Im 35.
We love our 08GT500, the sound of the engine, the whine of the supercharger,
the awesome speed, and we don't give a rat's *** about our gas mileage since it is
a muscle car beast and know that's not why you buy one of these lol!

AND my 300lb brother with me

It gets better..... My dad has just recently become the first n/a 3.7 to go into the 12s, running a 12.91@106. With his current setup, he got 30.4mpg on the way to Mustang Week this year..... real hard to beat that for the money!!

I don't flame people for buying what they want or can afford, you know what's best for you I don't. Don't assume all V8 folks (4.6 or 5.0) are cylinder snobs.

Good to hear you're enjoying your pony.

Needless to say the top stayed up until we got off the interstate at Charlottesville VA.
1 of 2 reasons there is not a Vert in my Garage, the other being the No Performance Package on the Vert.
I have been getting 25.5 with mine, but that is mixed City and highway, first long trip is at the end of October.
