@6k miles/ year I like Dave & Chris plan on keeping my SHO a long time & when you're already well into your 60's who knows, but anyway EBB my boss has a 2012 carrera gt, & of course in red. A super nice car but looks like he's changing tires again on the back. they sure wear out fast & routine maintance is a lot more that a Flex or SHO, but bound to make those young chicks in bikini's in FL turn there heads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My choice was a bit sarcastic... That's the car that killed Walker and Rodas.  There have been other fatal crashes in that model... It is very unforgiving and squirrely to drive.. RWD and 7 sec to 100 mph!  Autoweek has a big article on issue in their on-line daily e-mail.  I had a Porsche in the 80's, an 84' 944.  Very balanced and appropriately for me... underpowered!

When I sell my Brick, I will either get another one or an Explorer Sport.  Or.. another wagon style vehicle that is both fast and can comfortably haul 6 people. Really itchy for another "toy" but I need to control myself as all 3 of my current vehicles are faster than my 02' Vette, and drive better 99% of the time.

2008 White G8 GT - mods... 8.32 1/8 mi.

This car will only see 6-8k miles per year tops.  So more than likely its a 4-5 year car.  Only had 3k on it when I bought it. 

I want a 12/13 Boss 302 with a supercharger (procharger/paxton).  And plan on keeping it and the miles down.  Collectability will be good with only 1000 made over two years.  Nice balance of handling and outright power.  IMO.  :)

Thinking about trading my wife in in a few years. That will open up many doors for me, when I go to purchase my next vehicle. LOL

I have been on a 3 yr plan with the last few rides. Since we have an 11 month old and I would love to get him into karting I could see myself in an Explorer Sport so I can have more room and towing capacity while still being fast.

+1 on this.  I came from a 2011 GT, and that 2015 looks very nice.  If I can live with the lesser amount of room, then this will most likely be my next purchase.

Still have a couple years on this lease, so plenty of time to decide.

I actually have a poll on another site.  I'm debating on a CLEAN low mileage 04 Cobra, preferably redfire,  C7, 2015 Mustang GT, 2011-12 CTSV sedan auto, or a leftover 2013/14 base/low option GT500......I hate the PP wheels, too busy.

04 and the 2015 GT would get a TVS 2300.  CTSV would be tune/exhuast/pullied.  13/14 would be pullied/exhaust/tune.  C7 tune and full exhaust.  Looking for a 10 second car that can be driven anywhere to replace the traded 09 GT500 I had.

Oh god...I think I just got a chubby....5.0 EB goodness!!!!!

Well with that nasty image implanted in everyones mind - I would LOVE a new Mustang, however having driven them for over 25yrs here in the midwest they are not the most practical car in the winter. That said....either another SHO or a 'Stang.

Figured I'd jump in. Depending on what they do to the 2015 SHO, I also drove a 2014 Chevy SS. Really nice car. Same motor as my 2009 Vette (LS3) so I'm used to that. Great power, great rear drive chassis and larger interior than the SHO. Hmmm

Well I went to a RAM sport hemi! mine goes back tomorrow under the lemon law.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm not sure what I'm doing with my next car...I was thinking about maybe downsizing to a Fusion ST if they ever come out with one...I like my SHO, but she's BIG! I love the 2015 Mustang also, but I have a 2006 Mustang GT paid for already.

My next car I get will be for the Fiancee/Wife, most likely an another Escape or an Edge.
