So my buddy picked up a 2011 GT base with 3.73 and brembos and all i can say is WOW. Ford has really come a long way since my 2003 GT. The car is fast as heck, rides nice and smooth but firm and seems so much more well put together than my GT was. I think it will be hard decision when I am back in the market for a toy, I still like the looks of the 03/04 Cobra but this GT is a seriously nice car.

The new Mustangs are significantly better in just about every way. The interior for one is night and day compared to a new edge. They are roomier, utilize better materials, quieter, more comfortable, have more gizmos, and overall just better. One day, I'll step up to one of the new stangs. I couldn't afford a new one right now, but perhaps once the 2014 Mustang drops I will be able to!

I echo your comments. It is such a great car all around. Kind of hard to find any faults, unlike the '03-'04 Cobra and other New Edge Mustangs. But.....there is something unique about the Terminator that just makes you cast a blind eye to any of those faults. As you well know. :thumbsup:

To be fair, if it was an auto he test drove it might have felt sluggish. The dealers also only use crap 87 octane which does not help either.

I rode in one, seemed pretty decent. I'm waiting to line up with one from a stop light ;-)

Take your SRT8 to SAR and line up down there. I know of a couple of 11 sec. 2011's that frequent there. ;)

oh yea compared to that lightning fast genesis you own :bored:

Yea, I haven't owned 4 Mustangs one being a 10 second car or anything.

Don't make ASSumptions, slick.

FYI, the "lightning fast" Genesis traps 110. :uh oh:

Thanks for playing.

The one I drove was auto so maybe that was the problem. :dw:

I'd still buy one to DD, but not to own. I'd have to lease b/c I get bored fast w/my toys. However, they do not lease well. I was quoted around $700 a month. LOL!

Riding in it, it was deceptively fast. You can't see the speedo, it's a smooth car and I was constantly asking my buddy how fast we were going every time he let off. I was very surprised by the answer every time i heard the mph.
