Suffolk Mustangs
Discussion
Hi, I was just curious if the owners of 2 Mustangs were on here.
I have just moved to Bures Nr Sudbury and see these 2 a bit
I have always loved Mustangs and was looking at getting one a year ago but opted for a Monaro (yeh yeh, Ford Vs Holden rivals and all that). Anyway both Mustangs are 06-08 shape and black.
1. the first one I think lives in the village. Not seen it recently but saw it a few times in the summer.
2. the second I see in the mornings, about 7.45 heading thru Sudbury, sometimes on it's way out of the town on the colcheter road.
It could be the same car, but i never can remember the plates.
Both cars look lovely and make me think 'maybe i should of got one of those'.

The other man's grass is always greener. The Monaro is a very good car, carrying a little too much weight, but it handles well. The interior is more generic GM than the Mustang's more styled retro interior which I prefer in Premium form but maybe not basic deluxe plastic form. I jumped ship from a Z28. The Mustang goes and handles well and its looks are its strong suit. I like the Monaro but it does look like a big Vauxhall - which can be good or bad depending on your likes and dislikes.
The Mustang has kept its price better but then the Monaro is RHD so suffers the RHD depreciation curve. I haven't driven a Monaro but have been punted in a 2000 HSV. Overall, I think the GM cars have a touch more character to the engines and the Z28 was one of my all-time favourite cars to own as a daily driver.
I cerainly wouldn't say no to a VXR500.

No, neither of the are me but on the Monaro or Mustang point and folloing up on Lusifer's comments I had a 95 Z28 followed by a Monaro (CV8 not VXR) replaced by a Roush Mustang. The Monaro was a fantastic car and handled brilliantly - it was also supremely comfortable.....but despite the 5.7 V8 it lacked the character of the Z28. The Mustang (with the Roush suspension) handles every bit as well as the Monaro but for me brings back the character of the Z28. Would it have been different if I had had the VXR with a decent exhaust? Maybe but the Monaro felt distinctly less agile and if I recall carried a weight penalty over the stang.....horses for courses I guess but I did loose a shed load on the Monaro
