It was nice to see the Mustang do well, but I'm not gnashing my teeth because I don't have one. I mean it's cool and all, but it's larger, much heavier, and I'm just not feeling the big long retro 70's look. It's really not "my car plus better." At least in my mind.

I'll take the engine, though. Don't get me wrong

They are lighter then the 03-04 cobras.

I hope I either A) win the lottery or B) wife finishes her MBA by about 2013 or so, so we can get a new 5.0

It is bigger, but it is not much heavier. It's actually only about 200 pounds heavier than my 98 GT is. Not bad at all, IMO.

I'm not saying it's bad. But it's still heavier. And it's 5" longer, 7" wider, and 2.5" taller. It's no longer a "small" car. It's "midsized." I'm sure it's better for driving around town, but I don't want a bigger car, myself.
