I dont disagree, you can never have too much HP. The problem with the CTS-V isnt the motor, it's the rest of the car.

Keeping an eye on the upcoming GT350 and GT500s, IMO Ford is doing a lot more "right" these days than the other domestics.

Yup, my 2013 GT was a blast, I can't even imagine how much fun a gt350/gt500 would be.

That GT350 looks very promising but unfortunately I need a sedan in my life. Here's what I think it's going to kill all of these great new models that are coming out for 2016....Dealer Markups!

Brad, did you hear the sound clip for the GT350?

You've had a pretty good stable of cars ATG37, post up pics if you feel like it

No haven't checked it out, but that is a model w/ a lot of upside. I'm sure dealer markup will be redic, it'll be interesting seeing what the "out the door" price is on those new Dodge Hellcats.
Luckily I wouldn't be buying one fresh, so maybe once they're out there awhile deals should be decent. Of course this is assuming these cars are what I'm envisioning they'll be

There is still something about the Challengers that I find incredibly appealing. I'm sure they're not nimble and mostly a boulevard cruiser, but those looks.

Absolutely. There's no denying it. The Challenger still makes me stop and look, regardless of trim level. But just like the Camaro, and the CTS Coupe, the Challenger goes from exotic to awkward in a split second, the closer you actually get to the car.

For some reason, GM and Chrysler lose their external appeal as you approach the car. Ford's Mustang doesn't suffer from that non-quantifiable property. The Stang is just as good up-close and inside as it is from far away. Problem is with Ford, the design bar isn't that high to begin with.

Pretty abstract assessment, I'll admit. I will also admit to liking all three pony cars (and the one luxury sport coupe) from a distance. I can't help myself. But as soon as you get close to them, Ford's new Mustang is the only one I remain somewhat interested in.

It sounds really nice, here is the clip. It's not much of a sound clip but she does sound purdy and those Recaro seats though

Hey that new Z28 though is a beast tearing up everyone on the track. It even beat Godzilla on the track. Simply an amazing piece of machinery there with that Camero. I haven't checked out the interior but I'm sure it should be decent. IMO the Chrysler's don't tickle my fancy at all. Did you guys see that guy in Utah that totaled his Hellcat less than an hour after he purchased it?

Out of the three pony cars I'd only buy one, a Mustang, and even then I would only buy 2 of their models/trim levels.

Boss 302


Roush Stage 3

I'd get it in gun-metal, with all gloss-black trim, including the rims; no chrome or silver.

Got close to buying a GT like that four years ago, but backed away and chose Infiniti and a more chill color scheme.

The GT350 is suppose to be as good or better than the BOSS 302!

I'm not a huge fan of the new body style yet. A coworker as a new GT in black, and I'm not real impressed with the exterior styling. But another coworker has a 2010 Roush stage 3 in black that I think looks gorgeous and sounds absolutely amazing, side note, he also has a Grand Cherokee SRT8 heavily modified too that sounds killer too.
