Coprhead, you MIGHT want to think about "trading up".   I'm looking seriously into the 2011 GT now.

the only brand new car i ever owned, was an 83 mustang gl. it was special ordered with a 5.0, 5 speed, and 3.27 rear. no other options, except for the trx suspension.
 the rear blew, as it was only a 7.5" back then. i rebuilt it with 3.73's, blew that one, and put a 9" in it. the trx suspension sucked.

 it was black.

 so shall this one be.

so have i.

put some water on the road, and i'd take the beemer.

in the real world of street driving, there's not many out there that have the balls to push their car even remotely close to its limits. heck.....most people don't have a clue as to the capabilities of their cars. and i don't think i've been out cornered in my 89 on the street. i knew how far i could push her.....and when she'd let go.

 i did/do.

LMAO!!! street driving ........You go git 'r done there Mad Max........the wife's 530xi can out corner that GT with ease. Problem is too much power to your rear wheels causes wheel spin and loss of control. Thank Newton for that. Not Mustang bashing at all. Just for the money seems to be many other cars out there that perform better. Texas roads warrants many opportunities to "push cars to the limits"........M-5 is next and then your GT is really out of its league.

buddy of mine had an m5.........18 year old girl running a light broadsided him. thankfully, he had hesitated before going, so he lived.....unfortunately, the car didn't. it was beautiful.


 i wasn't trying to put down the car. i'm no mad max either. i just tend to know how far i can push my cars, and when someone tries to plant themselves on my back bumper, they generally don't manage to stay there long. 

 i did lose to a 5 series beemer once. in my dakota.  that thing drives like an old 80's 5th ave. at anything over 70.


dammit.....now i'm gonna hafta price radar detectors again......mustangs aren't stealth.......

you've obviously never driven one.

I haven't driven one in years, but I've raced against them in me '98 firebird.  There has never been a stock mustang built that can match an old f-body on a road course, period.  Just look at historical SCCA race results in the stock classes for proof...
