But to your question - what do you mean? I guess the answer would be not much. If I drive 2k - 3k per year on Marilyn, the new/other toy car will split the difference between the 2 cars, so 1-1.5k miles between the 2 cars (reducing each's mileage).

Yeah, in that case you might as well just keep the Mustang and use that money for something else. Or combine the sale of your Mustang and the cost of a Camaro and get something really really nice. Would you really want two cars of the same class (muscle car) and similar year? That's kind of like buying a Camry and an Accord and daily driving them every other day. Just my thoughts tho...

I hear ya... but that's what I said in my original post in this thread - no selling/trading Marilyn. She'll be mine forever, lol. Your comparison though is somewhat valid, except that the Camry and Accord are EXTREMELY boring cars to drive A similar year muscle car (or any of the others) would be like switching between a GT350 and a Hellcat (both are similar but wayyyyy fun to drive).

Speaking of which, how did a Shelby GT500 or GT350 not make my list? I completely forgot to add this.

so,

aa) 2013-14 GT500 (used, in pristine condition, as with others) or an S550 GT350. Yep, it's growing on me too.

I'm in the opposite camp. Reminds me a 2009 Scuderia F430, and I love it

A 2017 Mustang GT in Ruby Red Metallic, 5.0 and no stripes. Maybe the CS just because but since it would be my DD I don't want anything too extreme. LOVE the GT350 but it would be a track day car.

I'm starting to rethink the 2016 GT350. I'm thinking about going back to my first love, and maybe get something with tracks,.............and armor plate, and maybe a turret with a barrel. I hear the Germans are selling their Leopard 1s.

There are plenty of low mileage used Challengers if you want a tank, buddy.

I go back and forth on this. I enjoy my Mustang, but the things that bother me about it (no telescoping steering column = to this day still hunting for the perfect driving position, size/weight, etc.) make me wonder how much longer it'll be in the stable. I came from a hot hatch, and may go to a Golf R to have the practicality and a bit of performance in one package.

I feel you on that! I wonder if an S550 steering wheel and column can be retrofitted into an S197

My wife said I can get a new car when I'm 60, unfortunately that won't be until 2019. But....I will be looking at:

GT 350
GT500 (probably will be too expensive)
Corvette Grand Sport
Camaro ZL1
HellKitty (if they change the platform)

Hopefully the HP wars will still be going strong by then.

I would like a Truck F150 or Ram 1500 quad cab, followed closely by a Jeep Wrangler. I've always wanted a Jeep, to do some off-roading.

Maybe it's time for some COMPLETE rethinking.

I personally would never buy a car based only on the exhaust note. I like my cars quiet anyway.
