I'm sure you will enjoy actually having nice power and torque. Gotta love the rumble of a big V8. I know I do

Acouple of reasons I chose the mustang over the 370z,g37,Evo. 1)more power for the money, 412hp for $27k before ttl, 2)I can use regular unleaded 3)I get around 26-27mpg on my 100 mile trips that I take 3 to 4 times a week. (I couldn't get more then 23 on my G, with the same conditions) 4)the Base model GT that I got is much more comfy and the car is much more roomier then the all the ones I compared to. And I'm on a 5 yr term so for the next 5 yrs I don't really care what my resale value is

His new 5.0 Mustang has 412 horsepower from the factory. Don't think he's going to have too many problems racing Gs

Too bad you're not nearby. With that 'American cars suck' attitude I'd be happy to show you my tail lights...

Thanks for all the guys who aren't hating. My plans are to of course add a exhaust first then a some audio components, then add the boss 302 front fascia and some lemans stripes and lower the car. Then I'll get new wheels,intake and tune next summer.

Mustang was in the rut until these new models and about the "best resale value" that's some bull cause my aunt just got a 2009 4.6L convertible low mileage for $18999.....my 2006 G is estimated by KBB $19400 good condition. Mustangs, chargers, magnums, crysler 300, ford Taurus ect depreciate more than most cars out there....

Ok I see what the problem is.... I would have never considered ford until the new GT. You guys have look at it as if was a totally brand new car model. I still would not have bought a new mustang without this new refresh and engine. And as far as ford goes, I wouldn't even look at any other vehicles they offer besides the new f150

In my opinion it's 3x times better and what luxury features are missing on the 31k mustang that are on the 37k g37 journey??? I could buy the prem. Mustang, paint and wheel protection, extended bumper to bumper 5yr-100k mile warranty and add the GPS,glass roof options and I would still save money

People still think this is the same Mustang from 10 years ago, when this one laps just as fast as a M3...

What's wrong with the Stangs from 26 years ago? Oh sorry...you said 10. I love taking money from people trying to race me with foreign cars.



I know this thread is old....just couldn't resist.
