That's a big strike against mustangs...NOT.
Over 50% of households in NYC are allegedly car-free. There will be an increasing Congestion Fee in places like Manhattan if they don't have it already. Eventually they will ban private cars completely from these sorts of places. There was a private car entry fee to Helsinki (Finland) already 40+ years ago which was high enough to make people leave their cars in parking lots and drive buses or trains into the city. And Helsinki is no Manhattan.
Driving a car in Manhattan may be still a tourist attraction (I did it several times for the experience) but it's no fun if you have to do it dailyand it seems like it has no future.
A real car enthusiast should move out of crowded ratholes to greener pastures.
There is a reason why civicx Waking the Dragon meet is not in Manrattan or San Fransicko, but in a place where cell phones don't work.
I used to make a few deliveries in Manhattan from a company on Long Island twice a week for 7 years it was in a small straight job but it was a bitch during lunch hour in Manhattan
Actually they just park their SUVs across the river in a NJ parking garage. It's the Manhattanites version of Bible-thumping.That's a big strike against mustangs...NOT.

It was the Grande model, notch back I guess. It did have the 351 Cleveland engine.
Yes 1000xAll I can say about Mustangs is, I’d take one any day of the week over something like this:
A lifted Escalade??All I can say about Mustangs is, I’d take one any day of the week over something like this:
. I'm willing to bet anything that it will never even see grass let alone go off road. I can see how some people who actually like to go off road want to lift their SUV's/Trucks (my first car was a '03 Tacoma with a a lift on it that I actually used to take on off road courses), but the type of person who lifts a Cadillac Escalade so aggressively is probably someone who's trying to compensate lol.
It a throwback from the 80s.when the Bigfoot rage was popular they lifted everything station wagons pintos,Vega’s ,VW bugs .the body’s where put on lifted truck chassis unlike the Escalade. But it’s just as ridiculous in my opinionA lifted Escalade??
Ummm, no dude, just no. This pretty much sums up your attitude and your thread, and I did not even get beyond this post yet. People buys cars because that is what they like and what they can afford, perhaps you are just jealous? I really like the Charger but, I do not trust Dodge Reliability, after my experience with the Dart. That said, I like how they look very, very much.
I'm w rivers. I road race, and I instruct for some track clubs, and for the first time ever, in 2014, I was really impressed with the Z28 on the track. Its still not exactly my style. But I am impressed. And the new GT350 and the ZL1 1LE is impressive too. I have a lot of fun when I get a chance to drive onw.
As a charter member of Save The Manuals you are so right. I guess an F1 style paddle shift is fine - if you're driving in Formula One at 200 mph. Otherwise, not so much. Bless Honda for only offering the SI with a six speed manual. It is a driver's car.
I know what you mean. For every like 50 Mustangs I see, I maybe see 1 current Type R. Makes the Type R more rare which I love. If the law of supply and demand and scarcity is true then the Type R should be worth a lot more second hand in the long run.
Sure there are a lot of American muscle cars on the road. News flash, we are in America, and these are fast cars. Not my first choice because I need better mileage and agree with the Colin Chapman, the late founder of Lotus, who said 'first add more lightness.' A heavy car with a lot of power will never feel as nimble or toss-able as a lighter car with less power.
