The GT500 is more of a drag machine and never was intended as a big road/track car like the Z/28 (even though it's only 2 seconds slower on the 'ring than the Z/28).

The Laguna Seca Boss 302 was $49.9K...still under $50K. As far what was going around Nurburgring...only Ford knows.

The nurburgring videos sound like a cross plane v8 and I don't think ford ever lapped a boss around the ring.

5.0L 435hp/400tq

Looks like 700 is the new 600

I'm not a big fan of the Challengers, but it's pretty cool how their pricing it at 60k for that much horse

I am more curious about when the hp wars will stop. I used to think that 500 was the limit, then we shot right past 600hp. I knew it was only a matter of time before 700hp became mainstream. It is almost a certainty now that the next GT500 will have over 700hp also.

With me I think 500 or even a little bit more is enough for me.. More than that I wouldn't even know what to do with it. 700 something horsepower will probably throw me into a tree haha

Sounds really good.


Okay, okay....but really, it does sound good. Mustangs always do. I wish I liked the ergonomics of the car (..generally speaking). Every time I drive one I hate how it feels from behind the wheel (..high dash, shifter feel, etc.).

Not sure about the sound. I wish it was more like F8x sound... The one that comes from inside the car.

Lol, just joking around. Real always beats fake

The sound from outside of the F8X sounds good. You know you love it.

i was just driving my friends GT last night. I agree, its a fun car he has a full exhuast/tune (sounds really good). also. but i realize how better much my M3 feels behind the wheel.

Thats why I didn't get into one...almost bought a Boss 302 just couldn't deal with the rest of the car. You have to keep in mind that the new Mustang which went into production just a week ago should go a long way in remedying this.

Let's hope so. That would make a world of difference in terms of appeal.

I also looked at a 302 before i looked at a M3. after seeing both cars in person, then sitting in both of them. the M3 was clearly a better car, and came with a high price tag though. I am much happier daily driving this car.

I agree...although I just leased a 2014 Ford Fiesta St through my business to take over as a DD. The amount of money I saved on fuel pays for the Fiesta ST.

Very fun little go kart...




Not the M3 however...I just hate putting a ton of mileage on this car when I plan on keeping it.

Dave

[Ezio]

i just saw one of those cars today, not bad. Ya i understand the mileage thing. I have been putting a ton of miles on my 2013.

I think the new mustangs will be a lot better than what they use to be. I've always loved mustangs so hopefully this one will be a killer. murica stepping their game up these days

'Murica has always played the muscle game perfectly, but the refinement game needed work. They're definitely getting there.

Doesn't dodge have a new challenger with 707hp for 15 as well?

I know you can make a decent exhaust noise from turbo engine. My preference is engine noise though.
When I had 335is the exhaust was not bad at all. The engine however sounded less intense even compared to n52.

Here's your questions to the handling of the car http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/show...2015-2505.html

I expect the gt to have m4 performance
