Always been the key factor for me. Always considered owning one, especially the 2010^, but they are way too husky.

This is also some good news:

REPORT: 2011 Ford Mustang to get upgraded Track Pack to handle 5.0 "Coyote" power? — Autoblog

Evidently with the track pack, the 2011 will handle quite well too.

IIRC, you used to drive a greenish mustang, did you not?

I guess the experience of flipping it over changed your preference real fast.

good news. i like the fronts of the refreshed models better. the backs are ehh, but the sequential turn signals are neat lol.

should be a nice car. i still wish they'd scale it down a bit like the 1st gen mustangs, all 3 of the new pony cars feel like you're driving a boat. they're so bloated. but so are the 370zs, and some of the other newer sporty cars.

thinking about going stang for my next vehicle in 2012/2013 ish. if they can keep the price down, i'll be game for it.

if the imports are putting down massive power with IRS, i don't see why ford can't do it.


lol at outhandling camaro and challenger. i think a pontoon boat could do that.
