I love the GT500KR.  That's the one for me.

GT/CS. The essence of Mustang.

You didn't include the Shelby GT. 

This is a tough one.  I like the GT500 and the KR.  I'd love a Mustang GT with spoiler delete, though. 

As long as it has a V8 and a stick, it should be great.  But I think the Mustang GT is the best canvas on which to build my masterpiece.

You're right.  I cna't believe I forgot it since it's my second favourite Mustang built by Ford.

Especially coming from you, that's a huge oversight!

If we're talking about which one I would buy as a complete car, I think the SGT is the one I would go with.

I would take the Mustang GT too for a starting point to my own creation, but if I was just going to buy a Mustang and never modify it, then I would get the KR.

Well, you and I differ on power, so I understand why you'd take the KR.  I think I would buy a GT500 myself just for the badass and shits-and-giggles factor as well (as considering how much you get for 40 grand and how habitable the interior is now, it makes entry-luxury cars look a little silly), but I just don't need that kind of power.  I have a very fast car right now, and it's not easy to use that kind of power, and it's not easy to resist that temptation to use it.

Your car also weighs half as much as a GT500 :lol:

Even if I got a KR with 540 hp I think I would still have the need to swap a smaller pulley on the supercharger and change the computer programming for 600+ hp.  It would be way too cheap to do...not to do it. :rockon:

I picked the V6 Mustang.  All the other Mustangs are at price ranges that put it into competition with other cars I'd rather have.  90% of the Mustangs I see on the road are V6's anyway, so I guess I'll be in good company.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

My dad and i both drive 6 bangers now.

Though if i really had my choice, it would have been a V8, although i must say this six banger is a blast to drive despite its, sometimes lack of motivation  :tounge:

By choice, none of them.  If I was forced, then the yellow one.

Sacrilege!!!  You want one and you know it.  You just can't let everyone know that you would drive a crude and rude American badass........






..........or you really just don't like it.  I don't see that as being possible though, so it must be the first thing I said.

280Z Turbo

Whatever one is the fastest. :huh:

I don't really care too much. A Mustang is just a Mustang. The Mustang seems to have more "special editions" than even the Chevy Monte Carlo had!

The Mustang has always had more special editions then any other car.  The Mustang has always had the most tuners and aftermarket support too, so what's your point?

Oh never mind. :lol:

Special editions offer varying degrees of performance, power, and looks for anyone to chose from.  There is a Mustang for everyone who wants one.  That's the beauty of the Stang.

Regular GT for me. I can take the extra money and make it look better and probably run better than most of the others.

It's not the crudeness!  I'm just not a fan of the looks.  I love the classic Mustangs though.
