Whatever on the above review, just providing it for reference.

I don't know what you can pick this car up for $$$$ wise, lightly used, but this thing is fucking FIERCE.

1. It's a set of Hoosiers away from being an 11 second car. The 460hp Coyote is an ANIMAL.
2. Exhaust note is awesome from idle to redline. No need for BROLA here, Ferd gives it to you.
3. Body roll is non existent, flat handling. Good times.......just hammer the gas and let it rip.
4. Ass coolers! Base seats were perfectly acceptable, beats the hell out of the shitty C5/C6 "seats"
5. Decent infotainment.
6. Nicely weighted steering.

I didn't feel it was too "big".........and frankly the exhaust note made me not care how big it was.

I would DD the fuck out of this thing, and you know what.............I just might.
Drive a chally and slowmaro first. 392 wide body challys are just fucking tits ...

I would of course check these cars. From the exterior the wb Challenger is the king of all muscle cars. But man you need a merchant marine license to drive that thing.

We have a rental Moostang convertible on our Fl vacay right now. Liking the changes from the last time I drove one (2018?). Five liter would be legit.

The exhaust is awesome. Every new valet dood was asking about it.

I believe it. The camullet was awesome with the V8 and 10 speed. Do want. I’d love to check out a moostang. Wonder if a rear facing baby seat could fit in the back.

Sounds like the same spec that I had a couple weeks ago. Obnoxiously downshifting at stoplights was addictive.

Unless I intended on tracking one, I don’t know why I’d need that kinda powah.

:neat:

Thanks for writing! I would be really curious to hear more about how it compares to the Corvette. Obviously it's a better daily with no scrape, back seat, new/nicer car. Did you try any twisty roads you've done in the 'vette to compare? Fuel economy in the real world similar?

Vette would eat this thing up in the twisties.........but it also has moar low, big ass Pilot SS's, etc. etc. Still, the Mustang handled FLAT.......but this was not a PP mustang, no Brebros etc, still braked fine. Mustang is infinitely more comfortable, has ass coolers, is EZ to drive with 10 speed auto, and sounds fantastic. Far better DD. And no scrape.

It's a :truk: to me (albeit a :jalapenis: one) .

I still haven't driven a JL to compare, but have driven a few JK/JKU. Now that I'm renting cars more for work, a JLU should be fairly attainable.

Cool.
The :scrooge: -iest place to grab a quick cheap meal is literally a hot dog stand called Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur. They're really cheap and :drool: . They're made from lamb and have a few different :sawce: s to try. There's a couple in town but the original one is down near the harbor, not far from the concert hall. President Clinton ate there, among other famous people. They're really good, and at about $4-$5 are about as cheap a meal as you'll find there.

Give me a couple days and I'll post up a few more places. I'll be out of the office tomorrow so I'll try to remember to do it Thursday.

In Florida. Lisa’s parents rented a brand new Rav4. More thoughts later but so far it’s huge and comfy, rides great, quiet, and great fuel mileage.

It beeps a lot. For dumb shit. Like placing a phone on the middle center seat and not buckling it in.

It feels surprisingly cheap. Like low quality cheap. I didn’t get that feeling in the Santa Fe. But I should probably drive one.

Also black cloth can eat it. Way too damn hot.

I suppose so... Toyota has never tried to "premium" it's mass offerings. They tend to be quite durable, splooge on the cloth seat and wipe off and move on. That's what it has been meant to do.
