Oh yeah! Even though it's almost double crank HP and huge torque gains, the new GT is actually very tame. I was expecting it to get real squirrely and beastly, but I guess I drive like a grandma. Except when I'm about to merge onto the freeway... it suddenly wakesupandwRRORORRRAWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSS!! Then I'm at 80mph until I peel my face off the back window. Other than that, my tuned V6 felt like it gave me better throttle response early on in the power band, but this one really lets the claws out when the pedal meets metal.

As long as I park in the garage, I can simply dust it off on the weekends. Couldn't say the same about my old 05.

GRATS! We are nearly twins! something I did, to add a bit of subtle style, and something only mustang owners would notice, was the CS rear defuser. it was like $150. its genuine ford, and went on in about an hour. 1st mod. and its sexy. i know you'd appreciate it. i'll add a pic in a sec for you.

Very nice upgrade, dont waste your money on the boss intake, the only gain seen by reputable tuner show minimal gain of a very few hp in the 7k range and over versus a bigger loss in torque in lower rpm, and these engine are also know. For having a weak low end torque, upgrade your gear or get a tune at least(you ll need one anyway if you would go with the boss intake) you will feel a difference this way, enjoy the
