Of the cars on offer I'll take the Mustang GT. I'll call up Jack Roush & see what he can do for the handling & brakes. For me the GT has enough pony's under-hood.
Mustang GT because I would rather have no car over a MOPAR and a 4 cyclinder Mustang is a SIN. V8 425 HP W/ 400 TQ right out of the box is good starting point. Only mod I would do is driving lessons at a track because everyone can improve their driving skills at any age. Dick I passed on the bike because you need it more than I do because my R53 still runs and runs and runs.
After dinner bump for stragglers... If you havent voted (or been specific with a vote) please do so. Not counting anything, but it appears BOTH of the Mustangs are at the top... I seem to remember somebody saying that anything other than a V8 in a "Muscle Car" wouldn't get any votes", well only one 4 cylinder in the group, and its got more votes than 2 of the big V8's! There will be a change in the game tonight (because of the lack of AWD cars in this price range) so 5 cars are going up and TWO will move into the finals! Yep, you will be voting to keep 2 cars of your choice in the next round... 2 Are new, and 3 from the first rounds...
And because you have a battery powered scooter... You know they have ones that burn dinosaurs too right?
I said that and a V8 is a true muscle car. I can't help it that people thing a 4 cyclinder with a turbo pushing the same weight would stand a chance. Still mustang GT V8 all day long.
Might be close in weight, but having the front end a little lighter makes it feel a lot less like a pair of greasy tires trying to push a boat anchor through a turn...
Times up! And the winner is... The Mustang GT with 7 votes! Followed by a tie between the 2.3 Mustang and the Camaro SS, both with 3 votes each. And the Challenger, it got nothing! I would have voted for the 5.0 Mustang GT too! Now, on to business... There arent many other cars I could see people wanting in both the AWD and Special categories, so I combined them. But, we had a tie in the first Special round, and both the FRS, and the JCW Coupe moved on. So here we have 5 cars, and you need 2 of them! First one up is: The Focus ST, with a base price of $25,347. Or: The WRX returns as the AWD champion for the first round, at $26,295. Or: The Scion FRS is back, costing $31.844 as optioned. Or: The returning JCW Coupe, special ordered with no options or accessories added, and a price of $33,250. Or lastly: A brand new 2 door Jeep Wrangler in Rubicon trim in all its true off road glory, for just $33,685 with the optional hard top. (You knew it was just a matter of time before I posted a Jeep again right?) There they are, pick two! And lets pass the game on to someone else next week.
Jeep- which was an easy pick actually.. Coupe- tough choice between it and the FRS ( might lose the coupe this week )
