Since so many people were disappointed with the slight power upgrade for the 2010 Mustang GT, does the new GT500 fix that problem? Read about the 2010 GT500 specs here.

i dont think it really makes up for anything. When you talk about general out look of the mustang you are for surely not talking about the 500 cause you don't see many. Whether your street racing or at the track you see the GT's. Thats how the mustang is represented.

They know they can have a beast with a couple of Grands spent under the hood.
So I don't think it's a problem...

The main thing is that the GT is intended to be an affordable ride.
The Cobra, not really.
It sits well with some folks, not so much with some other.
Not everyone ever gonna always be happy...

Overall I think you can just say that compared to the challenger or new camaro, its sad to see the number 1 selling muscle car in america be out performed. But it always has been honestly by chevy or dodge. All you can hope for is that the mustang stays where it has always been popularity, and selling wise.

I love the uniqueness of s197's.
Sure there are already alot out there, but still a great car, and not as over populated as slightly older mustangs or civics/accords.
As for the power, Id rather see Ford selling them with a small increase.
That way when we race challengers and win, it looks better on us
I gotta start working on some mods... need a better cash flow
