looks beautiful... thats the only new Mustang I would buy (if I had the money) since the GT kinda sucks lol

*notice they hardly show the back end, since they know they screwed up haha, but the GT500 back end doesnt look too bad

I would even overlook Ford's terrible quality and purchase the car even thoguh the thing will be a rust bucket under the car in about 6 months like my bro and friends Stangs!

I have to tell you if Chevy doesn't step up to the plate and bring us a Z28, they can kiss sales goodbye to anyone that was hoping for one. Because, as long as Ford still has that car in production, and Chevy has no answer, Camaro fans will be disssapointed in every asspect. Especially at the drag strip!
Terrible quality? Get out from under the rock you've been living under and move into the 21st century. As recently as this past summer/fall, Ford was the most-awarded company on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, beating even Toyota, in the quality of its cars.

I've owned 6 Fords since 2002 (2000 Lightning, 2003 Mach 1, 2005 Mustang GT, 2001 Lightning, 2005 F150 FX4 and my current 2007 GT500) and I've not had any major quality issues with any of them. Out of all of them, the only one that had to go back to the dealer for any work was the GT500 for a passenger-side airbag recall issue.

I have over 18K miles on the GT500 now and drive it 60 miles, round-trip, almost every day to work and back in all weather conditions. I've not had any problems with the car at all despite putting down over 260 more rwhp that the car came with for 12 of those 18k miles.

I had my 2006 GTO for 18 months, and in that time, I had to take it in for two major issues (strut rub and paint defects) and four other times for minor issues (broken driver side seat track, squeaking/handing clutch pedal, a/c sounded like a jack-hammer when engaged and bubbles on the steering wheel). From everything I learned when I owned the car, these were common issues. Do I know owners of GM products that have had zero issues with their cars, sure. I think its the way it goes with all manufacturers even,*gasp*, imports.

I take no unbrage from people who do not like Ford as a brand but, as hard as it might be for some people to be objective, you have to give credit where credit is due. One day I hope that people will wake up and realize that running down someone else's ride of choice does not make their choice look better. I think it is more likely that Israel and Palestine will-exist peacefully before that ever happens, but I can still dream.

I always hated Mustangs, and so does my family, but it'll be nice to have something good-looking in my rear-view mirror.

Here is the way I see it. I am sure allot will not agree and thats fine with me

The GT500 is a beautiful car no Doubt. I am not a mustang fan, but I do respect them and there heritage just as any true Mustang fan would the Camaros heritage.

Do I think Ford has the end all and be all of the Pony cars? NO not even a chance. 540HP is great, but if you cant put it down to the pavement you are pissing in the wind. Further more I can only assume that it will cost 50K. The car that I have on order is slightly over 35K. As we all know it has 422 HP. So lets say with the 15K I saved I put a blower on it, like the shelby has. Lets be on the Conservative side and say it would give me a 40% gain/ That is 590 HP. I still have 8K left over for my new rims, drag radials, exhaust, tune and dyno runs. When you put it in perspective I really dont think it is anything for us to worry about.

Again you will never here me Mustang Bashing....Why because it is a RWD American made car, the Mustang has just as strong as a heritage as the Camaro does. We have to respect that. IF you dont you need a history lesson on why the Camaro was built in the first place.

Plus if need be we can reach into the arsenal of Vettes, Z06, ZR1

Give me the difference between what I have in in my 1965 Mustang Fastback (~$15k) and a 2SS and I'll return the favor. Once you veer from stock, anything is possible. It then becomes a simple matter of who has the most time and/or money. Let's not go down that road again for the 1-billionth time.
