akirby Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I hit a growth spurt last week. Needed to drop the mattress height so that I don't fall over the rail.

papilgee4evaeva Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Too many Varsity chili dogs, onion rings and FOs? (guess what I had for lunch..... ) Never! I ate my vegetables like a good boy! Side note: I've been here for 4 years and haven't stopped at Varsity yet. I need to fix that soon. lol, me, I dont eat junk food often at all, but when I do its GO time,...today 3 Filet Of Fish with a medium frie....wonder why I feel like crap right now?.

coupe3w Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 And let me remind everyone of 2 things: GT350, GT500 I haven't heard anything about a GT500. Is there going to be one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be at least one other special edition, based on camo'ed testers at the Ring. One had a flat-plane crank, the other didn't.

RichardJensen Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 There have also been rumors of a 3.5L EB model, in addition to the two V8s heard in Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I doubt that very much. I can't think of the last time a performance Mustang came with your choice of engine. Certainly not a pair of engines as divergent as a NA cross-plane V8 (couldn't hear a supercharger whine) and a flat-plane variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Side note: I've been here for 4 years and haven't stopped at Varsity yet. I need to fix that soon. I worked out by the mall so the Varsity was on the way between school and work every day at lunch time. My car would just automatically stop there whether I wanted to or not. Seriously - you have to go at least once. Chili dogs are legendary but the chili steaks are one of a kind (hamburger with hot dog chili). Best onion rings on the planet and the FO (frosted orange milkshake) is fantastic too. I would say it tastes like baby aspirin but you're too young to remember those. Just make sure you know what you want before you get within sight of the counter, and order using the right lingo (it's not a plain hot dog to go, it's "walk me a naked dog").

I already know what I'm gonna get whenever I go. Two red dogs. Hey, since you're out toward Atlanta, you've probably gone to the original store in Midtown. I presume, anyway.

Hey, since you're out toward Atlanta, you've probably gone to the original store in Midtown. I presume, anyway. Many many times. But I work in Alpharetta and they built one about 7 minutes away so now I go whenever I want. It's quite a spectacle when there is a game at GA Tech and people are lined up 20 deep at 15 registers.

Hugh Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) http://www.autoblog.com/2014/09/19/2015-ford-mustang-gt-first-drive-review-video/ Best quote: "We could say so much more, but this is what you need to know: it's not a new chapter in Mustang history, it's a new book, and you don't need to spend GT500 money or throw a bunch of upgrades at it to get a 'Stang that handles like a proper performance car." http://jalopnik.com/we-drove-the-2015-ford-mustang-its-still-best-with-a-v-1636142850 That kind of breadth makes the Mustang the muscle car – and yes, occasional sports car – of the people. It's a food court on wheels, with a flavor for everyone, set to grow even further as the hotter variants arrive and it heads to Europe. With that democratization of style and substance, Ford manages (again) to make the Mustang all things to all people, without bastardizing the most important nameplate in its stable.

silvrsvt Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2015-ford-mustang-ecoboost-automatic-test-review Thus, the Mustang EcoBoost isn’t as much about efficiency as it is about refinement and technology (and, we guess, the potential for efficiency if you drive cautiously). That makes it somewhat un-Mustang-like. It certainly doesn’t sound like a Mustang, and it is far more reserved and civilized than any Mustang you’ve driven in your life. It’s more like an American Audi A5 than a pony car. Alas, if only it were lighter. There’s no doubt, though, that a certain Audi-ness was what Ford—who will sell this car in Europe and around the world—was going for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanatWork Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 If the Mustang sold for A5 money, they could afford exotic materials to cut more weight. As it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see more aluminium and what-not involved as this 'Stang generation continues.The GT-350R might "add lightness' to the horsepower equation, and terrify a Z28 or three in the process.

ZanatWork Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I just did a comparison:according to Car and Driver, the previous Mustang GT did 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, and the quarter mile in 13.2......whereas C/D tested the 2015 Mustang GT at 4.5 seconds and 13.0, respectively......so yes, despite the added heft, it actually got a bit quicker, as proven by tests done by the same publication.

But what about testing area (altitude), track condition, etc, etc....IMO its not worth getting your panties into a bunch over .02 a second difference, because of all the different variables that come into effect. Unless someone brings a 2014 GT off the lot and compares it with the 2015 given to the press at the same track with the same driver(s), you'll never get a straight fair answer.

RichardJensen Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What was interesting was the comparisons made by the Autoblog people who drove 2014 Mustangs to the sponsored test of the 2015s. If you want a sense of what improvements have been made, that's probably your best indicator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grbeck Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The British tend not to be too keen on American cars, so a 3-star rating out of five possible stars is a good endorsement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't discount personal preference...I wasn't impressed at all with the Lincoln MKT interior...yet its one of the most raved about interiors in a luxury car by magazines.
