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 !  :signLOL:

Try this for depreciation - www.bigmotoringworld.co.uk/used/cars/bmw/m5/m5-14591

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)

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 !

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
