Cobra93, is your Mustang a manual or automatic tranny?

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

In other forums I used to be known as GTO_Fan. My fave is the 1966 model.

I prefer a car that looks good without having to rely on previous designs. And having lived with two GM and one GM-powered car; I'm willing to put my money on the GTO. The interior seems more usable, and I am all for the sleeper looks. Something that looks innocent and had more than enough balls to blow your doors off.

Make it Impulse blue metallic with the matching interior, manual and I am happy.



Oh, and the Monaro VXR rims would be more than welcome.

I went ahead and voted Mustang, only because to me Mustang Convertible > GTO > Mustang Coupe.

One would have to get suspension bits for it, though.

I have no idea. Since we're comparing the Shelby GT and the GTO, it's a tough choice. If it was the GT, I would take the GTO. IMO, the Mustang is better looking by a large margin, but that LS2 is an absolutely fantastic motor. Meh, until Ford puts a new motor in the Mustang GT, the GTO gets my vote.

Not having driven them, a GTO. But, a '05 GT is on my list of cars to look at next year (haven't really looked at prices though). For anyone that cars, black with red leather for the GTO and silver with black leather for the Mustang.

Yeah, something wrong with that?

I just don't think silver works well with angular designs.  That's why pre-flame BMWs didn't look good in silver.

Not at all, but have you ever seen the red leather interior in the Mustang?  It's hot.  The red leather is on my list of must-haves when I'm looking for my 2005 Mustang next year.

TBR

It's too red for my tastes. The Mustang interior is already so shamelessly retro (I really don't like it) and have that retro of color for the interior would put it over the line imho.

And, silver looks awesome on Mustangs. I get so tired of seeing black and red ones.

You immature fucking moron. How can you not like the Mustang because it's retro!? It's the best car on the face of the planet and you had no right to say what you said! That is perhaps the stupidest statement ever posted on CarSPIN!

The Red is too red? :wtf:
IMHO the red GTO and 'Stang interiors are awesome.

It makes the interior look cheap to me.

I went GTO.

I know big surprise but I only know the GTO- I'm thinkning about driving a Cobra/GT500 to see if it's as fast as mine. 

On another note I'm buying the 96 Cobra Hounddog has on time.  Until it's half paid for in a couple months he's keeping it - upside- he doesn't drive it.  When I do get possesion of it my G/F will drive one of them during the summer and I'll drive the ohter.  By then we MAY get married ...............but like I told her- don't hold me to it. :lol:  Yup we'll have 4 cars.  I think I'm gonna sell my truck because we'll have her Durango adn I'm drivin the GTO when it's not too bad out anyway in the winter.

Really?? I thought it was by far the richest looking colour for the interior.? To each their own.

This kinda ironic this thread was about 100X more civil than the 350Z vs Mustang thread.

The blue interior on the GTO is better. How many more cars will you see with blue leather? not that many.


Oh and grabber orange for a mustang.

I'm sorry, but the interior on the Mustang is an absolute nightmare. I've sat in one and hated it instantly. They need to add that tacky aluminum shit just so it doesn't look like a work truck interior.
