great review! there's a reason why you see mustangs everywhere, affordable price and fast!

Vegitto-kun · 08-15-2010, 08:23 AM

I would kill to own one or just test drive one.

damn ford for not selling it in belgium.

Vegitto-kun · 08-15-2010, 09:54 AM

Yeah and post evidence.

I wonder what is the normal time for the Z?

m4a1mustang · 08-15-2010, 09:54 AM

Low 13s with a good driver. I think the best magazine time is a 13.1 with the 7AT.

Yeah, he should be able to go solidly into the 12s and trap 110+. He just needs to get a solid launch is all.

And if I know one thing about Matt, it's that he's not really good at getting things started.

Vegitto-kun · 08-15-2010, 10:17 AM

Haha yeah.

power is awesome unless you cant put it down.

The pink window tint is my favorite part. You know how Mercedes use that blue tint that makes everything outside look bluer and fresher and makes you feel like, "hot damn, I'm driving a Benz -- life is great!"... This is just like that expcept pink.

I bet that would sell like hotcakes in Japan.

Once again, here we go again comparing Muscle Cars to Sport Cars...

m4a1mustang · 08-16-2010, 08:08 AM

I don't really view it that way at all, because the Mustang aftermarket is so huge you can really take the car wherever you want... street, strip, or track... it's endless. A little suspension work and you will turn the GT into an uncompromised corner carver.

I'm curious, wonder if theres any penis envy amongst the 4.6L owners about the 5.0, kinda like the 350Z owners about the 370, you hear anything like that M4A1?

There always is a little bit, but I can tell you it's absolutely NOTHING like the 350/370 hate. There's a much tighter sense of community across the different Mustang models.
