Well I will be going on a road trip very soon (around 1000mi), and instead of renting I have been thinking of just taking my mustang. Now I just had a SC put in along with a new trans (have around 900mi on both) . Should I still go on this trip with my mustang or should I rent a car for around $260 or so? I really don't want to rent, but I don't want to wreck anything by going on a long trip like that.

I will be getting a fresh oil change before I go along with possibly a retune for 91 octane (instead of 93).

Please let me know what everyone thinks - thank you!

rent something that is good on gas.

I have to drive rental cars for work trips all the time. They suck. They're not your car. No one takes care of them. Most of them smell bad. You don't have your "stuff" in them.

I'm for taking YOUR ride. You'll always have a piece of home with you. You'll see the scenes from your own windshield. Hear your exhaust.

Cars should be driven and enjoyed.

I still say this even though I nailed deer last year with my own car on a trip X(

depends on where the road trip is to. Road trip out through the country or in the mountains? Take the Mustang. Road trip to Cleveland to visit the in-laws? Rental car all the way.

Well the trip is to Maine, which is only around 300 miles, however the last time we were there we went a few places - thats why I put down around 1000mi. We are visiting a few of my wife's friends, and going a few place.

I would take the Mustang any place other than in snow or off road, when a 4x4 would be the way to go. Also, I wouldn't take the Mustang if it didn't have enough room for passengers or luggage.

What's the point of having a car as fun as this if you're not going to roadtrip in it?

Stang all the way.

To me it is comfort level. If my car was not to loud and the suspension plush sure I would take it. If I was confident it wasnt going to take a crap yeah I would take it.

Is it going to be fun for you if not then get a rental.
