I have run a few 05-09 GT's on the highway, won by multiple bus lengths each time.
The '13-'14 cars are the best looking by far IMO, and judging by the random compliments I get people seem to agree.

From the "some of each > either one" dep't.:

When they revised the beltline for 2010 to better mimic the original Mustang they should have stopped revising the rear of the car at that. Minor details like sequential turn signals and how the reverse lights are placed within the taillamp assembly don't need wholesale revision of the rear panel to work.

Another hundred HP over what my 4.6 puts out would be nice on occasion . . . say when I'm out on a road course and the straights are long enough to use it all. But it's not worth having to deal with AdvanceTrac all of the time in order to have power that you only get to use once in a while.

Neither range of years comes with a wide enough wheel & tire package, and as far as I am concerned, the later cars' OE use of staggered wheel and tire sizes in some trims is a step in the wrong direction.

If anything, the 4.6L cars have more need for a 6-speed manual transmission than the later 5.0's.

I would love the 6 speed. However, I already tattoo'd the 5 speed shift pattern on my right palm so I suppose I'll stay with the 5 speed.
