The Mustangs were fun to watch at VIR yesterday....really beating up on far more expensive machines like BMW. I'm sure those are still the current engine, the 5.0s should be impressive.

The past glory part was wimpy. All they can come up with is a few dragstrip moments? I know the Mustang didn't have much racing history, but come on - not even GT350 footage?

So, you'd rather see the footage of new Mustangs beating Caymans on a road course? That could probably be arranged.

She seems to fluctuate pretty wildly in weight. When she's thin she's quite cute though.

I had a 1995 Mustang GT, the last of the 5.0 HO engines (it was actually 4923 ci or something) and it was a fun car. I added some Steeda suspension parts, and it actually handled pretty well.
I'm trying to talk the father in law into one of the 5.0's. |

Paul... It was Grand Am Rolex, but there were a bunch in the Continental race....air next week. I think they were pretty well matched...no blowouts. BUT the Cayman vs 911 racing was quite tight.

Ahh, darn...lol! Btw, followed a '10 Mustang ragtop on I-5 for a bit today. No real tales to tell...besides it was a 6 banger. But this did give me lots of time to study the new rear end styling. Yep, my aesthetics sense prefers the '09 styling...a lot.

Here you go, Paul. '09 and '10 bodies beating up on German sedans. I couldn't find one where they were beating up on water cooled Porsches, but I'm sure it happened.

Thanks for the visual proof that today's Mustangs can turn both left & right. Guys, drive one before you condemn them. Ford ain't bad these days...
