    Yea just a bit too much, there. There's a dude with a fox body where I live that I've seen driving around. Absolutely pounds the ground. Someone told me it dyno'd 714hp at the wheels, all motor. And he's going twin turbo soon. :eek:

    I saw a fox body late 80's GT that was white with the 2 blue racing stripes. I rumbled very nicely when i passed him on the interstate. I would bet that thing would roar when he gets on it.


    Have you guy heard the '12 mustang GT with the new 5.0? My FIL has a convertible and i put on the CAI and Roush Exhaust. OMG does that thing roar when you get on it. :D

    edit: looks like this

    I personally like the G8 better than the GTO, but I do love new goats...

    They're fun to drive. One of our regulars at our valet has one. Get to drive it every weekend. So easy to drive too. Nice stiff clutch in there.

    Really? Ford isn't having any problems selling its 400+ HP Mustang. I think Americans just didn't like the GTO.

    The first few I saw when they came out...I honestly thought they were a new Saturn model!

    Looks like I may not be getting the mustang after all... Dude said hes firm at 850, which I'm not gonna pay. He clearly has no idea what he is talking about too, so that makes me less comfortable to try and get close to his price....

    Actually went along for a test drive with a good friend of mine. Those engines are an engineering marvel. (For Ford, anyway)

    Almost every original "muscle car" had an option for a 6 -sometimes even a FOUR cylinder engine.

    That makes no sense.
    You make no sense.
