Straight line racing is for people who dont know how to drive.

As for mustangs the new model with all updates and v8 is a pretty decent cars but lets be honest, older models before the new 5.0 were rubbish

Haha LOL ^^ You said it, not me!! LMAO

(But I couldn't agree with you more)

I have never been fond of Mustangs, however I am objective and honest when evaluating a cars (any cars) performance. (its part of what I do for a living haha).
With that said I do like this new 5.0 stang more than I thought I would especially comparing it to previous years (junk). Is this car in the top of its class IMO, NO. But it is a step in the right direction, finally.

However for me at least It seems to be the stereotypical, ignorance-arrogance of a majority of Mustang owners (I call it the "Mustang mentality") and all the nostalgic and constant over-hype of the car for all these years that turns me off to them.
