I'm really impressed with the performance of the new mustang. Even though physical changes are EXTREMELY subtle, it does look better than previous years. BUT...
I know this much... the stangs increased performance is only shown on the track. Take that POS live axle on the road and take a turn too hard and you are all over the place. God forbid its raining, that's pretty much a suicide mission with every block you drive.
Generally the stang is annoying cuz its just everywhere. That style has been in production 6 years. They sold around 100,000 a year. Between the 93-04 models and the 05-up models mustangs are utterly annoying.. I give them props for being the only sports car to stay around aside from the vette. But, I just could be part of the eternal sea of cheesy looking mustangs on the highway.
I'm sure the performance is top notch though and on track day u r sure to have loads of fun. I just hope the op has a real car for the streets. Cuz the stang outside of a track or well paved highway road sucks.

the live axle in the current 'stangs is actually really well set up. It handles bumpy roads, etc perfectly fine. The downsides of a live axle are totally overblown.

Granted, in the past they were worse, but still... people seriously overestimate the downsides...

I don't know where you're getting that because I certainly don't feel like I'm all over the place with the live axle. I drive over bumpy *** roads and honestly it feels no worse than the Z did. This thing does NOT drive like my '03 and not even anything like the '05-09s for that matter.

And I just drove it home tonight in some torrential downpours and it was just fine. Again, no worse than the Z.

The reason the back of the mustang is not as good looking as the rest of the car is because the ford designers didn't want to do any favors for people like him who will certainly be looking from that angle when on the road with one.

...What once was is no longer. No worse than my Z or my C6 Corvette before it. Myths die hard (especially on car forums....

Look, skidpad tests, slalom tests, and even actual track results mean nothing compared to a fanboi that has identified a difference between his product and yours, better or worse!

Thats EXACTLY what I was thinking.

It'll always be the same people who have no actual comprehension of cars. I believe the term is, "wannabe's".
