The advantages of being 172cm  :grin:

I'm normal size, all 166cm of me . I can fit into a lot of things that oversize people can't. Only problem I have is reaching something on the top shelf. That's it, I'm now going to take the Cobra for a run to make my day.

Hi everyone,

Pretty excited today. Just received an invite from Bayford in Coburg in relation to the 2015 mustang reveal. This will be my first Mustang can't wait. Especially being a Holden boy :lol:

I ordered an ecoboost, work pays for fuel so no V8....

It's great to see new people to the forum, regardless of V8 or Ecoboost, it's still good to see potential new mustang owners relate to and getting involved in what it is to own a mustang, good all round I reckon.

Don't know about that.

While many forum  members have indicated they're getting one, I think most buyers will be people (see how I did the non-sexist thing there?) who aren't necessarily rusted on Mustang tragics but and would have bought an XR8 or, shudder, an SS Commodore if they still made them in the future.

Anyway, I hope Ford sells a lot of them but that the buyers don't all join the club and turn up at meetings because I never get a seat.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I have been reading through this forum for a while and it's good to see people talking about what they love and helping each other out.
I've always wanted a mustang but it was always out of reach. Great to see Ford has stepped up to plate to make it happen for people like me.

I'll be honest the mustang was the only car to convert me to the blue oval  :grin:Just hope it meets my expectations  :cheers:

Looks like a winner if you are not burdened with kids!

Surprisingly, got a good wrap up from the September issue of Motor magazine, which is renowned for its heavy bias to GM, should be called General Motor magazine. :grin:

I don't know why they compared it to a GM V8 family sedan and then panned it for rear leg room. Running 235x18 tyres that are only just better than wintertreads is also baffling.

I've always said they need to do comparisons with equal brand and size rubber. How many times do they compare automatics to manual cars?

Haven't really been a buyer of this magazine, or Wheels for that matter, for decades, so last year I bought a subscription to both. Fairly unimpressed with both, the writers seem to be impressed with their own self importance.

They are also sadly lacking in mechanical skills and knowledge. The attempt to run 300kph in the last Falcon GT showed a basic stupid mistake when then tried to run the number in the heat of the day when both horsepower and traction are reduced!

Back to the 2015 Mustang, might buy one after the initial rush, it'll be an automatic, I'm just a bit unsure of how good the US unit is. I would have preferred the ZF unit. I'm also glad they are providing them initially without superchargers too, no need for unnecessary complications.

Bit like that Hellfire Challenger that only got a mile or two from the dealership before he wrapped it around a tree.

Ended up test driving a Eco boost 2l in a falcon yeresterday. to my surprise  they go not to bad. But just didn't feel right to me been so quiet and the whole turbo feel in a mussel car. So I have now changed my order to a v8.  :event:

The Ecoboost 4 cylinder Falcon does 14.5 to 14.8 second quarter miles and can get 32mpg.

But you are right the fours with hair driers just don't sound right!

With the horsepower load you are spreading it over a smaller area, I would expect greater wear over the years, as well as having the turbocharger system to need more maintenance.
