My last 4 cars have been Mustangs. The 4.6 3-valve 300 HP motor is very good for everyday street use. For 2010 the GT motor is 315 HP - big deal. My 2002 Z06 and my last 2 Mustangs have shown me that there is a BIG difference between 300 HP and 400 HP on the street. Somewhere around 400 HP traction becomes the biggest issue. And, drag radials are not practical for everyday use. For "Fun-To-Drive", I want 400 HP not 300 HP. That means, for me, a Mustang GT needs a supercharger to be competitive. I'm going Camaro for 2010.
