5 Sports Cars We’d Buy Over The 2022 Ford Mustang GT (5 We Wouldn’t)
Before Ford officially releases Next Generation Mustang, Probably called the S650, needs to analyze the current S550 Mustang. What makes it special, and where it is compared to other modern sports cars. So let’s talk about what the current Mustang offers: the base model Mustang is $ 28,600 and has a 2.3-liter in-line 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine with a turbocharger. Last Ford Focus RS, And while it’s actually very impressive at 310 hp, we’re all true fans of the Mustang GT, a true modern muscle car. The $ 39,000 GT has a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine under a hood suitable for 450 horsepower and can be used with a manual transmission to appeal to car guys around the world.Of course, if you have extra cash You can upgrade to Shelby Mustang at any time..
But let’s say the Mustang is so cliché that you want to grab the steering wheel of another sports car that’s a bit more unique than the average American pony car. There are endless options to choose from sports cars manufactured in Italy, Germany, and several American alternatives.Let’s see some 2022 sports car We will choose some that Mustang and GT dominate.
Ten Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (We don’t)
The Dodge Demon It was a big leap when it came to what road statutory vehicles could achieve at linear speeds, but today The devil sells well above the suggested retail priceTherefore, if you need to choose a direct rival to the Mustang GT, you have no choice but to challenger Hellcat.
It’s certainly more powerful than the Mustang with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, which spits out 717 horsepower and 656 pound-foot torque only on the rear wheels, but it comes at a price, to be exact-$ 67,000.For those who enjoy the quest for traction and wish to die, we It is advisable to pay extra fabric for HellcatBut from a purely objective point of view, Hellcat is not worth the extra cash.
9 Mercedes-AMG SL43 (we don’t)
After a considerable waiting period, Mercedes has finally announced that it will launch the new SL 43 in late 2022. It will not be equipped with a V8 biturbo engine and will not be equipped with a 6-cylinder engine. The SL 43 uses a turbocharged 4-banger suitable for 376hp and 354lb-ft torque, but an electric motor assists with the ICE to provide additional punch. So it’s pretty powerful, and it would look much more luxurious than Mustang, but why do we then buy Mustang over SL 43?
As you can see, apart from the lack of perfect V8 sound, buying a sports car from a well-known brand such as Mercedes comes at a price. At this point, Mercedes itself hasn’t confirmed the price of the SL 43, but the price of the SL 55 is about $ 135,000, so you can imagine it to be twice as expensive as the Mustang.
8 BMW Z4 M40i (we don’t)
Talk straight to the elephant in the room, BMW Z4 M40i and MK5 Toyota Supra are two completely different cars If you happen to be using the same engine and suspension setup, there will be no jokes or name calls. The BMW Supra has a rugged 3.0-liter twin-turbo in-line 6-cylinder under the hood, produces 382hp and 369lb-ft of torque, and is fairly fast as it takes less than 4 seconds from 0-60 hours.
But once again Z4 and SL43 are very similar, And both cost over $ 50,000. With that huge price difference between it and Mustang, we can’t completely justify spending all that extra cash for a little more luxury.
7 Jaguar F-type (we don’t)
The current Mustang GT Previous generation Jaguar F-typeAlthough this entry may have looked a bit different, the new F-Type has lost some of its passion through evolution and has significantly boosted MSRP. The new P450 F-Type is worth more than $ 70,000, and in return it also has a 5.0-liter V8 engine, but only British cats have a supercharger.
However, even with the supercharger, the jug produces only 444 hp. This is 6 ponies less than the Mustang. If you ask us, Mustang is not only stronger and more affordable, it also looks better. Credits must be granted if credit is required and between the two. F-type growl Certainly more intoxicating than Mustang’s moaning.
6 Lexus RC-F (we don’t)
Some cars have been on the market for too long Only minor updates like the Nissan GT-RHowever, the Lexus RC-F is now too old, and in 2022 hardcore Lexus fans are anxious for a successor.
The latest RC-F is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that outputs 472hp and 395lb-ft torque, and judging from the appearance on paper, it seems to be a Japanese rival comparable to the Mustang, but it is good. Has some flaws. The price of RC-F is a whopping $ 68,000, And it doesn’t even mention the Fuji Speedway version, which costs six digits northHowever, in the worst case, the RC-F is not offered in standard transmissions at all.
Five Nissan Z (we)
Now we are approaching the second half of the list. This is the car of choice over the Mustang GT. First of all, there is the most talked about sports car this year. And the only reason behind the existence of the 6-speed manual Toyota SupraNissan’s new Z.
It’s just called the Z, which encapsulates a 3.0-liter V6 with a gorgeous twin turbocharger that produces 400hp and 350lb-ft of torque all delivered to the rear wheels. The main features of the Z are its stunning retro design and, of course, the optional 6-speed stick shift, but most importantly, it’s only $ 41,000 and I think it’s worth a penny.
Four BMW M240i (we)
We understood that, we were busy bashing overpriced sports cars in the first half of this list, But BMW’s latest M240i It’s actually worth the money.
The new M240i is equipped with BMW’s rear-biased xDrive system, which handles a 3.0-liter in-line 6-cylinder 382 hp with a turbocharger without preventing the tail from sliding in corners as needed. Secure 0-60 hours in just 3.6 seconds. To do so. The price of this BMW is $ 50,000, but despite that price, it’s a good idea to save and buy one of these instead of the Mustang GT.
3 Chevrolet Corvette C8 (We)
The gearhead was stunned when Chevy revealed that the new Corvette’s engine would be placed in the center of the frame rather than under the hood, as in all previous iterations. But as time shows, the risk was worth it.. The suggested retail price for the new C8 Corvette is around $ 63,000, but dealers have marked these baby supercars, so be careful not to be scammed when you’re looking for them.
Why do we call this a baby supercar you might ask? Let’s throw away some stats. The 2022 Corvette mid-mounts a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that delivers 495hp and 470lb-ft torque only on the rear wheels. As a result, the C8’s 0-60 hours are less than 3 seconds and the top speed is almost 185mph.Just imagine How ridiculous the Z06 is..
2 Porsche 911 (we)
The 911 is by far the most expensive entry on the list, with a price just over $ 100,000 for the base model Carrera, but it’s still an amazing car worth spending all its money on. The base model Carrera is equipped with a 3.0-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine with a twin turbocharger, which produces 379hp and 371lb-ft of torque on the rear wheels. A 7-speed stick shift is also available for a small extra charge on the Carrera S..
Despite being the cheapest 911, it can reach 60mph from a stop in 4 seconds and will be forever special than any brutal American car like the Shelby GT500. And of course, if you happen to have more than $ 200,000 aside I recommend the 911 Turbo S without hesitation..
1 Alpine A110S (we)
And finally, there’s something in France that concludes the list built by Alpine, the A110S.This little beauty Reincarnation of a classic rally car made by Renault Its personality is similar to that Porsche CaymanBut it has a little extra enthusiasm for it.
The A110S weighs less than 2,500 pounds and is so light that not only does a sharp knife turn corners like a butter stick, but it does not require more power than a lawnmower due to its superior performance. Still, the A110’s 1.8-liter turbo 4 squeezes an overwhelming amount of power into such a small car-288 horsepower and 236 pound-foot torque. There may not be a fighting cry like the 5.0 Mustang, but it’s definitely charismatic enough to give the driver endless fun.
