Nice car.
But I’ll be with my Challenger for at least a few more years.
Made some changes to the exhaust system to add another 50ish in HP
Thing is LOUD.
I should grow up!!!
If that has a 5.7 with the eco-crap?
Take the eco-crap off the computer or there is a good chance you’ll bend a rod. Did it in my Chrysler 300. Lucky I had a power train warranty.
Now, why would y’wann’a do THAT ?
My first new car was a Bullitt Mustang I bought in early Sept. of ‘68 when I was 23 and had no money......incredible story.
My roommate totalled my ‘66 Mustang in the spring of ‘68 and my insurance company made a big mistake and gave me way too much money. A friend of my Dad’s was a used car dealer, I asked him to get me something that could carry 6. He took my money & delivered my an almost new ‘67 Buick Wildcat convertible loaded with everything, including a 454 cu.”, 8 mpg engine......not a car a 23 yr. old wants to be seen in.
Hated it, in early Sept. drove past Ford dealer and in the center of the showroom floor was the Bullitt. I knew the Buick was worth a lot, low mileage, like new. I asked if they would trade me even. They drove my car and said they needed my car and $300. I didn’t have $300, so I walked away.
1st lesson I learned about buying cars: walk away! Sales guy came running after me, “If you can wait 3 days, we’ll take your car and $100.00!” I didn’t have $100 either, but figured for this hot beautiful Mustang fastback in dark metallic green (”Highland Green”), I could come up with the $100. I said, “Ok, but I can’t wait 4 days as I start a new job the next state over and have to be there in 5 days......why the difference?”
Sales guy told me for every ‘68 they still had in their inventory on Sept. 5th, Ford would give them $200.
So I got my Bullitt Mustang and drove it in the ground, putting 100k miles on it in 3 years. And with “planned obsolescence” back then, that’s all you’d get out of a car before it needed everything replaced and engine rebuilt. Passed it on to a friend who then moved to Richmond, VA and it was junked there about 1973.
Loved that car........not sure, but think sticker was around $2,895....????

Before I bought my Challenger (sold several years ago) I test drove a Mustang. There was no comparison. The Mustang had no room and rode like a tank. The Challenger was roomy and had old school driving and riding characteristics. I loved that car.
“I should grow up!!!”
Fuq that.

And dying to me don’t sound like all that much fun”...John Cougar
