The prospect looks pretty good, I think. Performance-wise, the Mustang is the best "new muscle" there is. Lots of support = turbo will be ridiculous

And I'd still rather a Challenger

Oh, and cardio I was googling for news clips on whatever other upgrades you threw out there. No dice yet, son. How about you do us a favor and find the article, since you're apparently much more capable than a simpleton like me.

Why? Because you like slow and fat things? Is that why you only get pillows, because they are slow and usually fat....

Over all, it’s a great bang for the buck as is but it has a lot more potential. This can be said about many cars.

More real estate for the money = good, right?

Make sure it has goods brakes, hate for you to be thrashing it one day and cannot slow down and make sure you buy the newer model. It has an oil cooler for those long sessions of riding it fast.

LSD fantastic...(lol good one Dreamer )

But this one makes me cranky. Zero issues with the car...drive like a little girl...Okay genius, explain the logic of this one.

Better yet, post a picture of your car. And a Carfax while you're at it. If it doesn't have dents or a rebuilt engine, you aren't driving fast enough. Contrary to popular belief, 88 mph is NOT enough anymore.
