Hey,

Recently (a week ago actually) bought my first brand new car, and it's also my first mustang. A black 2008 V6 With Pony Package... and I've been loving it. Never been a real fan of the mustang before, but there's something about the '08s that just looks awesome.

Had a few questions though (I did a search, but I didn't really see anything that answers this stuff)
Is it just me, or does going 40-55 MPH feel like you're doing 20MPH or so? I'm not an aggressive driver by any means so I'm not flooring it, but I am amazed at how slow it feels when this car is going at anything below 60.

Thanks

EDIT: removed technical question

Welcome to the forums...its a well made car and pretty quite so you don't "sense" the speed. Open the windows, it won't seem so slow then.

Fit and finish of the car is "decent", dont believe everyhting u read in consumer reports ect about the interior. Hell, my brother has a brand new 350Z and the interior in the mustang is far superior in my humble opinion. The feeling u get going 45-50 of being slow is because>>>>>>>>>>&gt ;>>>>>>>>> U ARE GOING SLOW. CRANK IT UP!
