Drove the the 2010 Mustang GT

[G37Sam]

And all I can say is, I'm glad I don't own one.

Exterior
Don't get me wrong, when my friend showed up under my building to surprise me with it, I was pretty amazed. I love how its been refined with more attention paid to detail. It looks much meaner now. The vents at the bottom of the bumper give it such an aggressive stance too! Even the OEM wheels look so much better than the 12" looking ones on the previous gen Stang!

Interior
Why does it have to fail so bad? As good as I felt about the exterior the moment I stepped foot into the car I was thinking, did I just get into a different car? Why does it have to seem like someone just rushed his way through designing the interior? The buttons feel so cheap and just don't flow. No Navigation or even just a display screen (not sure if American Spec is different). I did spot a back up camera on his trunk but check out where that displays, on the damn rear view mirror in a 1" screen! Seems like they forgot about the dashboard too, looks no different from the previous gen Stangs (no wait a second, you can actually change the gauge/background colors now)! The black leather seats are nice though, stitched up in white, looked pretty decent I have to say. They also threw a back seat in there, probably only because they didn't know what else to put there. Not so sure "fitting human beings" was part of the design criteria of that back seat though.

Impressions behind the steering wheel
Even though still at 250 miles, my friend gave me green light to floor that thing. Traffic signal went green and so did the stang, because that was a money launch right there! Very nice kick back into the seat off the line making my G37 feel so sluggish. It didn't feel that much faster than the G from a roll though. And that V8 growl, oh my! Who needs porn when you have such a deep tone like that, I just couldn't get over it. Even with the slightest throttle feathering it keeps reminding you, you're in one beasty V8. I pulled over into the first bus stand because I had to change my pants.

Handling
I think this is where they decided to minimize cost. As sporty as it sounded and looked (from the outside at least), it handled like my mom's minivan. The body roll is insane; took a right off the main road a little too fast and that thing felt like a roller coaster ride! A little more throttle and I definitely would've been all over the place. Another thing I hated was it's lack of road feel. It just doesn't feel like a sports car, it feels like a normal car that happens to be fast that's all.

Conclusion
I really loved the car, I just know for a fact that I'd never buy it. Driving that stang made me appreciate the G even more and realize how much of an amazing sports car it is!
