Goodbye lancer :( hello sinful American Pleasure :D
Well, after 2 years of enjoying my 2009 lancer GTS, My urge for something more powerful finally got to me after I read this article
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html
So I went to my local Ford dealer to give this new 305hp beast a test drive.
First impression was...
WOW
After about 5 minutes behind the wheel on the Dealers test track I was sold.
But i started to get concerned when I started to think about my trade in. i still owed 13.8k.... they offered me 13.5k for my 2009 gts 5sp, w/ ss pkg, aftermarket nav and 19000 miles.
Talk about a low ball offer!!!!! My hopes were smashed!!!!
Long story short after 2 hours of bartering I was able to get them to give my 15.6k !!!!!!! not bad.
Add 1k manufacture rebate and ford x-plan pricing through my employer and i now own this. A 2011 Mustang V6 with a 6 SPD manual!
Had to test it with my g-timer
Sorry Bout the bad quality Pic from my cell phone.
Not that I didn't like my Lancer, I just wanted something more powerful. Didn't want to run the risk of blowing an engine slapping a turbo on it. Ralliart's are to expensive In my opinion. And there is no way I can afford an EVO. Mazda Speed 3 was Also in my price range but i couldn't stand the new styling.
I also no longer have to constantly fix chips on the rear door jam and rear side skirts. yay!!
Never owned a RWD car before, WOOT for fun winters, lol.
