Sorry to hear you got a bad taste in your mouth for Nissan because of your Z. The 5.0 is a sick car and I considered it but I just cant get over the fact that it still has a live rear. The car would probably handle so much better with a Independent rear, why wont they switch??? Whatever congrats on the new car.

five point OH!! really can't fault the switch, if i was in the game for a muscle car i'd have purchased the mustang too. with that said, if i wanted a muscle car, screw new cars, i'll go old school and rebuild something.

either that, or screw the mustang, i'll buy myself a ford fiesta !

Yea good idea. I have heard that it has better handling than a Murcielago.

...."wait... what was that? This just in folks. It turns out that a smaller turning radius does not, in fact, mean the car has better handling. Looks like we need to re-engineer our 15k Lambo-Killer"

But "fiesta" means party. "Murcielago" is some foreign word. "Mustang" means horse. I think out of the three, I'd like to party the most.

"Z" is the 26th letter of the alphabet.

3820/550 = 6.95 Lbs per HP....simply horrible.

Why not? Dodge has George Washington driving a crappy overweight Challenger into battle during the revolution. It's only logical that the next one has Patton driving the new Charger into Messina.

Wow! Where have you been for the last year? The 2011 Mustang is not your father's Mustang. It's not only the best handling Mustang GT ever, especially with the Brembo package, but the new 5.0 is one of the most sophisticated production motors out there.
