Great to see that Ford is making improvements. Surely brought on by their competition from the Camaro. Even still, it's a little late.
I'd hate to be one of the people who bought the 2010 mustang with the new body, only to find out they have a new, more powerful engine for probably about the same price only one year later!

You thought the V6 mustang which is 400lbs lighter than your Camaro felt heavy?

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."
