I think the 2010+ models look a lot better (outside) than the 05-09, and in some cases stock for stock they look better than our new edges.
Interior wise, i know that the S197 has a "better" interior, but man i love the simple look. When I look at my cousins 68 mustang and see the interior, i know its a muscle car, not like the S197s
haven't driven any other stang other then mine so i can't say in that way. but looks wise i think the 05-09's look ok, 2010+ are better IMO. My favorite are the 1st gens though, then the early sn95's. just my opinion though.
i bought my 08 gt cuz of the retro look and also that 3rd valve. ive had no problems whatsoever. passed a guy today and was real proud of it. it jus flew passed him with no real effort at all
I dont like the 05-08s at all to be honest. They look like a boat and from what i hear handle like one too. Im also one for the raw muscle car.
mine handles perfectly. and it stock too. sure it cant turn on a dime like miatas can, but it still impresses anyone in my passenger seat when i turn. the only thing i hate about it is that it has begun to squeak too much.
and sure an s197 isnt raw muscle, but what is nowadays. we havnt had a raw muscle car in like 30 years.
