Hey guys I know that this has been beat to death, but I was simply amazed at how well this car was made. It was an 05 GT manual premium with all the bells and whistles. These cars are simply beautiful in person and the interior is second to none for the price range of these cars. Aside from how civil these cars drive compared to the Fox body cars, they will flat out move. To me, it felt deceptive in that it didnt plant you back in the seat like my 90 GT did, but these cars are so refined it doesnt feel like it is going as fast as it is. The new 3v motors feel great and really pull up top (I hit the rev limiter a few times b/c it was pulling so good I didnt think to shift), but they still dont have that sit you back in the seat torque of our beloved 5.0s. All in all I think Ford did a great job and this Mustang is destined to be one of the best cars of all time.

PS-the car had 3.55s and 40 series flowmasters (sounded ALOT like a 302 )
