[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 14612311, member: 121775"] Having owned my GT500 for over 4 years and most of that being with 600+WHP, I can tell you that I'm, quite frankly, tired of having to baby the throttle all the time around town. Anything over 1/4 or 1/3 throttle (depending on road conditions) and it spins. I'm looking forward to having a V8 that I can wind out to get that aural delight that only a high-revving V8 can deliver. It'll be nice to be able to wind out more than just 1st and 2nd gear before having to shut it down on the street. I don't get why people are so hell-bent on ruining the GT350 by trying to setup its power delivery (and suspension) for driving in a straight line for a few seconds. The Ecoboost and GT ([i]and[/i] the V6) are more than capable of meeting whatever demand drag racers want. Why try to ruin the GT350? All this talk of how much boost it will take, etc. is just nuts. This is not the Mustang of the old days. The GT350 is being built to be a true [i][b]driving[/b][/i] Mustang, not a quarter horse. Aside from some tinted windows and maybe exhaust for an even sweeter sound, I can't imagine a thing I'd want to change about it. (Based on what little we know of it for now.) Well, if the magnaride suspension is optional, I'd probably opt not to get it just for the sake of keeping my aftermarket suspension options open. I still don't believe magnaride is the pinnacle of handling performance. If I can get a well sorted out traditional suspension without the weight of magnaride, I'm all in. [/QUOTE]
