Interesting. I imagine the backlash amongst GM and Mopar guys will mimic the results of C+D's GT vs GTO comparo back in 04. I guess being consistant and well rounded will work well for the 2010 GT, even before it gets baptized by 5.0 goodness.

That is so outstanding! I just wish Ford hadn’t laid the ugly stick on it so hard though.

that 2010 mustang is sexy they seem to cut the fat off of it

hmm... motor trend thinks that the camaro is better (by a hair) but its great for the "original" pony car to win one.

I don't think it's ugly at all. After having driven one in Cali for a few weeks I was even more impressed with it than my 30 minute drives at the dealer.

I don't think the new rear is as bad as some say. Some people are just resistant to change...

This car is really starting the grow on me and it all started with the interior. Can't wait to get mine! I don't care if the 5.0 coyote never makes it to production the 4.6 is is a proven performer.

A good read. I enjoyed it, and am really excited that the Track Pack seems to do so much, and that it is only a $1500 option. The tires alone are worth almost that much. The rims are a $700 option, and the 3.73 gears are like $500ish separate, so $1500 is a nice nice deal. I can't wait for reviews with the 5.0 on top of all this!
My one complaint, or should I say confusion, is that they praised the interior of the Camaro. The mags that gave the Camaro the nod over the Mustang all had nothing but negativity for the interior, and I agree with that. I thought for sure that Car and Driver would harp on it, but they said it was clever, and inventive...whatever. At least the Mustang, even though it is not complete without the 5.0, won one.
Can't WAIT for the reviews of the 5.0, though! And the SHO, but that is a whole different animal, though the ecoboost MIGHT make its way into the Mustang as well.

If it beat out the other cars with the old 4.6L, just imagine what it's going to do with the new 5.0L. It's going to be tough to keep the 5.0 out of my future plans.

i thought the $495 was a darn good deal for the 3.73 rear axle package all by it's self. Try getting all that comes with it for that cost seperately!!
