I have lived in both places for too long and I get why there are people who love 500 and who love muscle cars.
No, I probably don't get it, what about living in a different car makes that little weird car desirable? lol
Is it parking spaces? it is a cool "club" ?

Let me answer your question with another question: what did make 2005-2010 Mustang so desirable? It couldn't take corners, it used prehistoric suspension, interior was cheap, engines were really outdated, it got poor gas mileage ... yet it was probably the coolest car that came out in the 2000s.

IMO the 05-10 stang sucked with the exception of a few special edition models (Shelby, bullitt, saleen). No offense people. Very plain and boring body styling for a mustang.

Nah man. The SN197 body was never appealing to me. Not the mustang I fell in love with many years ago. Just my opinions though.

Cool opinions...

Here is a fact: I get great gas mileage for a 4.6 v8 (26-28mpg), opinion: I can take corners pretty **** good, opinion: my interior is just fine, no creaks, cracks, funny noises etc...

Mini car that looks like a beetle with it's hood smashed and is slow (fact)

You really think that car has anything over this kind of car...???REALLY!?



lmao! really!?

Nope, never said it did.

What I was trying to say is that spec on the paper do not determine car's "it factor".

I used to have a 2008 Mustang GT Premium from 2008-2010 so I know exactly what's like.
