Ok-

So today, we're bored as $hit. Sitting around. Decide we could go down to the Ford Dealer and take a look at some new Mustangs.

Ended up driving the 2010 GT 5-Speed they have on Lot.

Exterior - B+ ... I didnt quite dig the gunmetal . Id go black or Grabber Blue.

Interior - A-.... Nice Interior. Huge improvement. However it took 4 people to figure out how to work Ford's new lighting computer.

Performance- B. The car I drove had the 3.73 Gears, and It felt not all too much different from the 09's despite it being a claimed half second faster.

Now here is a point of concern- Not only are there NO 2010 MUSTANGS that come with the Track Package because of 'limited Availibility', at least not yet, but The dealer checked over 900 dealerships and not one had a track package car, nor had they ordered a car with the package.

Overall I was impressed with how much nicer the car has gotten, however the performance left more to be desired in the form of both the Track Pack, as well as the 5.0L engine.

PS the Car sounds amazing.

Then comes a sub-5.0-second sled ride to 60 mph. A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
