“ with a three speed with high/low “ Sooo, is it a 6 speed or is it a 2 speed?

On a positive note, it’s fun to say “Hellcat”. Hellcat, hellcat, hellcat.

Came here to say the same....leaving satisfied. +1

So what was up with Will Buxton gabbing away during the moment of silence for Bianchi? That was some seriously awkward television.

This. +1

Oh, man, I stand corrected. I just thought I was original and funny, then I see gems like this one:

Nah man, the Syclone was a whole new angle. That joke was avant garde and you know it.

GM really started the “GM truck out-Ferrari’s a Ferrari” thing with the Syclone. I think they overdid it this time.

This is as good a place as any to vent this—-it’s been building up for a while. How does “What’s my Car Worth” feature someone as knowledgeable as Keith Martin alongside this little chode, Josh? Is Josh the producer’s son? Is he Keith’s son-in-law? Is he blackmailing someone? SERIOUSLY, WTF? He doesn’t know jackschitt…

Some decisions seem smart at the time, but dumb with the benefit of hindsight. With all due respect, that one seems like it was dumb at the time also.

Ok, I’ll give you that they probably won’t be worth any less a year from now, and maybe a little more, but that’s baseless speculation to say “WAY MORE”. The car market has (finally) shown some signs of slowing down just in the last 60 days or so, and with the end of QE and interest rates slated to rise this fall, a…

Congrats, you don’t understand the rules of effective traffic flow.

Congrats, you’re the primary cause of congestion and road rage.

Neither, butt-face. Now why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?

Eh, not really. From 1987 to 2015 the cumulative rate of inflation was 109.3%. In 1987, the middle quintile income was approximately $25k....in 2015, it was $52k....a cumulative rate of 108%. There’s almost no quintile that makes less in 2015 than they did in 1987.

True, but in the late 80’s, the banks would generally laugh at you for loan terms longer than 48 months (vs the “84 month—sure, no problem!” mentality now—sigh), and rates were usually 10% or higher. So in terms of monthly payments, there isn’t even a huge delta between the late 80’s and now.

I hear you, and as a German car fan who probably never will own a Mustang (unless it’s the GT350R—-drool), I get it. So we’re talking Perception vs Reality. The reality is the GT can do everything the S5 can do (unless it’s in snow), probably more reliably, with a slight tradeoff in dealer experience and interior fit…

That’s true, but then the question is “what’s a fair comparison”? I’d say a 335is/M4, or S5 would be closer to the size/capability/purpose of the Mustang GT, and in that light it’s still a screaming bargain.

And I’m saying spiked = caught up with Inflation. There’s a reason that car prices stayed artificially low for so many years and it was the decontenting debacle that happened in the late 90’s. Everyone was in a race to the bottom.
