:iagree:

Torque is where it's at. 1000 RPM in 4th gear? No problemo! :icon18:

If you would have picked up the Boss, I would have said: HI FIVE!! FREAKIN SICK!!!


Instead, I will say: Cool Stang!

Either way, go kick some Camaro's butts!

The Brembo brake Mustangs stop quicker than the Z. Braking power is insane on this car. Handling is actually pretty close to the Z. The Z feels a lot softer than the Mustang and has much more understeer. The Mustang has a MUCH better balance but is not as precise or direct as the Z.

Basically, both cars achieve nearly identical results in handling and braking. They just go about it a little differently.
Stop making me want to go to america and import one myself. :roflpuke2:

Though I for some reason would rather have a camaro

Maybe if Ford never brought the 5.0 out the Camaro would be a nice choice, but never in a million years is it a better choice anymore.
The Mustang beats it 99/100 times, and with the Boss we see it still has room to grow.

We'll see where I'm at next year. My current plan is to pick up a 370Z Roadster next year to go alongside my Mustang, but that could all change. :icon17:

The Boss is going to be an absolute world-beater, there's no doubt about that.

I like the styling of the challenger, but it is such a huge boat (bigger than the Camaro) that it makes me sad.

It's enormous! 4200 lbs. It would be pretty sweet if it didn't share the 300/charger platform and lost 500 lbs. :tup:

Or if it had the viper engine to help push it's fat ***.

And some anti-gravity device to help it turn and stop. :tup:

so I test drove a 5.0 yesterday, and other than the TQ(AWESOME!), i was not impressed or blown away as other have been gasing it up to be. I will say this is the first respectable pony car since the ol school era. but it did not feel so much OMGness faster than my Z, infact at highway speeds it felt the same, and it def felt slower than my C6. I still say that motor trend glorious stock run of 12.7 was inflated bologna, especially after driving it.

There have been a few owners running those times with 3.73s stock.

Most guys with CAI + Tune and exhaust are running low 12s.
