Agreed. The diehard Mustang fans ignore the most obvious point....that 99.9% of your driving isn't "racing" but is simply going from point A to point B.

I don't care how fast a Mustang will go in a straight line....that isn't the point because unless you are planning to take it to a dragstrip that does you absolutely no good whatsoever. The real world involves corners, and I would much rather have an Audi for my daily commute than a Ford. Hands down - no question whatsoever.

They are merely two different classes of cars. If the only measurement of automobiles was horsepower or straight line acceleration, everyone would own a car with a supercharged V8, but this is the real world where 'performance' is so much more. The fact is, as much as anyone here has bragged up their mustangs, I could spend half that much on a Sportbike from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, or Ducatti and beat it not only in the 1/4, but 0-60, 0-100, 100-0, skidpad, road coarse, cornering, handling....you name it. So if someone is really concerned with how fast they can go and that is their only goal - then they better ditch the car for the bike. Otherwise, their comparison is flawed.

In any case, I would much rather have something that can seatfour adults comfortably and something that has four doors. For anyone who has kids or a family, a two door Mustang makes absolutely no sense, and besides impressing your PBR drinking NASCAR buddies they really aren't very practical. In a perfect world maybe we all would have 10 car garages so we could have such a car simply for Sunday drives, but for a daily driver the Mustang simply doesn't hold up against most other cars on the market today, and anyone with a non-biased non-blue oval love affair, could see that.

The ironic thing is we have people trolling Audi forums just to bash Audis and brag about Mustangs. That should tell you something about the character and intelligence of some of these Mustang fans right there.

 

You guys are hopeless. im not saying that audi is trash, im trying to tell u that it two different cars build for different purpose. And i do admit that a6 is a better daily driver, however as far as a performance car, for drag, or street or highway mustang is better. Its not a best handling car in the world and it does have a traction and oversteer problem but i never see anyone on the street offer me to race on the twisties. Well i knew 2 guys one with evoIX and another with built up civic Si that were all about twisties.....both of them totaled there cars on a twiestie road. Im not big fan of street racing anymore, however i like to play around on the highways every now and then and on the highway my cobra was handling well enough at 140-150 mph with stock suspension. however closer to 160 it feels more and more like a big boat. $300 H&R race springs will cure that.
And its ok to post that u raced some one and beat him but dont **** all over the other car just because it goes faster. And if u consider ur beeng batter at the road track, well next time u see a cobra reving next to u, just dont race him on the straight adn ofer him to follow u to a local road track.

And if u race with people in the back, or even better, your kids.....im sorry you are just playing retarded. I dont whant to go faster then a 100 with my wife in pasenger sit with the helmet and a 5 point harnes around her.


Bikes are different things, however there are cobras out there that racing bikes....and leave them behind. U can get a bike if u want too..... but think about this: if in a car u get in an acident, chances are- u going to WALK away from it..... if u get in an acident in a bike, chances are- u going to be bared in a closed casket.

 

lmao thats probably the ugliest dash set up ive ever seen, all of the interior arguments are stupid, you have plastic dashes also, atleast cobras have suede seats

 

We mock what we cannot afford.

Go away troll-boy. Find a NASCAR forum to play in.

 

what i cant afford lol, i could trade my car strait up for probalby two of these grocery getters, not that id ever do that since i dont make many trips to publix or kroger

 

I openly stated the cars are built for different purposes.....so why am I 'hopeless'? As far as I'm concerned, the only hopeless people here are the ones who go on to an Audi forum and try to pretend a Mustang is the best car on the planet. Opinions vary, but this isn't the place for bragging about a Mustang, and in the scope of things.....Mustangs are NOT performance cars.

All the racing arguments are moot - because we aren't condoning street racing (this isn't aCivic forum), and drag racing is about as fun to watch as women's basketball. Thanks, but no thanks - I would much rather watch a rally race or IRL any day of the week.

My point about the bike was merely to show how childish, and shallow-minded some people are being by stating how superior the Mustang is simply because it has gobs of power in a straight line. You give me a built bike next to a built Mustang any day of the week and I can promise you the bike will pull away in a drag race.....and do it for less money. Stock to stock - it wouldn't even be a chore. In all the years I have been riding I only had one car that ever came close to matching my acceleration on a stock bike and that was from an obviously modified Vette, however even he wasn't able to match me.

The bottom line is this.....yes they are two different cars, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. I don't have a problem with someone pointing that out, but what I do have a problem with is people who come on to a AUDI A6 DISCUSSION BOARD and start bashing Audis. That is nothing short of trolling......and it is pathetic.

 

Man, how hard is this concept to understand...

Ford's Mustang is a coupe with rear wheel drive and differentvariants which make it either

1.) A slow car for high school kids
2.) A decent car for a college kid
3.) A weekend hobby car
4.) A straight line disaster on wheels

Audi's in general offer many variants such as

1.) The slow and steady reliableV6 30v
2.) The quick enough 2.7t
3.) The powerful V84.2
4.) And then the RS class cars

Mustangs are in no way shape or form performance cars. Performance cars never have to say "only highway or drag racing." That's call a street rod. Mustangs can be MADE INTO street rods. That's cool if that's what you're into. Safety will always be a concern for you when you're driving a car with 500+ bhp on the street. That's up to you.

Audis are luxury cars with the ADDED BENEFIT of speed. This means the Audi can go fast if it needs to, but will also keep you out of a ditch should it happen to start raining on that highway you mustang drivers are always talking about.

Ford'sare incomparable to Audi's. It's seriously like comparing getting a ******* to having sex. it's all about what you prefer to be doing at the time...

I personally prefer my 6 way heatedpower leather seats, 6 disc CD changer, in dash CD player, Bose sound system, all wheel drive, and all that other good stuff the Audi name stands for.

If I ever decide that I want to go in a straight line at insane speeds and take my life into my hands, I'll buy a Mustang and crank it up to 800 whatever horses with some crazy engine set up.

BTW.... that AntiV6 guy is a tool. He obviously has no real clue about how much the Audis we are talking about cost or are capable of either. At least we admit the mustang can have crazy speed and power. But a tuned RS4 or RS6 is just plain scary as well. Hell the S4 is like.... the killer Audi is every sense of the word. I've been in the crazy mustangs with the 550bhp V8 rocker engine sticking out fo the hood. I know how scary that sh*t is launching at a red light. Just not for me.

 

Comparing this...


to an Audi interior? Yeah that's a Cobra SVT interior, generic at best.

With that said and shown you're a retard, go to a dealership and sit in anykind of Audi with any option package and you will see how lame the Mustang interior is.

How can every auto review site and every owner of an Audi be wrong, the interior and amenities are top notch, classed as being luxurious and sporty.

You are clearly a tolling idiot with no life. You don't own an Audi and you troll an Audi site to bash, get a life, you probably don't even own a decent car.

I'm at work for the number one developer of aviation in the world with a beautiful Audi in the humunguous parking lot waiting for me to get home.

What the hell are you doing? Being a troll. Sad.

Holla!

 

They don't call em 'rust'angs for no reason....ah cr@p now I'm getting into this stupid thread.

 

It is not just"us" saying that Audi interior are top notch. Every single Audi review or comparo with an Audi in it will say how Audis interiors are the best in the industry, most use the word "benchmark".. there is a reason why everyone says the same thing... even the magazines or TV shows that are pro BMW will agree to that! There's just no denying it. Now the colors of a specific interior or material choice of a customer are a mattr of taste. I don't particularly likethe combo in the pic above but it is the bext material, fit and finish you'll find... well I am excluding some of those super fancy hand made interiors in>150k cars
