Not a fan of hatch backs.

 

sounds wild but they don't give a torque #

 

Bill, I have seen two new Jag F's -- the tin top versions -- over the past month. I was blown away by the car in British Racing Green. The owner said it was the first hardtop model bought in Michigan. He also has a Jag D-Type, one of the really expensive repos done in the UK. Then a couple weeks later I saw the car in White. I did not like it. The bright white against all the dark black windows, etc. made it look like a kit car IMHO. My car buddy felt the same way about both colors.

 

Driving impressions and road tests of the new Mustang are trickling in. It seems the driving dynamics are better than anything expected from a pony car. The only road test I have seen is of the 4 cylinder turbo and that was with the automatic. I'm waiting to read a test of the 435hp GT.

 

Motor Trend tested the 2015 Mustang GT against the Camaro SS, both with their respective "performace packages." The Camaro won the comparisson:

^ Wow, Camaro kicked butt in almost everything that really matters. Just a wee-bit more than my '68. Both car's were just under $50k with the packages! Toss in tax and it's over.

 

I think my next daily driver will be is this!

 

I hope not, Dave!!

I still think the Mustang and Camaro are just too big............this from the woman who drives and SUV, but that's supposed to be big.

 

Not everyone is putting the Camaro over the Tang's. Here's BS Levy's take after track test driving both.

"I was less than totally impressed with the hot new, 505-horsepower Camaro Z-28. Oh, it's bigtime fast, make no mistake about it. And it's got one hell of a good chassis (borrowed from beneath one of GM Australia's Holdens, which also supplied the underpinnings for the sorely under-appreciated 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO). But the Z-28's seating position is way down deep in the car (with no seat-height adjuster I could find) and the door sills and dash are way high and the A-pillar it thick. So its like you're peering out of a blessed cave when you're behind the wheel. Which doesn't make the sight-lines too great going around Autobahn's corners. And there's a tinny, cheap feel to some of the controls (at least on this early-production model) like the fore-aft seat adjuster and the steering-wheel height adjuster....
But it sure does GO!
More comfortable (at least to my ass) and more sympatico and unruffled on-track were the two new hot-model Mustangs on hand. Although the Chevy is probably faster against the clock."
