    Don't hate me....I've ordered a Mustang.

    Well I have been looking at them for a while and the wait for them is now out to the end of 2016 so I bit the bullet today. I haven't owned a Ford for 25 years and my head is still trying to cope BUT.....I simply like them. I've always wanted a blower and just feel a blown mustang has a nice ring to it and it still comes in 20k less than a GTS. I've ordered a magnetic (colour) auto with black factory stripes...don't hate peopl,e please don't hate lol. I've placed a holding deposit (fully refundable) if Holden or any other manufacturer release something for 65k drive away that I like more .


    Basically how it will look.

    Factory blown mustang? Didnt think they were bringing those in, or are you planning on putting a kit on.

    Congrats too, think it will be a great thing for Australian car lovers

    No not factory bud......I wish. In US of A they are making 600-650rwhp no mods (stock exhaust and headers) with a decent blower. Of what I've read the 5.0L is near on bulletproof.

    Can't blame you. They do look good and Holden as yet have not enticed us with anything.

    Congrats. I went to the launch last week and they look good. They said three to 18 months wait.
    Shame no good for taller drivers but I'm above average though

    I'm ok with the wait, I wasn't ready for a new car until end of next year so all great. My neighbour gets his in October so looking foward to sitting in his and making sure it suits.

    I don't blame you either mate. Have toyed with the idea of one as well but i'm holding out until they're on the streets and will see what Holden have to offer. Like you say, will be hard to match for pricing.

    Will you be going with a Roush kit or another avenue?

    Well it certainly looks the goods.

    But no room for the bikes in the back so I am out! Holden/HSV have me by the balls!

    Sounds like good value although I am not the type of person to make a deposit on a car before driving it.

    I'm definitely hoping my neighbour lets me drive his end of this year.....I'm sure I'll like it though.

    Re: Don't hate me....I've ordered a Mustang.

    When my 3 years are up with the Cascada in May 2018 I will probably be looking in this direction of a convertible V8 Mustang if Holden don't bring the Camaro convertible to Australia. Hopefully by 2018 the waiting list will be under control and the Mustang might have copped a few upgrades, like a fully automatic roof (current version requires to be manually unlatched) as per the 2016 Camaro.

    Cheers, Matthew

    Seeing a lot of very nice late model Mustangs, Camaro's and Dodges getting around my current location, and I must admit the Mustang has got them for looks imho.
