Agree with the cup holder thing for large cups. However, a regular coffee cup fits well and I put the 20oz bottles in the rear holder and have plenty of room.

If only every review could be this objective and fun. Better yet if politics could. Great video.

I like those videos, they once drove an old ElCamino that was only running on 7 cylinders to Reno Nevada to summit racing and did an engine swap right in the parking lot. They had a dog with them that got car sick. It snowed on them during the swap. It was on their series called Road Kill.

+1 I love Road Kill.

Actually, the whole Motor Trend youtube channel has had a lot of great content on it since it was redesigned. Road Kill and Ignition are my favourites.

That was so awesome! I'd love to drive my car like that even though it's just a 45th anniversary SS. I'd never do that to my baby.

Dang....someone else buys the cars, the gas and the tires and all they have to do is beat the crap out of them...it must be nice! That's really the way I would WANT to drive them but I'm always concerned about tire wear, breakage, tickets or even gas mileage. Great video!

Its the same tranny as the zl1 just with different ratios so I think the problem is the shifter itself or maybe the driver position in relation to the shifter is causing the driver to miss shift...

He's not the first to have problems shifting the Mustang, must need a new designed shifter. They'll probably fix it next year.

Always room for improvement in Mustangs

What I think is when they heard about the ZL1 they rushed to make the Shelby faster and may have not gotten everything ironed out before production began.

These two guys were great in the video...funny, fun, honest review loved it!!! Makes me want to go out and hammer on mine now.

lionssfan · 09-02-2012, 04:27 PM

They should of switched cars to see if the other guy could shift it.
