I would love to get a new car!!! Like the Challeger Hellcat or the Demon!! Or maybe just a new Mustang... Hell maybe even a Corvette!! Seems like most modded Mustang guys are getting Corvettes or Vipers these days.
Anyway, if it wasn't because I spent over $85K on my S197, I would be driving a newer car/Mustang... But I am stuck with my S197...the best I could sell it for would be maybe $25K. Would hurt so much to give it away after all the money, hours, tears, stress, and blood I put into that car.
So, I am stuck with my S197 till death do us part....or some act of nature takes her out and I cash in on the insurance... lol
But I do have to admit, I love the body style and I still get people giving me thumbs up and wanting to talk about the car. It's still one pretty fast car...just lacks the finesse of the new ones.
I meant Coyotes going 12s in stock form. I couldnt break into the 13s with my 3v when it was stock. Trap speed was at 99-100mph like clockwork at 1200-1500' DA.
Even with 133 ragging ponies and 243 ft-lbs?
I have the urge to buy a 2018 something.
F150 x-cab 2wd w/5.0 and e-locker...
or...Mustang GT auto (base model)
I can get either for about the same price.
I'm just torn between my love for the newer Ford trucks and the A10 trans in the 2018 GT.
I've never owned a new car before and to get one brand new that runs mid to low 12's bone stock is enticing.
Can't afford to replace it with something newer, like a S550. Too much $$ tied up as is, with a myriad of endless mods, which I will never recoup.
My only thoughts on buying a brand new Mustang are look at how the values of used Mustangs just plummeted after the 2018 became available... It's not going to look good when the S650, or whatever is next in 2-3 years comes out.
This for sure right now. I feel like I'm going to have my car for 15+ years at this point. Maybe when your average new electric car is faster than me and my future goals of 650 whp on low boost I'll just throw my hands up and quit being a car guy lol
