ice-capades Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Ford Mustang is the world's best-selling 'sports car' again. Pony car is best-selling coupe for six years straight. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/ford-mustang-is-the-worlds-best-selling-sports-car-again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 While there are things I like about the Challenger, it is easy to see why the Mustang is number 1 in sales. The current S550 does many things very well and has few shortcomings. It can be configured in many ways, has a long options and accessory list and has fantastic aftermarket support. Of all the cars I have owned, my 2018 GT may be the one of which I am most proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear that Camaro and Challenger are typical muscle cars while Mustang is a much better sports car and designed to compete with sports cars from Europe. And it competes well.

Since the last mid-cycle update for the 2018MY Mustang, the Mustang is an incredibly refined vehicle that covers all the bases for customers wanting a Mustang... price, performance, features, aftermarket upfit options, etc. Ford's done a great job with it's attention to the Mustang and it's sales performance worldwide is a testament to its heritage. The global expansion has also given Ford the opportunity to produce and sell more Mustang's but at a more profitable price considering the much higher prices for the export vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) When I got the 2018 with all of the convenience options, I seriously considered selling my Continental. I found the Mustang to be very comfortable, refined, surprisingly free of road and wind noise and quite capable of being a good daily driver/road trip car for 2 people. My wife didn't like the idea so we kept the Conti. I then started making a few mods to the Mustang: Upgraded axles, upgraded rear suspension, stickier tires, and tune. Finally, last year, I added a Roush/Ford Performance supercharger. The end result is a car that still has all of the original benefits but has acceleration competitive with stock Hellcats, ZL1s, and GT500s......for less money than any of those would have cost.

brucelinc Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Although we may have electric performance vehicles in our future, I would hate to give up on this glorious sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
