm conditioned to not pass people on the right thanks to germany. i got cited for passing cars on the right because it is illegal over there. some of those habits are still with me even over here where retards drive 65 in the far lleft lane...


back on topic. stay away from european cars becuase repair and maintainance cost too much.

overtaking on the right is different and that is what happened to me.

I should also note that if you do want to have something that keeps the "business-clean" look, but with some power.

Audi RS6 hands down. 4-door coupe, twin-turbo V8, and almost 450hp.

Talk about potential.

Yeah, but I think that's a bit more costly. Never the less, a sweet car though.

Rare to come by from what I hear also. This one from my last track day was probably my first choice as a daily driver. Such a sweet car.

Actaully, they're just as much as a base GT with only around 30-40k miles.

The VW Dealership here has an 03-04 with 37k for 31k I think.

That's a ******* deal. As long as it's been owned by someone who had it serviced right often.

You're talking about one of the most overpriced companies out there IMO. (BMW that is)
