You guys are just being rude in an other wise civil discussion between , mustang guys, camaro guys and even 370z guys. So if you can add to the discussion in a good light go post in another thread!
How was I bashing? I said I liked the car just not the back end.

Uhhh..I hate to be the one to point it out to you, but all of the S197 Mustangs have a panhard bar. Heck, these's even a picture of the thing earlier in the thread.

How the hell do you think you get that kind of mileage?

Yes because it is a handling package.

I'll assume you mean 2010 GT not GT500. If so, then, yes, I had a chance to take one out for a drive a couple of weeks ago. It was a track-pack optioned car, too. I thought the interior was a step up from what I had in my 2005 GT and even in my 2007 GT500. It seemed like a much quieter car that the previous models, too.

As for performance, that's really hard for me to comment on. When you drive a 650+rwhp car every day, almost anything you drive is going to seem lethargic in comparison. However, I will say the car seemed to have a little more grunt running through the gears than I remember my 2005 having. I'd say the overall handling was better than my GT500 was stock and leaps and bounds better than the 2005 GT.

Uh oh, I better watch out or the next thing he'll be telling us is that there is no way a 3.73 geared, 650+rwhp GT500 can get 22-23mpg on the highway @ 70mph. I mean, it's only rated by the EPA at 20mpg stock, right?

what?





last one is from a forum member on the mustang forums with 4.10's on the highway. Mines are also backed up with a calculator. next time do some research you might not look as bad. what did you say about the 4.6 3v being a garbage engine/weak and horribly inneficient?


checkmate.
