It looks like a base model, after discounts, that probably went for around that much brand new.

There are several NEW GT500s for sale in my area. One of them is a loving 2012. Might as well pay the market adjustment, since they won't depreciate.

I run Yokohama IceGuard IG20s on mine and was pretty much unstoppable last winter. That being said, I stripped out a lug stud putting my heavy-rear end summer tires back on. Are these pretty easy to replace or should I have a shop do it? I was quoted ~$65.

Yeah, factory-size Pirelli P-Zeros are $250/ea on tire rack. You'll need to step down to a performance all season to get something cheaper.

coolskillrex remix posted:Wait for a deal to pop up on slickdeals for Michelin pilot super sport 2s. They'll last you a while and are sticky as hell and also comfortable and low on road noise. There's a reason m cars and Porsche 911s use them pretty much exclusively. Slickdeals also has deals on ventus v12s for like 700 shipped and installed and those are pretty nice as well. These are the opposite of " I wouldn't know good handling if it bit me in the rear end" tires. Plus, they have the same treadwear rating as the PZero and are like $40/ea more. Great tires though.

IOwnCalculus posted:Yeah, getting a good deal on a base GT350 is just not gonna happen. My old man has hit up pretty much every Ford dealer in the area because that's exactly what he wants, and I think none of them even have a base GT350. This is what I'm looking for too, but yeah, not going to happen. I guess Ford would rather have you buy a heavily discounted, loaded GT than pay MSRP for a base GT350.

kimbo305 posted:For normal wheels, yeah, the narrower the better. For when an 18" wheel won't clear your caliper, all you can hope for is to get the right tread compound and pattern on your tobaggan of a tire. I think the whole narrow = better when it comes to snow tires is baloney. The logic is that the skinnier tire goes deeper into the snow, but that's just not correct. The 235s on my car car go just as deep in the snow as the 195s on my wife's car. Neither will touch pavement rolling over more than a few inches of fresh snow.

See, but my experience is those factors don't matter in the real world. It might compact the snow slightly more with a wider tires, but the tread on snow tires is really deep and the compound has a grabby texture to it, like it's made of little claws. So there's really good traction even on compacted snow.

PT6A posted:I'm biased, but I think the 2010-2011 (2012?) models were the best in that generation. I'm not a big fan of the rear-end refresh they did. The 2015+ models looks way better, though. Same here. The rear end looks even worse now that raxiom has "back-ported" those tail lights to the older generation models. I swear that every third S195 I see has those drat things, and they just look so awkward and out of place.

PT6A posted:Okay then, guess I'll be driving my 2011 until that comes out... I wasn't particularly tempted to upgrade anyway, and knowing (suspecting) something new is that close makes me even less tempted. It's probably going to be a face lift. I wouldn't expect an entirely new platform. Though, I'm still hoping for a 2.7 Ecoboost option.

There are lots of reasons to hate Jalopnik, like their wanna-be Jeremy Clarkson writer, but at least most of it is entertaining. Motor trend has a great online section, it's just lacking in content. Jalopnik has a pretty lively comment section and there's some good discussions on it. Buhbuhj posted:Mustang owners may possibly even be worse than Subaru drivers. Subaru drivers have taken to lifting their WRXes. That's where my line is; they've turned the WRX into the new donk, and that's just unforgivable.

Auron posted:Does anyone here daily drive their 2011-2014 GT's during the winter in the snow? I'm really curious how these cars perform with a good set of snow tires on. They are pretty awesome in the snow with snow tires. They are pretty lovely on dry days with snow tires. You won't get stuck in a blizzard and you can spin the tires at like 90mph when it's dry out. I have iceGuard2s on mine and it's pretty miserable to drive because there is so little traction in the dry that I can't even keep up with pickup trucks through the corners. I'd recommend all seasons if you don't get too much snow. oRenj9 fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Wait, I'm confused, you've heard that snow tires suck in the snow but are great on nice days? That would be the opposite of what I said. I'm not being snarky, it's possible I wasn't clear in my post. I'm running Yokohama IceGuards, which are the well regarded tires. They are excellent in the snow, without question. They will go zero to way too fast for blizzard conditions in like 10 seconds in 6" of snow and will stop again without any drama. The problem is on days when it's nice out. On those 40°, clear, and dry days, you want to drive your Mustang like a Mustang. And unfortunately, these things are awful in nice conditions. There's no traction past 5000 RPM in any gear and the car will understeer at 35mphs in corners I take casually at 55 on the factory P-Zeros. Snow tires are as much a compromise as all-seasons -- you trade dry performance for ice and snow performance. Since I live in Ohio and can work from home, I don't think it's a worthwhile trade-off. We get maybe 3-4 serious snow storms a year and the roads are almost always clear by the next day. So I'll probably replace my snow tires with a reasonable touring tire when the time comes. But if you absolutely have to travel in any weather, a Mustang on snow tires is quite capable.

I'm not sure I'd spring for the Recaros in a 2015+, since the factory seats feel pretty close to the same, just with slightly less aggressive bolstering.

vote_no posted:Maybe, but I think getting a different car is the more cost effective option. I mean, would you buy a V6 Mustang and add $15-20k worth of stuff to it, or would you just buy a GT? If you really would consider the V6 route, then I'm all ears. The stock GT handling isn't really any better than the V6. Maybe marginally better than the base V6 due to the slightly stiffer suspension, but it really isn't that noticeable. Tires will make the biggest difference, get some 255s all around. You should be able to find some GT takeoffs for cheap.
