My new Mustang

So, I traded in my '06 GT eight months ago for a '10 Challenger Rt. The challenger was a nice car, and had many up-sides, but I couldn't "fall in love" with the car like I had with my Mustang. So after much debate, I traded in the Chally for a '14 GT premium, and man does it feel good. I felt out of place in the challenger, and it didn't thrill me the way my mustang had. Getting into the drivers seat of the mustang today just felt right. In a weird way, I feel like I'm "back in the fight" if that makes any sense to anyone. I'm pleased with the 5.0, the suspension, and the interior. After driving the Challenger, I was expecting to have my back broken by the '14, but I didn't. The ride is actually pretty comfortable, leaps and bounds over the ride quality of my '06. In fact, everything about this car just generally seems better than my '06. I'm impressed. First thing I did was tints. Next step: wheels/tires from AM. Thanks for reading guys!

Welcome back! Honestly between the three Retro Pony/Muscle cars right now, the Mustang and Camaro are far better than the Challenger, and even then the only decent Chally is the SRT-8

Had my new Black '14 GT for 10 days now, great car, tons better performance than even a SRT8 Challenger.

Now, while I think the Mustang looks really great, the Challenger is just down right art on wheels. Would be a world beater if it was about 500-600 pounds lighter.

Anyway, congrats on the new ride!

Thank you! And yeah, the Challenger was a very practical ponycar: comfortable, roomy, huge trunk. Looks are sharp, and attention-grabbing for sure, but to compete with the others, it needed alot more $$$ than I was willing to invest in it. Plus, the interior put me to sleep, and that's not conducive to driving! :P

Thank you, I'm sure I will! It's nice to have plenty of aftermarket support again, and of course it's nice to get back into the Mustang community!

Thanks, and congrats to you also! I'm with ya 100% on the challenger. You can get some decent POWER out if those hemis, but making FAST gets veeeerrry expensive. They're just too big. As for the performance of this GT...I broke the wheels loose without even trying on the test drive...It's gonna be a fun summer. Hahaha.

Atta boy! Welcome back and congrats on your new ride! Great looking car. I agree 1000% on window tint. I had the dealer install 20% as part of my sale negotiations. I live in SC where they are pretty relaxed about window tint.

6MT ? Put an MGW shifter on the mod list, with some hood struts and GT500 mufflers.

Thanks! Here in Jersey, it's hit or miss whether or not the cops give a d*** about tints, but I couldn't care less. They definitely pull the look together.

I contemplated the manual, but I'm routinely sitting in traffic, and don't feel like dealing with the manual ALL the time. I was thinking Pypes pype bombs, do you have the Gt500's? How do you like them?
