New Car?

[Donny]

Kid, I loved and still do love the new Mustang GT 6 spd 5.0, drove it, loved it. The sound is kick-***! Good mileage too, close to 30 mpg highway if you feather it around. That new 5.0 looks like a technological tour d'force!

What's the headroom like in the new Stang? The last ones were a bit cramped.

Front was fine, backseat looked too small for anything but my backpack!

That car is hard to beat. styling and performance .... 400+hp 5.0 / 6spd for around 30K, yeah that car is bad *** !!

I bought a new truck about 9 months back and spent tons of time looking. I looked at trucks, sedans and the pony cars from the big three. I love my mopars and I think the challenger looks kick *** but if I would have been buying a two door I would have gone with a stang, the combined comfort, performance, styling, gas mileage and value put it on top. If you need a back seat at all the pony cars should be out, and the Challenger comes in last because the drivers sead does not even fold forward. If I were buying a big sedan it would be a 300M, by far the best of the breed. Turned out I bought an F150, I like the Hemi in the Rams but the fit and finish in the Ford was just much nicer than the dodge and the interiar materials are of a better quality. It also came in a super cab so I could have smaller back seat for when I really need it, keep my 6.5' bed and still park in the garage with room to spare.

Headroom in 05 and up mustang is night and day more than previous body style. I'm 6'3", with a long spine, and I fit with room to spare. my hair hits the roof in the Challenger, I haven't been in a camaro, but it looks like not much. My buddy had a 97ish stang, and I hit the roof so bad I had to recline the seat about 1/2 way, which made the driving position VERY uncomfortable.

On another note-For those who have never been in a Viper, there is marginally more room than a miata, but less room than a z3 or Crossfire. I couldn't own any of those.
