Hey babaoso, are we on a Hyundai fucking board? And I'll put that Focus ST against that POS Korean car anyday of the week!

i test drove a new kia optima sx, and it was fucking nice and peppy! also drove a gold gti and jetta gli, the kia was nicer, but the vws were quick!

It was a toss up when I bought my Miata. I really like the new Ford Focus they are coming out with but ultimately you can't beat the Miata for a fun driver. Plus they last foreva! Slapping on a SC this spring and it should be just right. My buddy bought his daughter a new Hyundia Veloster and it has been in the shop a lot.

i attempted to sit in a miata, got one leg in and that was that. if you are not a midget, a miata is not the car for you..

24k MSRP?

For a strippy, yep, in the first post it even says 24,995. Lol i got 4k off my 2012, they deal on them alot.

Nash, I think quote was right, it was just made by WG, and not Jordan.

Just pulled this together for anyone that might be curious.

2015 Mustang v6 ($23800) - 3526lbs \ 300hp = 11.76lbs per HP
2015 Mustang i4 ($25300) - 3524lbs \ 310HP = 11.37lbs per HP (auto trans is lighter)
2015 Mustang GT ($32300) - 3705lbs \ 435HP = 8.52lbs per HP

Id highly consider a ecoboost stang if they didnt sound like weed wackers, and you could actually buy one for 25K. I read they were pushing mid to high 30s? are options that high on the damn things?

I would only consider the EB'stang if it were a convertible. My personal opinion is that the 'vert is for cruising only and power means a lot less..

I saw a sticker on one for I want to say it was around $38 or close to $39. Fuck that! Of course, sticker and actual price you pay are 2 different stories.

For that much it would have had just about every single option available.

exactly, but they arent going to knock 15 grand off the damn thing to make it affordable... id rather have a gti for 25k and call it a day. lol its as fast or faster too and doesnt sound like a leaf blower.

What's a base 15 GT cost?

I am curious what you can get a GTI at after rebates.

I know you could get base 14 GT's for $27 after rebates which will eventually happen to the new body style (close to). THe EB stang will be even less than the GT. If that's within a few thousand of the GTI after it's rebates then I would say the GT or EB is a better deal.

The new GTI is definitely a great performer. What does it do stock? I know you mentioned tuned but any car can be tuned for increase in performance. Just trying to get educated... not trying to insinuate anything.

they arent burners for sure, I would bet the ecoboost could beat it in a straight line, but in every other category the GTI and GLI are leaps and bounds better!

If VW still made the Rabbit, it truly could be leaps and bounds better.
