2013 Mustang GT500

I think I just prefer "American" car interiors.

The newer mustang interiors are so much better than the older mustang interiors IMO. The corvette interior does feel a little bit on the cheap side and somehow the steering wheel reminded me of the cobalt (lol). That really would not stop me from buying a corvette though. I understand that I would be getting incredible driving pleasure per dollar, which completely obliterates the driving pleasure to dollar ratio of other more luxurious cars.

Same thing going on with the Mustang. You obviously cannot have it ALL, but Ford has done an amazing job with the Mustang these past couple years, and in my opinion the interior is actually very nice considering how much car you're getting for the price.

This 2013 looks crazy!

Some of these interior comments are comical.

M3 is a much much more fun car. Whats the point of all that power if it is only good for the straight line.

 

[IcePickFreak]

I'd also wager you're lying. I've gone head to head with 6.0 GTO's and it's neck and neck. Only at the very high end do the 6.0L have more to them as they have more top end.

Let's not pass on the fact that your G8 was killed off with the brand because they sucked.

Damn, you got me.

Ignoring the part where you are full if it, since this isn't the 70s anymore...

The power comes in handy when the M3 wants to race at a stoplight which is what 99.9% of people do.

M3 vs V6 Mustang = M3 revving at the light eager to show off power and acceleration and destroy the Mustang in a straight line in the typical douchebag "my car cost more than urs" fashion.

GT500 with 650 HP pulls up and now the M3 isn't interested and only wants to talk about "twisties" and how straight line doesn't matter...

So typical it hurts.

I have had 2 mustangs. last was a 90 GT man that was a fast fucking car.

but this one wow.. i love it. Don't think i would want to drive it. I drove a Viper (We had it on a car lot we owned) and it was so fucking fast it was scary.

These cars are getting insane with the power.

I agree, it's comical when people are brainwashed into thinking a crappy interior is somehow cheaper to build and saves them money. Plastic is dirt cheap no mater what it feels/looks like. Good design doesn't change the price at all, except maybe the higher salary for a good designer.

The Mustang has a very nice interior and it starts at $21k

Hahaha yeah.

The funny thing about it is a great driver in the V6 Mustang vs. a good driver in a recent M3, depending on the launch the V6 Mustang has a chance. With a GT, the edge starts to slide towards the Mustang by default.

IIRC, a BOSS handily beat an M3 on the track...

The last part of your post may be true, and that's where the problem also starts. The interior may be nice for a $21k car, I haven't been in 2011 Mustang, so I won't debate it isn't, but when the same interior is still in the $50k+ Mustang, that's a major problem. Unless the base Mustang has a fantastic interior, it isn't good enough for a $50k car. You said it yourself, that the interiors all cost the same. So why can't Ford spend no money and put a better designed interior in a car that costs over twice as much as the base model?

What's not good about it? I can't tell what makes it any worse than the interior in a BMW.

I think the Mustang has a fine interior and I'll defend that but even this statement is a complete stretch.

 

[Dman8777]

ROFL this is a thread about a 650 hp Mustang and the last 4 pages are people arguing over the interior. Do you all not understand what a muscle car is?

Not sure what the problem is? People buy all the Z06 and ZR1 Vettes they make, and the interior is scarcely better than a Cobalt.

Someone buying a 500hp, 600hp Muscle car, performance car, or race car probably isn't going to nitpick that the dash is made of XX instead of XZ compound, or the seats aren't lined with Elton John's ass hairs.

Functional, comfortable, effective.

OK, so explain how it's worse than a BMW M3's interior.

 

[exdeath]

Ewww the M3 has the same interior as a 318i.

 

[KentState]

Ewww the M3 has the same interior as a 318i.

Except a base 3 series cost twice as much as a base Mustang and the interior clearly demonstrates the price difference.

 

[BlackTigers]

Its a 200mph, 650hp ford.

If you care that much about the interior...youre doing it wrong. The correct conversation should be about what kinds of cool shit you can add to the powerplant to make it faster.

 

[TehMac]

I don't know how you have time to nit pick interior when trying to keep the rear wheels straight.

On a related note..

No complaints about no IRS yet? I'm beyond shocked.

Just to clarify---you have an SVT Cobra right? Did you ditch the IRS or keep it?

 

[Throckmorton]

The base 3 series costs 50% more.

I still want to know what makes the interior of the 3 series better.

If those are the cars you are using for a comparison basis, then you don't understand what is being discussed here. The only car that has any relevance is the ZR1. The same ZR1 which is pretty universally criticized for its interior which isn't befitting of a $100k car and is quite similar to the interior of the base $45k version. So, if you want to claim that the Mustang's interior isn't that bad because to you it is comparable to the interior of another car which has a crap interior, ok. Though I don't really understand what point you've tried to prove with that.

Considering the current GT500 MSRP's for $49,500, I would not be surprised at all to see this new GT500 rubbing shoulders with the M3's base MSRP of $55,900. Didn't the GT500KR MSRP for something like $80,000 a few years ago? Even at $55,000, the GT500 will be 150% more expensive than a base Mustang while an M3 is only about 60% more than a base 328i.
