Im sorry but this car looks like ****. I embrace the idea of a more aggressive looking Mustang but this is a step backwards from the S197's we already know. The rear looks like complete crap to top it off. Though I'll probably get used to the redesigned front end and its great they finally refined the over sized fender flares. 315hp....are you kidding me? 300hp out of the current GT was refreshing, but for a redesigned Mustang especially after starting the retro muscle car bs that everyone is copying 315hp is just insulting and embarrassing.

Does everyone forget that the new Camero and Challenger are two tons of fun?....literally.
Honestly though, Chevy and Dodge could only pump out 425hp from 6.1/6.2 liter engines...wow...reminds me of the GTO...
Ford: 4.6L 315hp
Chevy: 6.2L 422hp
Dodge: 6.1L 425hp
really...that's all they could get?
For those of you thinking of getting the top end camaro/challenger have fun driving from gas station to gas station.
I love the look of the new stang. So sue me!

Exactly. I love the way it looks, but where's the power!? This car really should have 400hp.. but unfortunately Ford just didn't do it.

GT500=$42k MSRP, I've seen them new on lots for under $40k
Base model GT=$27k 13.0-13.2 1/4(I hear depending on weight reduction)
Base model Z28=$31k estimated 1/4-12.9-13.1 (from hp/weight)
GT500=Can't find the exact time but I know it's mid 12's
Looks to me like Ford made the right move.
Edit: Do Z28's actually come with forged internals?

I know it won't convince anyone here with a GT to go and get the 2010 stang, but some people with early 6ers (05-06) might like the new styling and upgrade to a GT.
If a V6 Camaro wants to race me cause he's got a 300hp V6, I'll just remind him that he weights 500 lbs more than me with 15 less hp (he gets 300hp@6500rpm!!!). Then he can check out my sequential tail lights!

FYI the camaro gets better MPG than the GT does.

Im sick and tired of hearing people bring the GT500. Oh yes lets compare fords top of the line to Chevy's 4th best. Why dont you compare best to best. GT500 VS. ZR1! You are making an unfair comparison stating that. So please STF* with the GT500. Not to just pick on you but i have heard it multiple times and you were the first i saw.
