Nice test drive of the new car, good quality sound of the engine... very accurate. Just not quite as loud.



This compares the 2010 to the 2009

You have posted what other poeple have done, not what you personaly can do.. so you are bench racing. Plenty of people have fast cars, few can drive them like a pro, me included. Mustang/Camaro whatever as long as it aint rice.

I took one out recently, and before going out the salesman told me that the 10' doesnt ''scream'' like the 09'.

By the time we got back he goes, ''Well. I guess I just wasnt driving it right."




I love the exhaust note on these things...

It's like this...the guys you see struggling for that 13.9 (on a good track with decent air) in a Mustang GT are the same kind of guys you will see struggling for a 13.5 or better in the new Camaro SS on that same track (which will happen, and probably even by some people on this forum).

Lets not be be victims of a confirmation bias.

Oh wow another Mustang poll thing. I will avoid this one, but place a bet that it resorts to name calling and gets closed within 5 days.

We'll see. I agree it's getting annoying.

I'd really rather wait until 2011 and see what the 5.0L and/or the 3.5L TT will do for the Stang.

ok so because i have not run those times and i dont have enough parts to run 12 seconds (and dont feel a need to) the run is invalidated and the fact that most mustangs with bolt on's run 12's is null and void? the cars i post about are fictional? and you CAN'T run 12's with a bolt on GT because i didn't? is that what you are saying?

It's horrible to see the same people that scream about supporting gm and how much they love the camaro, yet they want it to be rare and exclusive, nice showing your love to your preferred motor company, i love how you guys almost promote discontinuation of your own car. if you want to be exclusive dont buy any mass produced car. i want the camro to succeed i think it's a hot car but you die hard "rarity" fans dont seem to get the point. i personally love that there is a mustang every where i go. doesnt that tell you something?
