We could get spanked by a Taurus.
Here you go....Ford has officially made a mockery of Mustangs.

Yes, it is the SHO model but the first time we pull up to a stop light and are worried if that Taurus is going to curb-stomp us...crap! I need to buy a freaking Supercharger now to be able to keep up with soccermoms!?!

The six-speed transmission offers a wide array of gears to enable spirited acceleration, yet comfortable high-speed cruising, through a 2.77 to 1 final drive ratio.
2.77 gears? ? even with all that power you wont be able to feel it at take off..maybe some *** to seat but wouldnt scream thru 1st and 2nd like us
EDIT: a shorter 3.16 to 1 final drive ratio for faster ....sports package say what?

I have to admit it's an impressive vehicle, but I just don't see a market for it. You don't buy a luxury sedan for performance. Also, have there been many twin turbo factory applications? I can see it putting down upwards of 600 horses with those turbos.

supra, BMW 335, Skyline, all great cars. Only way that is going to put down 600 to the ground, is a bullet proof motor and massive amounts of boost.

Yall are idiots.
You do know the Mustang is scheduled to get a 5.0 DOHC V8 with 400hp in 2011 right?
Fords just ensuring that theyll have the capital to make some cool Hi-po stuff. Perfect example is GM and Dodge. They spent all their money on Corvettes, Camaros, Challengers and Chargers but they all had to get a bailout. The new Taurus, Fusion hybrid and Fiesta will sell well and be even better than most of the offerings from Japan.
Thats how you make money and thats how you funnel money into SVT. XD
