The more I look at the 2010 stang the more I like it...that ass end still really hasn't grew on me though. Ive been comparing pricing on build your camaro/mustang, and every time the stang comes up about 5K less thats and I usually get more accessories on the stang. Either way your getting great american muscle for a good price. I dont know what the stang is running on the dyno, but Im sure that 5K is more than enough cash to have the stang at 378 rwhp. Id rather have a Camaro, but they both have their pro's and con's...the stangs being stock horsepower. (which can easily be solved) no need in going back and forth about what car is better.

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.
very nice i agree !

Ps one thing I forgot to add, took the car out on a twisty road that ive taken many an RX-8... and boy the body roll was there. Id suggest buying this car ONLY if it has the Track package. Totally worth it.

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."

The nice thing about new model years, if you like the '09s with the rectangular taillights and flared fenders, you can get one on the cheap right now. If you like the '10 with the rounded fenders and euro rear, you now have that as a choice.

Being totally honest, you are ten steps behind in knowledge.

You get more bang for the buck on a mustang with the amazing interior and awesome exterior and under the hood styling. It packs a smaller engine but with the price different (even with the loaded version) put a super charger on it. Oh, and find me a maro super charger that can put out over 700 horses.

Bang for buck is subjective. I still believe that the 1SS is a better bang for the buck.

Also, I'm pretty positive that if you have the money, you can get a supercharger that will net you that amount of power. To say that you cannot on the camaro yet is being unreasonable. The car has not been out long enough to justify such claims.... this new Mustang has been out for like forever, and I'll be honest, I'm getting tired of seeing them (too damn many of them out here).
