Tony, why the no sale anymore?

Stage_3

When I'm ready to buy something new, I may just trade it in. It's A LOT easier and less of a headache. (Obviously, this all depends on the amount they give me for trade.)
Ideally, I'd love to keep it, since I own it, and add another machine to the fleet. Keep the truck as my daily driver. But, I keep asking myself if I really need another car and my conscience ruins it for me. LOL
(I am working on paying the truck off as quick as I can. My personal goal is to have the whole 2017 calendar year paid off in May sometime. I have 4 months to go. I'll just keep paying it forward as I currently do thereafter. I'm sending in almost 80 dollars extra every month.)

First drive of the 2017 calendar year! I was debating myself about taking it out because it's pretty cool, (only 32 degrees), but it's really sunny out and I wanted to fire it up and get all the moving parts fluid again.
(How do I drive this thing again?!?! Manual shift??!,...what's that?! lol )
I can't wait to give her a nice detail once it warms up.

It's nice how they respond to the cool air isn't it.

looking good Tony! I already activated Marilyn... drove her 2x so far. I gotta do a fresh detail and oil change yet, when it warms up.

Yeah looking at those pics of yours - how did you EVER think about selling her? lol.

Stage_3

Yes it is Mark! Pretty awesome.

Thanks Burton!
I have to do the same. Nice Rinseless wash and detail. And, an oil change.

Stage_3

I TOTALLY missed it, but March 20th was 4 years with my Green Machine.
Wow, those 4 years literally flew by!

Hey Tony, I didn't know they made a Stage 3 automatic. What were the specs on hp, etc?

Stage_3

Yes Lee. They did make automatics as well.
They were rated the same HP/TQ and all that good stuff, just different transmissions.

Rather B.Blown

Never knew for sure. I saw one online for sale at a dealer and wasn't sure if they made one or not, thought it might have been a clone or something, or it wasn't a Stage 3. Its got 7000 miles on it, a '13. Asking $35K for it.

Stage_3

Do you have a link Lee?

That's a killer price for it. 35K for a '13 Stage 3 with 7k on the clock is decent. to put it into perspective, I was asking 43K and I have less than 3,100 on the clock, and never in snow/rain/wet pavement. (That last part to me is HUGE if I was buying a used modern day muscle car. Never in rain/snow/wet pavement.)

Same here for me, cause a car like that is going to be a toy for me. Along with one owner, that I can talk to personally.

I was just browsing around for the hell of it and it popped up when looking for Mustangs within a 100 miles. The auto part just kind of threw me, never seen one.

So,....when do you pick it up?!?!
That is a GORGEOUS car! Wow, that is really nice. Got the upgraded seats and gauges like I do. (Not all had that.) Killer color combo!
Black with red and silver stripes and chrome wheels. Gorgeous car.

Rather B.Blown

LOL, not picking it up. Just looking around while bored. And TBH, if I did buy another toy, its likely to have an LS or LT engine variant in it, or hellcat in some form. If it did end up being a Ford, it would likely have to be another SVT of some sort.


Besides, who would want a black car with red and silver stripes? What kind of weirdo would drive something like that?

Stage_3

LMMFAO

I think it looks killer!!
Really Lee?!??! An LS or LT engine? Been there and done that. LS engines are nice as are the new LT's. A cammed LS/LT engine sounds so healthy and nasty. Love all cars bro. As long as it looks killer, has killer performance and sounds killer, I like it. lol
I'm really thinking my next car is going to be a Hellcat Challenger. (Although, I have been looking at some really low mileage '13/'14 GT500's lately. LOL Shhhhhhhhhh! )

Rather B.Blown

I've got a huge hardon for a hellcat, and a 13-14 500 would be on my radar too. But, the next toy I buy is probably going to be more used than I normally go for so it would be a while for a hellcat or 13/14 500 in that condition. Next one I'm gonna look for something that has already had the "new" driven out of it so I'm not so worried about keeping it so pristine and worrying about nicks and wear all the time. Something I can drive a lot and not worry about mileage, depreciation, etc.

Maybe even an older 500 with some miles on it, that I can slap a big blower on or something. Maybe even a C6 z06, I still love those cars.

Stage_3

Lee,...there are A TON of used Hellcats out there. A LOT.

It's looking like brand new Hellcat Challenger for me or a slightly used '13/'14 GT500 for me. (When I say "slightly used", I mean, mileage below 10K and less. BUT, of course, you pay for it.) I'd get the A8 as well. I'm dying to play with those paddle shifts. They shift so fcking fast! I watched a Youtube video that someone created and it's instantaneous.
Everyone loves the C6 cars. I like them, but not in love with them. I was looking at C7 Z06's last night as well, but I don't think I'm a 'Vette kind of guy. Plus, for that money of a C7 Z06 with 3LZ, I could have a brand new Hellcat Challenger and 1,000HP and over 850TQ. (I'd have to get the 3LZ, of course.)
Good luck with the search bro!

FromZto5

Used Hellcats?!?!?!?! now you got my ear perked up. Any Challengers with sticks?!?!?!?! That's what I want.

Stage_3

LOL
There a ton of them out there Burton.
Not sure if they are manual or automatics. But, I did a quick search one day because I was curious and it was page after page after page.
(I know I'll get flack for it, but my next toy is going to be an automatic with paddle shifts. The Hellcat A8 shifts AMAZINGLY fast and crisp with the paddle shifts and without. I'm not alone, A LOT of the members on svtperformance are doing the same. A lot have bought Hellcats and are looking to buy Hellcats. Most of them A8's.) Hellcats are beastly bro.
That's all I read about them on the other Mustang forums, but they can't turn. LOL
