2011 Mustang GT... I think I need to re-think my next car

LiquidZ

Hahahaha. I thought your coworkers were comparing the current interior to the image of the Fox's interior in your post.

I agree, the 60's era styling is an obvious influence on the current style. However, I don't see any similarities between the Fox's and the current.

The problem with mustangs is that they seem to be swarming like gnats around here this time of year. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one.

We're talking Magazine numbers. The average driver will not run a 12.8.

Please don't overlook the fact that the test vehicle had the 3.73 gear option, which helps with low end power delivery which as we all know helps a lot in the quarter mile. Without that option I don't think this test car would have run lower than 13 seconds.

Someone here already said it, there will ALWAYS be a more powerful/faster car. It took me three cars to realize that before I decided on a car I just truly love; the history of it, the exterior styling, the interior styling, the potential of the aftermarket, the presence of it, and the driving characteristics of it. That car is the 370Z. I love it and I think I am good!

That said, the new Stang is stunning! Love the return of the 302!!!! I used to be a Stang man and ALWAYS still pull for them. I cannot wait to see this thing on the race tracks and their owners doing teenage like burnouts!!

*And this new Stang (stock) still will not be faster than my old 02 Stang with the Kenne Bell Supercharger putting down 562 HP and 602 Pound feet on the dyno!! My old man has that beast now....

the 5.0 is sick...but the car is so played out that its undesirable for me..heck even the 725+ hp super snake lost to the Z's older brother..the 485hp GT-R in the 1/4 mile

The Shelby's are a joke, and that's coming from somebody who loves Mustangs.

Yeah, I'm not seeing the humor in the GT500.

Having owned an S197 GT, I followed that car and all of its variants religiously. Maybe its a matter of personal preference. Saying I know nothing though, please...

Following a single car as opposed to actually owning, driving and configuring my several ones as well as a dozen other Mustang Club owners' cars over the course of four years are two different things. So yes I think I can say what I said with all the confidence in the world.

You want to say its a "personal preference" matter then I can buy that but that doesn't provide any creedance to call the car a "joke".

What was the reason the S-Snake lost.....was it just because the snake couldn't hook up? If that was the reason then I wouldn't claim that as a win that would consistently happen if thenake ran the right tire configuration.

Mustangs are nausiatingly, overbearingly common. I wouldn't use the word exclusive for the 370z just because its a generational changeover. If the silvia came back from its 12 year death? That would have exclusivity to it. The camaro should be an exclusive car but in 11 months GM has been able to sell enough that I see 3 or 4 a day in dfw. Horrible!!! I was in a mustang @ the dallas auto show and honestly. There isn't one thing about the interior of a mustang I like. Even with the 2010 refresh its outdated. That glass roof... its like puttin' a diamond ring on a fat-ugly chic. Nice ring but she still fat and ugly.
One other thing... don't get too impressed with that .94g. Its not gonna happen in real world driving. The mustang will only see those numbers on a track or a brand new near perfect highway. On the street, the live axle loses traction everywhere. I love how car mags decieve people to keep outdated musclecar tech vibrant and selling.
At least in the Z you know its lateral acceleration was designed also for street use, unlike the mustang. So in summary, a street race against the stang? The stang will lose due to its cheap (track bias) live axle. If u r stuck on v8 power? Get a used vette. all that needs is a upgraded suspension set up for better cornering and you are straight with a corvette.
Muscle cars are the #1 sports cars because of false patriotic pride, not better overal performance. If u plan on driving in a str8 line for the rest of your life? Then buy a mustang. In the end though. The choice is yours.

There are not enough facepalm emoticons to describe the failure I have just read.
