Just bought a 2001 GT, figured it was time for a fun car after owning a 93 Grand Am, a 98 Dakota, and an 04 Civic. The interior is pretty crappy but I just love the V8 sound.

Imperador do Brasil posted:I'm considering getting an axle-back exhaust for the Shelby, purely for sound, and my top choices are SLP Loud Mouth and Magnaflow Competition Series. Pros/cons for each? My friend Matt has the SLP on his WS6 Trans Am, and I've heard the Magnaflow on their own website, and I like both. The SLP is like $200 cheaper, but is the quality $200 worse? Although I've never heard one on a Shelby, the SLP seems like it would be easy to get sick of.

CharlesM posted:Maybe it's stupid but I honestly love the sound of a V8 vs a turbo V6... This is what it is for me too honestly. When I was car shopping my contenders were a Mustang GT and a Genesis Coupe. There were a lot of things I preferred about the Genesis Coupe but I couldn't stop thinking about how the Mustang sounded and bought it a few days later. To this day there are few cars whose engine notes I prefer to mine.

vote_no posted:I know this is one of my two repeated contributions to this thread, but... I drive a '98 GT all year 'round in Minnesota with all-seasons and it's been no trouble at all. I drove up from small town Iowa last May during that snowstorm that dropped a foot without issue, but I would be worried about trying to take an unplowed hill with more than 6" on the ground. If I lived where there weren't plows, and were hills, I would probably not drive the Mustang in 6" or more. I drive an 01 GT through Minneapols and echo this. In 4 winters I've only slid off the road once and it was in conditions so lovely it would have happened in almost any car.

Folderol posted:Can anyone from a snow belt region chime in on whether RWD is doable? The new Mustang is one of a few cars I'm looking at, but it's been ages since I've driven a RWD, and driving in winter around here can be a white knuckle experience under the best of circumstances. It depends on your commute. I drove a Mustang for 4 years in Minneapolis and when I drove 8 miles down a major road it was totally fine as long as you're careful. Once my commute involved back roads and driving up a small hill I felt like I was taking my life into my hands and traded it for an F-150.
