My uncle's ford escort. After 15 years the rust made it VERY exotic! Sounded gruesome too... Grin

I used to have a 1988 Ford escort, could not call it exotic though. My escort was the biggest piece of junk I have ever driven. (I only paid $125 for it so I got what I payed for) it was my first car, it was a 4 spd straight drive. Then I got a 1995 Fod Contour, Now I got a 2003 Ford Ranger, 5 spd.

Don't mean to bust your bubble, but the new Shelby Mustang is not excactly a Shelby, and not excactly a Mustang. It has an SVT engine Shocked

, and its souped up so much, there are hardly any parts that are made by Ford.

Not to mention, I posted this topic back in April I think it was. Tongue

Do I need one? Nah. Do I want one. You bet cher bottom dollar I do. lol Cheesy

No. The most exotic Mustang ever was that silver one that had no grille, in like '98. can't quite remember what it was called.

I don't neccessarily agree with that Craig. It is true that "exotic" better fits the European Super Cars but I think that exotic isn't a bad way of describing the new Ford GT. Other than that, I pretty much agree with you.

American performance cars kind of go for that "bad ass" approach rather than "exotic." And of course, why drive a Mustang when you can drive a Camaro anyway. Wink

Well for one a camaro is a chevy thats why You drive a mustang & not a camaro. NEwayz if we were talking about chevy sports cars, The camero is just a waste of energy, A corvette is worth talking about. NEwayz Ford has always built better looking cars than chevy. ex. each & every ford truck has it's own style & chevy trucks are just all a copy, all chevy trucks has the same style grill as the S10. Ford truck grill's are different in every aspect of detail. Chevy has never found a sence of individuality in there design's when they build any vehicle.

A Camaro's not a waste of energy-they are a lot better than 'vettes. A Camaro is a muscle car that is ment to be driven and a Corvette is for old folks.

Also, you should keep in mind that the only reason the Mustand ever became a performance car is because of the Camaro. Before the Camaro's debut the Mustang really wasn't a performance car-the only way they were fast was when they were modified by Carol Shelby after production. The Camaro was a performance car and to keep from being outsold, the Mustang had to be one as well.

I have driven Camaro's, Corvettes and Mustangs and I would perfer a Camaro over all of them. Thats probably why I have owned 4 Camaro's during my life and no Mustangs (and no Corvettes).

Although, I do really like the new Mustangs.

They're aren't bad. I don't really like the newest one based on its looks and I haven't driven it. But, I do like the looks of the previous generation. They don't handle like a Porshe (I assume, I've never driven a Porshe) but they are most likely faster. But, they are too expensive for my pocketbook and really aren't my kind of car.

I do like the classic one's a lot more though. Especially the '58, '67, and '69.

Always a good place to compair times.
Chevrolet Corvette - 1.26.8
Porsche 911 Carrera S - 1.28.9 (very wet)
They say to take 3 to 4 seconds for wet laps, so they are pretty much simmilar in times. The porsche is faster in a straight line drag race over 1/4 mile rom what i remember.
