The rumors are still in flux on this car but it looks like it's happening!
What do you guys know about this car? Is anyone confident that it will live up to the Barracuda nameplate?
Is anyone considering buying one based on what they know?
I'm excited about it....I picked up a 2011 Mustang GT with the 5.0 Coyote motor and I absolutely love it. It's almost exactly the same size as my Dart Sport (though a little bit taller and quite a bit heavier). It handles amazingly (mine has the uprated brakes and suspension tuning) and pulls like a freight train right up to 7,000 RPM. It feels like a 12 second car...which it supposedly is (though I have yet to take mine to the strip)
The biggest problem with the car is that I'm not really a Mustang guy. One of the fun parts about owning an enthusiast car is identifying with the brand...and the Mustang falls short here for me. Sadly, the Challenger is WAY too big (and 500 lbs heavier than the Mustang) so it wasn't an appealing option eventhough it looks great... and I didn't really even look at the Camaro since it's also a landwhale.
I'd consider trading in the Mustang if the Barracuda shapes up to be worthy of the name.
What do you guys think?
