Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Build a Mustang

Mr Ford sent me a letter today with a special offer so my granson and I went to their website and built our Mustang. Had to be a Mach 1 ..the Shelby started at something like 68000 dollars.. So our Mustang had 5.0 5 speed transmission with a handling package,cause you know up here in the mountains, i need a handling package. All for the low low price of only 58000+.. That's 945 dollars a month for 5 years. That 1250 dollar coupon will sure come in handy so thank you Mr Ford but Ill have to pass on this one.. Oh yeah, I am really pi**ed with yall for building another crappy little SUV and putting a Mustang name plate on it. For that I will never forgive you.

I think the worst thing ever done as far as crappy little junk bucket getting a legendary name was the little rollerskate that got the GTO and LeMans names. Don't remember what year it was anymore but it looked like a 3 cylinder Geo. I just tried searching a picture but didn't see it.

I worked at a Chevy dealership when we had to go GEO. I had to work on Toyotas and Suzukis in disguise. Two things I can never forgive Chevrolet for was calling a Lumina a MonteCarlo and the Nova rebirth that looked remarkably like a Toyota Tercel. Wasn't hip to their rebirth of the Camaro either.. Ford did a bangup job with the Mustang in 05 and Chrysler built a dang nice retro machine with the Challenger (but they got rid of Plymouth..buttholes) and what like 6 years later they built that spaceship looking Camaro thing. Oh yeah that 4 door Impala SS was a big disappointment too.

I agree with all of those. Ford messed up the Mustang really bad in the mid 70s ,if I remember right, with the Mustang II, Wasn't a fan of the early 70s Mustang either with that really long hood. Those were like 71 and 72 or something like that. I like the new Camaros and Challengers to look at but not to drive. They are powerful and fun but visibility is bad.

I agree wholeheartedly about the Challengers and Camaros. I didn't like the ergonomics at all and visiblity is even worse than my Mustang. I'm guessing i just shouldn't back up and I would be okay.

If you have ever been in a Charger or Magnum they are even worse, if that's possible. Actually, my mom says her Jeep is pretty bad that way too. It's like a 2019 or 2020 I think, Grand Cherokee.

Well...at least it has a rear camera, yes? I understand that is a fed requirement since model year 2018. Or so I think.

I was only in older ones than that with no camera. I am also not sure how much good a camera would do for changing lanes and such. I have never driven my moms jeep.

Good points!
