I thought they only had 300hp.  

I must admit they sure look nice though.  At first I didn't like them but then I went to the local auto exbo in which all the new dealer cars were on display and I got to take a good long look at one from all angles (OK, it was a V6 verison-but who cares, it still looked cool).  Dispite the ugly color of this one, I was really impressed.  I think its the first Ford car I have ever really liked.  If I was going to buy a new car, it would be a Mustang over anything else (based soley on looks, I think it beats both the new Viper and Corvette).

HELL YEAH

You hear that they are going to race them in the 24 hours of Daytona?  Excited to see what they can really do and for how long

Too bad like most American high powered cars, it sees a corner and goes straight on:)

Yup ......... lovely soggy undercarriage. Fantastic to drive on long straight roads. I was lucky enough to hire one of the older Mustangs on a holiday in Canada a few years ago.  I was lucky not to be jailed for speeding......  :o

Dont get me wrong, I love the car, going to be buying a 98 mustang when i get my license. But they really cant handle corners quite that well:) As they lov to point out often on topgear:) (who also loved the car)

I recall that when they tested it out on Topgear they made a point of finding the longest, straightest road in the country to test it out on. Sure they liked it, but only because of it's looks. Handling wise it was a pig.

0-60: 4 seconds

the GT is slower than that (5.2 seconds to 60),

Just so you know, you dont need to import one, they are going to sell them here.

You think the new ones are bad Craig, try driving one of the old ones.  

what a coincidence i was at my dad's house and he said want to go test drive something? i said sure, so we went to Galpin Ford, to test drive a new 2005 Saleen 281 SC. let me tell you that thing is fun (and it can turn pretty well too )

This new pony should have a stiffer suspension that should translate into better handling than before.

The reason the handling is so poor is due to the weight distribution.  The front end is extremely heavy compared to the rear (this doesn't help by the back end being so short).  This is a common trend amoung US sports cars.

Top speed : 149mph

With all that power it goes only 149Mph (238Km/h). Or it is electronically limited to that speed? Usually they put a brake at 250Km/h 156Mph.

My friends '92 camero cuts out at 120mph(don't ask)
