HOPEFULLY LESS THAN A YEAR WAIT: New 2018 (MY18) S550.2 Mustang V8 10-speed ordered

[Gibbo]

how long will it be before you're bored of this car too, because i give you less than a year.......finally, you cant really make your Mustang unique can you, because it's a Ford and there are so many of them for sale right now.....it's boring to look at them all.

I like to enjoy cars, its a hobby and I'd have kept the Mustang if they had no made such big improvements, but as such they did, hence the next one and I wanted a good automatic.
Everytime I see a Mustang on the road, which is rare, I get excited. Not many other cars cause this to happen unless its something like a Fezza, Lambo etc.

What is it your driving? Any new fantasy car purchases in the pipeline?

Haha brilliant.

The mustang looks a brilliant car and Gibbos looked even better than stock I liked it a lot and loved the grey.

I cant wait to see what mods gibbo does to the new car.

i knew that was coming, it's not the money, i just cant make my mind up........... common sense tells me to go for the WRX STI because of the roads around here........ but the other side of me says go for the 2018 Mustang.

You could not make this up could you, just winged like hell about the digital dash, now considering one, LOL!

 

[wedrum]

Haha very strange

i never said i didn't like the car LOL, I just said I wasn't mad keen on the dash...........but i cant have the same car colour as yours can i, so it looks like Yellow or red....... because yellow hides the pollen and dust better than any other colour.

Why on earth not, man no one cares about colour or having same colour as someone else, you just buy the one you want, and not like were ever likely to meet and seriously so what.

I've being to a lot of Mustang meets, not one car ever looks the same because the owners do tweak/mod them in some way, mine was a one of a kind, there was no other UK car running around with the same bodykit / styling and wheels as mine had.

we might meet at the Pod but it is a damned long drive for me, i have to say that orange is the best colour, in any case i liked the orange before you so it's not fair....................HA HA, i'm a strange bloke nobody understands me when i'm online !

it looks nasty in blue ! but maybe that's because it's on the dyno, i'm wondering Chrome Racing Mags.......... I LOVE CHROME wheels, because we all had chrome wheels when we were younger....dead easy to clean too, brake dust will come off easily

Wow this guy is weird.

 

[Blackhawk47]

Doubt anyone understands you in person..........................................ha.

One of the funniest things I have read in ages, hahaha. Car will be superb, hopefully will get to see it one day at a meet. How are you handling the wait? I am so impatient and end up reading *everything* about a new car and watching just about everything on youtube relating to it to tide me over!

Doing this essentially and messing with the Golf R I've got as a tie me over until it comes. Finally seen the engine without the nasty cover and just hoping to see more reviews from press and owners over coming weeks in the US. Also really keen to hear if owners can replicate the sub 4s to 60 that Ford claim as thats quite a big shout for a RWD car, though am sure the A10 helps a lot with that.

When does the US get the new car ?

Now. The car that ran a 12.0@117mph was a customers car who works for Late Model Restoration.

SO WHERES YOURS THEN!?!!

I had a look on on fords website and im not sure if they've updated it yet as theres some pictures of the new one but orange isnt available and the car is cheap at £38k. How would you compare yours to an M3/M4 gibbo, is it a case of one is far more precise to drive?

Ford UK build and price site is still showing the 2015-2017 model. The 2018 model is not available to "officially" order as yet so is not on the site.

Although they do show a few images to whet the appetite.

Ford USA has the 2018 Mustang build and price on their site as the car is available to buy now.
You can get an idea of colours and some options available from there.

Coming in as $50,000, not sure how that stacks up as a uk price.

The plan for mine, same wing, same black roof, same mirrors, wheels I will keep a dark colour but not gloss black and the front either a 350 kit or something different, will decide that once I have the car, but loving it, orange was risky at first, but the more I see, the more I am happy with my choice.
