1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Compared to what I have featured on here earlier, this is an actual Shelby GT350 provided by Ford, and it is very, very nice. I really like the GT350 although I'd rather opt for the classic GT500 because the GT500 is lighter and more powerful. Also, the Shelby GT350 nameplate will be revived for the high-performance variant of the new Mustang. The new 2015 Mustang will hit showrooms this Fall while the upcoming Shelby GT350 will make its debut very soon.

2014 Ford Mustang

During the time I went to the L.A. Auto Show back in November, Ford had not yet revealed the new 2015 Mustang, so they had to make do with the outgoing 2014 model. The base 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 from the 2014 model will carry over to the new 2015 model. These are still on dealer lots as of now, but demand for the 2014 model has decreased due to the 2015 model's unveiling. The second one in this set is from the upcoming "Need For Speed" movie that will hit the big screen next month. I have always been a fan of the Mustang. It is one of the best and most iconic American cars. As they say, "Dissing the 'Stang is dissing 'Merica." I don't know if all of you will agree with that statement though. All the Mustangs in this post look very nice, so it would be difficult for me to choose a favorite here.

Porsche Boxster/Cayman (2013-/2014-)

The Porsche Boxster/Cayman is Porsche's entry-level sports car that slots below the 911 in terms of power and size. The base Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six producing 275 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque; the Cayman S has a 3.4-liter flat-six with 325 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Boxster and Boxster S have similar performance figures as its hardtop variant, but it isn't as fast. Also, the Boxster/Cayman is mid-engine, RWD, and has a six-speed manual. The base Cayman can go from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds, while the Cayman S will reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The Boxster/S has similar acceleration times, only slightly higher than that of the Cayman. The Cayman has a starting price of $52,600, while the Cayman S starts at $63,800. The Boxster has a lower starting price than the Cayman. The Porsche Boxster/Cayman is a decent car, but the 911 will always be a better car because it is more powerful, more iconic, and arguably looks better. I saw the white Boxster on New Year's Day while the black Boxster was in the Bay Area early last month. The silver Cayman below was seen at a dealer in Fremont last week.
