I personally wish they didnt drop the front so low it looks like the ford fusion almost, the back of the car looks good though its just that front eh.

A majority of new mustang owners are young girls and guys but more so girls own a mustang, my generation females would not be into the retro style they want the curvy futuristic looks, the "modern" young females pretty much have no ovaries when it comes to sports cars they like weird shit.

As far as performance there was no reason to keep the boss it was too much of a financial premium for minimum increase in performance over the 5.0 which by the way is an amazing engine. Then there is the 5.8 supercharged which drops 660+ horsepower, it just made sense to take out the middle ground. Performance wise over all the newest year trim lines are going to all perform the same to their previous year trim lines.

Now for your options, cheapest move in long run would be get the 2014 model mustang with the engine that best suits you with the interior you want. Doing an engine swap and upgrades to your current mustang when you physically cant do the work yourself is a money pit. You will have spent at least half to 2/3rds the money needed to get into a 2014 model that you would want.

I have a really good salesman at freehold ford that can get you a real good deal if you lean toward the 2014, the company I have a franchise with has been using this guy for 10+ years .

Nope. And since I'm not a NASCAR fan, and don't take this as snotty, I don't really care.

I'm not racing my car. I bought it to enjoy it. Gonna put a cold air kit on it soon and then think about tweaking other things in the future.

Thanks for the offer at Freehold Ford. I used them years ago too when my ex was buying fleets. Matt's dad can do better for us - he's retired from Ford and we get the A Plan on new cars

The new Mustang is ugly. Period. Gender has nothing to do with it. They should have done something BIG for the anniversary year on such an iconic car that's been around all this time without losing popularity.

TenFour - There's way too much traffic here to drive it like I stole it, much to my dismay. I love the CTS and I know I'll never be able to afford one. LOL It's not on the family's A Plan either

The problem is the mustang went from being a iconic muscle car to teenager sports car. You can look up the stats a majority of mustang owners are young females. Today's modern teenager wants the futurist look. Granted ford should have done some sort of throw back for the 50th anniversary but they would not sell as many as they would going with a modern body style. The demographic on a throw back style would be 40-60 years old, people that could appreciate the old design most grow out of the need for speed in that age group and aren't buying secondary cars.
