Thumbs up 2011 Mustang GT First Test Drive

As per The Car Connection:
Set your Google Alerts now: in two weeks, we'll bring you the first drive of the 2011 Ford Mustang both here at TheCarConnection and at MotorAuthority as well. We'll post our review of the reborn 5.0 Mustang, live from Los Angeles at 12:01 a.m., Monday, March 29th. Then in April, we'll bring it all home with a wrap-up on the day the Mustang was born, April 17.

And here I thought this was going to be a link to an actual first drive. Way to set us up for disappointment! This could've waited until the review actually existed!

I am sure Jalopnik, Autoblog, et. al. will have driving impressions up at 12:01 as well. I, for one, can't wait!

Motor Trend has its times up...
5.0 0-60 in 4.4 and 1/4 mile in 12.8.
3.7L 0-60 in 5.1 and 1/4 mile in 13.7

That 5.0 can move like we all knew but damn that V6 is faster than most GT's of the past

Those v6 times are VERY impressive. Wow.

It's def going to be a good day for 2011+ v6 owners, they get a stock 13 second car out the box. Def a lot better than my 2000 16 second slusher.
