Considering that a properly set up automatic will be faster and more consistent through the 1/4 mile, I'd have to say that you don't quite know what you're talking about.

Granted, the street versions suffer some performance loss from a torque converter that's tuned for comfort and longer life, but most serious dragstrip cars will use a built automatic.

And the front, back, side of the owner?

if your mom can afford a fully equipped GT, she can afford to get her driveway paved!

If i ever spent that much on a car, i'd want to park it inside a garage and not have to deal with dirt roads.

So your mom goes out in her Mustang and revvs it up besides other Caravan moms at the lights eh? "Let's go biatch!" lol

I really like the design of the latest Mustang. A piece of art.

You should get her a customer licence plate that says "MILF" :p

Frankly I think people who buy performance cars because they look good or just 'cuz they have the money are stupid
"Moms" driving Mustangs (non-V6 of course), Vettes, etc should be locked in a minivan for the rest of their lives

If it wasn't for those people, though, there would be a LOT less money in the market, and thus fewer designs.

Especially the really high-end stuff like Ferrari, Lotus, Porsche...

i like the new mustang body. the earlier ones (by which imean 2 years agoish) looked like...well...your normal average car, nothing special about them. and interior wasnt that great either, but idk if thats changed.

for those who asked what happened to the shelby, my brother got in an accident with it and it was totalled. :(

as for the pics being small, I'm on my parent's dial-up ATM and had to chop them down. The cam is a 6MP so that's not the issue :)

Being a Mustang guy, I just can't like this body style no matter how hard I try. Every one I've seen in person turns me off. Oh well, I know I'm in the minority...

That being said...this one linked above is probably the only one that I've seen that looks remotely decent...mainly because they got rid of those god awful rims they come with...

I plan to get the 2006 GT which will look the same (even better) by
the end of the year.
Take it to a shop and get it fully "pimped" out.
Black exterior/Leather interior/chrome/DVD system inside/Monitors....the works! :D
