Kinda wanted to go with the Ford but it is a ugly four door, sorta wanted to go with the Kia as it more pleasing to the eye but is a soulless four door, so I chose the MINI because it's a two door.
Pretty sad that the Mini Cooper is on the "if I have too" list instead of the "I got to have it" list. Boy how times have changed for Mini.
Last bump of the day for the stragglers before I tally the votes, and put up round 2 of the RWD's! They are much better this time.
Last call! I'm adding them up! The 2.3 TURBO 4 Cyl. Mustang returns, with 3 other RWD coupes (no V6's) in a couple hours.
The results of the last round of FWD's... KIA: Was K.I.A. with 0 The all mighty Veloster from the first round had 2. And surprisingly for as much carp as we give them the F56 wins it with 6 to the Fiesta's 4. So MINI moves on to the finals! Now its time to bring back the RWD's... The cars are actually all the same as last time, minus the Hyundai which I couldnt bring myself to give it the spot of the Mustang GT. So here they are, would you rather build or modify: The returning champion, 2.3L T Mustang EcoBoost, for $29,300. Or step that up to the Mustang GT with the 5.0L Coyote V8 for a couple thousand more at $32,300. Not much room for options packages... Perfect to build! Or the Camaro SS which starts at $33,505, so it will be... Well still heavy, just not because of all the gizmos. Or the Challenger R/T, for $34,495 with a whole $500 left over to buy floor mats because they came in an options pack that was outside your price range. And The title cleared on Dave's old bike, so its open for new riders...
I'd have to go for the Camaro SS. It's too big and heavy, but the Z-28 proves that it can be made to handle well. I've got a buddy with a Challenger SRT-8, so I've driven it. It's plenty fast, but it's handling is not that great. I've had a Ford once. Once was enough...
GT for me... Be nice to mod up the Turbo 4 Mustang but will take some doing to pick up alittle over 125 HP to reach what the GT has to start with. If I was actually buying, I'd probably get the Turbo 4 to save on the monthly payment as you won't find a base GT on the lot so your probably looking at $36,000 min.. Where as you might find some Turbo 4's at "closer" to base price..
Turbo Mustang. The handling is better than the GT with better weight balance. Heck Ford's tuner chip will probably put it past the GT base. Then tune from there. I remember tuned SVOs stomping GTs and that was a Pinto motor.
All good cars. I have to go with the Mustang. I did not like the way the 4 cylinder sounded but it would be a more balanced car. If I were in to drag racing I would go for the GT.
