That's why all this talk about the new 5.0 engine in the Mustang needs to be curtailed or restrained!
Getting all excited about horsepower could leave you frustrated with your uncomfortable car. Like some Camaro owners are!

Concentrate on the more important things, like fit and finish, handling, safety and mpg. Those real world issues aren't as sexy as fast 1/4 mile times, but if all you want is a 12 second drag race, buy a used Mustang for $7,000 and build it up, saving you about $25,000!
That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't want a luxuriously soft heavy street car. I'll DD a mut and weekend a taut light monster devoid of creature comforts. Long live the 'notchback...
