Only thing is about this car is, I know everyone is praising the "track performance" but I guess I might just have to take a poll on this forum to see how many take their car to the track(not drag) on a weekly/monthly/semi-annually/annually basis because basically what you will pay for in this car besides the unique/rarity of the "Boss" you might as well get A. GT and upgrade for the same price and get more or B. Buy a GT500 :/

I go to the track just about every month, thats my reasoning for LOVING this car. the sturdier higher revving engine with an adjustable suspension from the factory is just fantastic for a track junkie like me.

Nothing too it but to do it, but I bet it will still have within the same power as a boosted GT :/ still not impressed, but they even stated the only reason they had to beef up the internals was for 500rpm extra to the red line to be like the old high revving boss, so gotta ask yourself how much did they beef it up?

The Mustang isn't about pulling BMW guys into Mustangs. It's about providing Mustang guys with a Mustang that can compete or best an M3.

This is what we want.

I don't want the expense of a BMW or the maintenance costs. I like the simple, durable, reliable, fast, fun Mustang.

I can pay cash for an M3. I just don't want to.
