$40K for an american POS that cant handle any better than a ford taurus? Ford needs to work on a better suspension.

Even if it DID handle bad who cares. Im not some jap car euro car drivin pvssy. Its for people like me who go in a straight line, not pvssy curves and corners. If you want that then get some euro trash. Who wants that anyhow? Think your jindy car driving round the corners in a subdivision or something? Infact please go do that right now, maybe youl roll your car and die. GO home.

I was going to post that gscone had made the worst post of the day but I think this one tops it. This car should handle well, the stock Mustang handles well and the old Cobra handled like it was on rails.

BTW-I like Jap cars and Euro cars that can handle well. I also like this car. :p

The 3-link solid rear on this S197 platform was good enough to whip up on the IRS (Euro's, Japanese, and even the previous gen Cobra's) boys on the Grand-Am circuit. :thumbsup:

Just like last year's Cobra... I bet the dealer markup will be higher though with the inclusion of Shelby's name

I'm going to ask my salesman if I can order one with an X-Plan. I'm 99.9% sure the answer is no, since it's an SVT product, but hey if I don't at least try, I'll never know, right? :thumbsup:

No sh!t, bias is the word of the day apparently! Yeah, it might not handle like a Boxster, but it'll be plenty competent around the corners if Ford's recent attention to well-roundedness is consistent. And it'll also be a beast in the straights with 450HP, though it stickers at 5k more, it'll lay waste to the "GTO" (note the quotes) :)

That's freaking lame. I haven't seen this new one and hadn't even heard of it and now that I have I'm not impressed. The original GT500 was a work of art. They're just tarnishing it now. This is to the real GT500 what the H2 is the the Hummer; A pathetic immitation. Period, full stop.

Looks like SH!T compared to the cheaper GT.

Between that and my current mustang's ebrake just letting go while I was on a hill and my treatment at the dealer when I said OMGWTF, I can't see myself buying another mustang.
