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.

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."

The Stang sits A LOT lower than the Camaro. I saw a number once which showed the height of both cars, and It said the camaro was smaller.

Im not seeing it. When you stand next to BOTH cars (as I have done 3 times in the last month) you come away thinking the Camaro is a bigger car in almost every aspect. It feels bigger behind the wheel, everything on/in the car is larger as if its truck-like, and the hood is massive. Nothing wrong with that, except because the mustang sits lower it makes the wheels look nicer imo.

Ha- infact, the gunmetal mustang we saw yesterday was nicknamed 'the porpoise' by my girlfriend, as it was the right color, and because of the new lines had a very porpoise like shape.

ehhhhh...

Call me crazy but im not flashy enough to roll in that ride. Plus I dont think I could handle that red interior every time I got in the car... The Flashiest I will go is some grabber blue w/ black stripes.



But my all time favorite mustang, (which should tell you alot about how I like things simple and efficient) is the Bullet in Bullet Green....

Little off topic but your refferance to God reminded me, Are you going to see Angels and Demons?



Ps. how much power is that foose pushing?

Good Logic


GT with 11k in upgrades > GT500.



ESP. after the 5.0L comes out.

Your not being sarcastic are you lol!! I totally see it that way, the GT500 is a steal and the other too because of there names charge a premium for no reason other than that! Besides like you said for 11K you can make your GT destroy them all
