Any road test videos on the New Edge GT?
I think it's great to read articles or watch videos of how people rate/test our cars. I found a pretty neat video of Top Gear testing the 2005 Mustang GT :

I agree, they are really interesting to see what others, specifically the magazines were saying about the '99 GT when it came out, then followed up each year with the '00-'04
But I've never seen a video road test, or anything like that before either.
However, one of my VERY favorite magazine tests is the one where they test the GT against the Camaro SS or Z28 since the mag. could not acquire a Cobra, and they talk about how badly the GT is gonna get raped in the quarter mile.
Then they run 14.1 for the GT vs. a 13.9 for the LS1. What tools. They're like, "oh, its alot closer than we imagined for such a power difference" LOL

Seems to me that they are just making fun of the 05 GT in that clip... talkin about how out of date the stuff is and the live axle is bad... I guess they dont drag race too much

The car IS dated, and the live rear axle IS bad for everyday driving. What good is the axle for drag racing if you have only 300 at the crank? These guys at Top Gear and used to driving top end sports car, so it's no suprise that they give the Mustang low ratings. I felt most of it was pretty dead on. They did admit it's fun to drive, has great styling, and offers decent performance for the money. I respect the fact they are critical of the car rather than say every car is so awesome, like some other road testing shows/magazines.
