I too, know folks who track their mustangs and they say that a whole bunch can be done even with the live rear end. Most say the same thing which is a mustang can be made to handle very well. All in all, I think the competiton is good both for the Z and the mustang. Being old, I remember my '66 mustang fondly but a 2011 with the 5.0 at safe low boost to about 500 hp for around 40 grand is not a bad thought.....

I assume the new 2011 GT with 412 hp will not jump much in price over the current GT (base price currently around 32K). The Z is the handling king for the money, the mustang will be the power king for the money next year.

I like this Mustang. I've never been slightly interested in the Mustang..except the Roushe, of course. But I'm really diggin the center exhaust. What everyone needs to remember is times are changing..as will the cars. And thats actually not a bad look considering the flow of the rear bumper. I'm still all Z tho

Bullshitted again....8 years ago I had a 76(?) Mustang Cobra...my man was rebuilding the engine and exterior...had it fully chromed out under the hood but gave up cuz it was costing too much to rebuiild. Gave it up for $8k

Wish I still had it, that thing sounded like a BEAST! Rattled my house windows and all.

I've liked mustangs in the past, but just haven't been into them since about 94.

That car is DISGUSTING (as in ugly). I wouldnt pay for that if I were rich.

Wow.. I was hoping the Shelby 350 would rock. It sucks..... big time sucks. Like one of the other posters stated, for that money, I would take a M3 or pony up for a GT-R....

Chupacabra · 01-27-2010, 11:07 AM

you cannot just say the car sucks, if

a) you have not owned one

b) you have not driven it

I agree that 60k is insane for a mustang, but with out driving one, who is to say it not some new formula from Ford and it actually is an M3 competitor? (I know I laughed at that last part my self)

I don't mind the car, the rear end could sue some work, its the fake hood scoop that kills me. little details.

i would rather have this GT350 than a M3 for the reason that there are simply too many M3 where i live.

i am pretty sure there are more 3-series bmw here than mustangs, even the base model. they are everywhere. i go out in the company's parking lot and there are at least 10 of them.
