ozz Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 I talked to a dealer on Friday, was supposed to call in an pay a deposit today but had hangover from hell! Trying again Monday or Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 You can't buy a Stang and not have a V8 in it, that's the whole point!! Very cheap to rent them for anyone who is planning on a trip to the US. How is the cornering Abz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 You can't buy a Stang and not have a V8 in it, that's the whole point!! I'd prefer mine with a 1500hp, 27L Rolls Royce Supercharged V12. http://atomictoasters.com/wp-content/gallery/wwii-aircraft-photos/north-american-p-51-mustang-photo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 How is the cornering Abz? Isn't actually that bad, it isn't great compared to throwing around an RS4 or M3 convertible, and you can really feel the weight of the car pushing it but seeing as most folks will be cruising in it anyway they'd hardly notice. I'd prefer mine with a 1500hp, 27L Rolls Royce Supercharged V12. http://atomictoasters.com/wp-content/gallery/wwii-aircraft-photos/north-american-p-51-mustang-photo.jpg Not them stangs Jay!!

ozz Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Handling is supposed to be sorted with the new rear suspension. Very, very fast car, 0-62 in 4.4 seconds and there is already a 'charged version. I've been listening to sounds clips on youtube, makes me giggle like a little kid. The last car that sounded that good was my NA supra with the Blitz Nur Spec. I really hope I'm lucky and can get one - the dealer said no chance at first, made a few calls and said he can take a deposit. and yes, has to be the V8! Porsche just been serviced and MOT'd so will likely go up for sale soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This is something that I am looking to order, however, another point to note is that the Ford Performance catalogue will be released in the UK for use on the mustang, and this offers serious options, also, some Ford dealers in the UK will be RTR dealers, which means you can spec the car new with 725bhp, however, I'm looking at ordering a spec 2, so it has the bodystyling package plus some bolt on breathing mods, it looks aggressive as hell: http://www.mustangrtr.com/images/backgrounds/rtr-home-bkgnd.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 When you get it marc you will have to bring it to squires are you still keeping the supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I heard a fantastic rumour about this car last night at a work gig. I can't tell you yet, but it's not going to make you want one less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I've paid a deposit for one, I guess it will still be a lottery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 When you get it marc you will have to bring it to squires are you still keeping the supra? Ha, yes I would and no, it would be replacing the 3 Series as the daily, it obviously depends on funds, but forcasting looks good, so hoping that by the time it's released I should be in a comfortable position to get an RTR one.

May have to look into that a bit more, have you got a list of who will be the UK dealerships for rtr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So the prices have been announced, from £28,995 for the 2.3T and £32,995 5.0 GT. Personally I think that's a fantastic price for a brand new V8 with 418hp, LSD, leather throughout, IRS, launch control, line lock as well as all the other features you would expect on a modern car. I think they will sell well, possibly really well if Ford do good Finance/Lease deals on them. Mmmm, V8 in Magnetic or Deep impact blue. http://www.ford.co.uk/ConfigureyourCar/NewMustang/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is a good price, considering the likes of the new RS3 will cost 40k and have 370 bhp, not a direct competitor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is an incredibly good price! To put things into perspective, the price of the V8 Mustang is the same price a Focus RS which is a hot hatch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayside_supra Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think the car looks awesome. I had a 2014 model in the States and drove from LA to Vegas through Death Valley in April last year and fell in love, even though it was a V6 auto rental car special which is definitely not the one I would buy. Went back to Vegas in October and saw the new shape and does look really cool in the flesh. It will look superb on UK roads, and I agree with everyone it has to have a V8. The one to have will be the GT350 they are working on, naturally aspirated V8 with over 500 BHP and a flat plane crank and 8000 rpm redline, will be epic!

JasonR24 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What a great price. I'm glad they didn't shaft us too much. Definitely better value than the gt86 tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So the prices have been announced, from £28,995 for the 2.3T and £32,995 5.0 GT. Personally I think that's a fantastic price for a brand new V8 with 418hp, LSD, leather throughout, IRS, launch control, line lock as well as all the other features you would expect on a modern car. Line lock is not *really* the sort of thing most car owners would want, or might even know what it is! I have used the expression "All fur coat and no knickers" once today already, in another thread. I can think of nothing more appropriate for this rather garish piece of American automotive styling. Engineering is somewhat too complimentary If I had a daughter I'd be aghast at a young man arriving in such a thing to take her out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I wasn't sure at first but I'm starting to like it now that I've taken a second look. One thing's for sure though, you will certainly get some looks at the traffic lights. I bet it sounds quite yummy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Line lock is not *really* the sort of thing most car owners would want, or might even know what it is! Could be useful for playing tricks on the OH though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I paid deposit before Christmas and talked to my Ford dealer again today who took my option details. I'm still a little surprised that I might be having one but they seem confident. We'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 My colleague talked to Ford last week trying to buy a mustang and was told due to numbers waiting he won't get one until 2016 earliest. Ford called me again today and because I managed to pay a deposit they have confirmed the car options I want and said I should be able to have one of the first group built. Binding order will be placed by April, built in Aug/Sep then shipped to me Q4!!! Exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looking forward to the pics. But it won't be a real Mustang until you strap an enormous supercharger to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won't be a real Mustang until you strap an enormous supercharger to it I still think they are ugly from the front, EU regs! But I'm buying the noise and the idea . Hopefully this will be a very long term car for me so yes SC will be an option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
