A recreational car purchase: test drove a 2016 Mustang GT

It was low on frilly options and had cloth seats but had some performance goodies added (I.e. Bembo brakes and graded rubber).
Was cheaper than expected at $31k.....$35 msrp
Salesman was pushing the Saleen but at $63k, waaaayyyy out of ball park. Still, that is a damn 700HP fire breather. Impressive.
What else are good thoughts on a "toy" car in the 35k range?

How trashy did you feel when you stepped out of it?

2) Stuff LSX into piece of shite Miata
3) Enjoy your stupidly large grin

Honestly, I get the stigma in years past, but it was a damn fun car to drive and feels quality. I've considered a later model Shelby (esp the 2013), but they are cost prohibitive for used.

V-6 car?

On no...... 460HP 5.0
Also figured a supercharger upgrade later. $7k and up to 575-600hp
Think there is future fun in mods......

For 31K I'd rock that bad boy in a heartbeat.

Hope you had your "fancy" bama hat on

That's the reaction I was afraid of coming from someone who knows.........must. Not. Do. It. Lol

The 5.0 isn't a 460 hp car stock. 435/390

Ah true...435

Man, we are only here for a little bit. If you have the discretionary funds, have fun.
I would check out the manual Camaro too, but I think Ford has a better interior than GM in the pony-car wars.

The 6th gen camaro is gonna be A poor man's C7 stingray vette. 455/455 LT1 motor from the c7 stingray, 3700 pounds, 8 speed auto or 6 speed manual. 0-60 in 4.0, 1/4 in 12.2 bone stock.

Best interior goes to the 15+ challenger and charger. You can get into a R/T scat pack with the 6.4L hemi (485/470) for 38ish.

If it is purely recreational get a Polaris Slingshot. Its around 20k and while I haven't driven one I did ride in one and HOLY shite was it fun. Not as fast as the GT but feels much faster.

Test drove one, wasn't impressed turn radius is awful
