30k budget ......

[Bodyboarder81]

Ford Mustang GT.

Prices are starting to fall to under 30k now, Im thinking about one as my next car

Have you driven one ?

I test drive one when they first came out .... they were about 33k new ( have gone up now for a new omen )

They’d have to come down quite a bit more before I would  be tempted .. the interior is absolutely shocking quality! Big heavy and the engines not as strong as the numbers quoted .

What geo settings are you using on the GTi? Quite a lot of camber from what I recall however do you have any toe out, especially at rear? Whilst you will never get power oversteer, the car can be made more agile with some toe out / stiffer rear arb or damping / stickier tyres on front v rear. Small nudges but useful all the same.

Dialled the camber back to 1.9 on the front ... have to check the sheet on the other settings . Don’t get me wrong the gti is so so capable and would embarrass a lot of stuff on the road .... maybe I should just take the S2k out in the wet and get it out of my system with a few slides ect !

I'd change it for a W204 C63 AMG, E46 M3 or E39 M5 just great feeling cars

That’s crazy .... I always look at the evo fleet section ... often cars bought at 70k are worth 50k 9 months later ! Who can afford that depreciation! I guess nobody actually owns them though ..... just looking  at the monthly rate ! Worlds gone mad

What we need is negative depreciation. I sold my example of this for @£8k almost 20 years ago. If it’s any consolation, I found it fairly underwhelming.

TTRS - only have to breathe on it to get to 400 bhp, and it will appreciate in value (only 800)

Forget what your wife thinks and get what you want

Therefore it has to be a Cayman 😀

Yes I love them ! But I’d only want the 981 s / gts .... and they are 40-50 k . I’d have to sell the s2k and just can’t / don’t want to do that !

Hoping to get the s2000 out a bit over the weekend , as it looks nice and get my fix of a real drivers car again !

Really ? Only 800 ttrs built /in the uk ? Seem very good value as well .... probably will appreciate in about 20 years time .

I intend changing my Pirelli in a years time for a 718 Cayman S when prices have softened a bit and there is more choice on the used market. If you can get over the sound of them , they are simply stunning machines
