Default Motor Trend: 4.0 vert vs. G6 vert

In the recent MT mag. there is a head to head comparison of the Mustang 4.0 vert vs. the G6 retractable hard top vert. Bottom line was the Mustang was rated higher overall in all performance categories. We are a full second faster in the quarter mile and faster in all acceleration numbers. One thing I saw in the article that I never noticed is that the windshield in the vert is more steeply raked than the coupe; this is to reduce wind buffeting. Anyway, cool article and good to see the Stang get some props, they really had a lot of good things to say about our car!

Thats good news. I was looking at the Consumer Reports book and it gave us bad comments specific to our 4 liters.
