HP vs. Looks

RE: HP vs. Looks
You really can't call 300 hp RAW hp in a car like this in this day and age. But it was the cheapest 300hp stock new car I could think of and its just a good deal all around. Fast, easily upgradeable, good looks, comfortable, and just plain bad ***. Yeah the S197 will be down on power compared to the new Camaro and challenger, but it won't cost me 40k like the big "hemi" challenger and it will look a thousand times better than the new camaro( I like there interior though).

I think what my favorite part will be when the new camaros and challengers come out thinking they're going to smoke all these mustangs. But, by the time they do that I hope to have a blower involved in the matter. It should make a lot of camaro/challenger guys a little unhappy. I won't take anything from em though. If they can get a 400hp camaro for the same price....it's gonna be real tough on the mustang. Although if you have to spend $40k for the challenger, you're gonna look silly when a guy spending 30-35k on a mustang with a blower throttles you.

RE: HP vs. Looks
I bought mine for both the looks and power factor. If looks and/or power alone were the only criteria, as some here have eluded, then I/they would have bought a V6 and not a GT. I like my vert which is a bit more expensive and not made for the track but it does draw a lot of attention. I had a wicked fast bike but once I got this car I enjoyed riding around with the top down better. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't have someone say, "nice car" or the like. Just a few hours ago I just filled her up with gas when a guy and his girlfriend pulled up on the other side of the pump. They were headed inside the store when the chick said, "I love your car. It's beautiful." I can imagine what the boyfriend was thinking to himself LOL. If only I were single goes through my mind over and over again LMAO.

Well maybe it is because I am young, and i use to think (im use to it now) That the new mustang was insane-ly fast....Because I went from a grand am SE 4 door 3.4 L v6 auto with 170 HP...to a 5 speed 300HP v8. SO i thought the majority of people thought the same, guess i was wrong. But thats what i voted for and thats what i love about it!!
