I took one of those Mustangs for a test drive on Friday. It was 6 cylender and an Automatic. Ug! But I wanted to see what it was like.

I haven't driven a Mustang in a while, but it was kinda fun. The automatic sucks. After driving the 911 5-speed, it's hard to lope along at 2200 rpm at 60 mph. A stomp of the loud pedal gets a short delay followed by a loud growl. I'm sure the GT would have been waaay more fun.

If it was my DD, I could see getting tired of it quickly. The automatic couldn't even supply a tiptronic of sorts. It was all so retro, I don't think they wanted to mess with the look.

The interior was retro cool and boring at the same time. Again I could see the appeal now, but get tired of it quickly. Oddly enough, the 12v plug was at the top of the dash..great for a radar detector, but terrible to plug in a cell phone...
