angryBits - NICE CAR! I drive my Roush daily. I am glad to see others using the car for what it's for, driving. If I wanted to take up space in my garage, I put furiture in there..lol
Your Denver problem was forest fires. Someone wasn't listening to Smoky. There are 3 areas in Colorado, Colorado Springs, Denver and Boulder where over 30k have been evacuated.
Lastly, tell Chris Chase to write some better articles..hahaha

THAT is my problem. I've got a very big decision looming when I get ready for that much car. You see, even though I drive a GT/CS, I've always had a goal of owning a Viper. The '13 Shelby has me drooling, but enough to pass up the dream car? Decisions, Decisions...

[ABOVE] WTF? I thought this car was supposed to be rare-ish? These cars have only been out a month and yet I run into an exact duplicate in po-dunk Arizona? We were both in such shock that we felt the universe would punish us if we didn't heed it's obvious message to photograph the two cars together. His car was about the same age, he was also on a road trip from Minnesota and he had about 2400 miles on his vs my 2700. He had the black stripes but didn't want them, I didn't have them but wanted them hahaha. Both of us had a 2011 Mustang GT as a previous car -- CRAZY! He didn't have the SVT or Track packages though. It should be noted that while these two cars were parked next to eachother, a tear in space-time began to open leaving a portal to an unknown destination. It is also noteworthy that the exact same thing seems to happen every time I park next to a Prius.
Went to San Diego this past weekend to visit family and friends and didn't see hardly any Mustang or Camaros. AZ has loads of New ones and previous gens so I'm not surprised you ran into another one here... I didn't watch the flats video but how much room did you have left when you hit 180 mph? I think the fastest anyone has gotten the car up to was 198 or 197 something. It was Motortrend testing the 200 mph mark. According to Ford you need a straightaway that's something like 3 to 4 miles long to hit that mark. Motortrend was only using a 2 mile straightaway.
