I'm soo not the American car type, but I'm seriously thinking of trading in my 07 Sport for the 2011 Mustang GT. Ridiculosly cheap for that amount of HP. And by all accounts the car drives like a beast. Going to setup a test drive sometime next week.

 

get an M3

 

Are u referring to a E46? Because the price between a E92 M3 and a 11 Mustang GT has a huge gap lol!! Yet the GT out performs the M

But i say go for it, best bang for the buck definitely. I hear their already running 10's with simple mods.

 

2011 Mustang GT FTMFW make sure and get the BREMBO brakes

 

well, you can always get a GTR and out perform everyone. hahaha

I was looking at those car when i had a full time job but i saw myself quitting so i got the next best thing G35

 

Seriously, the M3 and GTR are tens of thousands more than a 30-40k Mustang GT. I'm pretty sure the OP would consider those if they were even close to the Mustangs price. LOL!

 

You can get a decently equipped GT for 30K! At Least a buddy of mine did.

 

You can always buy a used GTR lol

thats the cheapest i could find

 

I test drove the 5.0 a couple months back and it's now on my short list when it comes time for a new ride. The 412hp V8 is a beast, sounds awesome and has neck-snapping torque, it'll definitely dust our Gs. It also handles remarkably well w/ tight steering and very good feedback to the driver. For anyone that thinks this car is just a straight line bullet, you REALLY need to take this bad boy for a drive. The Boss 302 w/ 444hp really looks like the hot ticket, I think they're about $42k so w/ good negotiation skills it might be in the 37-38k range. The interior isn't up to the Gs, but the leathers' better

 

I test drove a '11 5.0 with a 6spd and its a nice car. Doesnt feel that quick even tho numbers say otherwise. Interior is smaller and the quality is about half of ours. But check out truecar.com and you will see that you can get a 5.0 for about 4-5k off sticker with incentives and good negotiating skills its a good bargain.

OP if you don't mind NOT driving a new car, check out a used Corvette. My dad bought an 09 Atomic Orange 3LT Vette coupe 6spd with 11k on it for 39grand.

I'll tell you right now, that car is a rocket. Especially after we added headers, exhaust, intake, and a custom tune. Thing flys.
