And things get better next year with a spreadbore aluminum block which lowers weight and further improves balance. Whats more, there will be more suspension improvements for 2011 to accompany the new engine.
It looks like Ford has adopted the age-old, and too long forgotten, American principal of making the Mustang better every year. To be blunt, this is likely not a strategy GM is currently going to be able to counter effectively, they just don't have the money.
