2) From the pics I've seen it looks like a GT500 front end?
4) Get one and keep the mustang. That's what I want to do once the s197 is paid for.

4. Challenger R/T (flame suit on)

Challenger SRT or R/T (2009) = bad *** ride.

Remember the after market parts are going to be limited for the newer body style for a while.

It took a couple of years for company's to catch on to the s197 revolution.

still... they are adding small touches that significantly improve the next model tho...

the steering wheel is a little cooler and feels like it's made better...and it's got audio controls....
seats are upgraded, and so is the interior trim....

basically...it's gonna be a more luxurious and powerful S197

Someone at Ford deserves a punch in the face for putting the mufflers at the rear where they "spit" their sound out. What a lame design.

You do realize that those "great sounding" Mustangs from the past that everyone likes so much like the 390 GT's, 428 CJ's and such all had the factory mufflers located at the rear of the car? They were transverse mufflers and located directly in front of the gas tank.

My 4.6 GT sounds better than my 67 stock mufflered 390 GT.

I just like the 4.6L 2v sound. I keep killing myself by listening to the clips on youtube.

Can a Mustang ever sound this good and scary again?
Sounds like a Tiger growling before the attack.
