With it's mere 315 horsepower I have no problem gaining the speed needed on the onramp to easily blend into interstate traffic. 0-60 test time is 5.4 seconds...1/4 mile 13.6. More than adequate for me. At 77, I know damned well my driving skills aren't what hey were 50 years ago...father time is cruel.
So, reality bites...700 plus horsepower is no place for this old man. But it sure is fun to watch on video. Here's Randy Probst driving the GT500 around Laguna Seca...2nd overall in the best driver's car test, and Randy's nod as the most fun track car...

Here he is in the Turbo S...yep, quicker than the Mustang.

Here's the data sheet of a Car & Driver test of the '08 Bullitt Mustang... Just me, but I consider it perfectly adequate performance for today's highway driving.
