You guys are making me wish I was going to opening day..


Also, that's a good point. My car doesn't have much of a backseat either (although my friends are always saying it's more comfortable than my buddy's Lexus IS350 sedan) but putting the seat backs down does give me a lot of extra storage space.

 

first off let me say i love cyber gray z's so good on you. with that said, unless you are a "domestic only" guy i would pass on any mustang. besides the ridiculous deprecation the build quality is still pretty weak. if you need a beater car that seats four and is quick get something that has already had its biggest depreciation hit like an '05-'06 E55. there are so many options in the 35-40k range you can fill pretty much any need.

 

Not at all just a domestic guy, but have you seen a '10 Mustang with the premium package? They are nice and the build quality is damn good. From what I know the E55's are prone to electrical issues and I want a 2-door anyway. The wife has a 4-door we use.

 

Mustang GTs run 12sec 1/4? Really? wow.

 

i have driven one actually, a buddy of mine has an FGT and was given one as a loaner when his car was in for service. build quality has improved certainly but it is not at european/japanese levels yet im afraid. the loaner was an auto so maybe that skewed my perception but it didn't seem as fast as your claims as well. the most annoying aspect was encountering hs kids everywhere you go pestering you about it.

never heard the E55's had electrical gremlins, are you referring to the '05-'06 models specifically? i was under the impression those were sorted.

you know you could always get a 996TT...

 

The '11s have run as quick as 12.7 so far.......the '10s are mid 13's at best.

 

The '10 started a new interior is totally redesigned and there is a $2000 premium interior package (that no rental will have) makes a huge, huge difference.

Alot of newer Benz's have electrical issues. I have friends that wanna burn theirs.

996TT is nice, but not what I am looking for in a daily driver. I wanna keep it below $40 grand with all mods. And I want a car that is cheap to maintain.

 

^Are we talking about the GT500? Or the regular V8 Mustang GT..

Because I call BS on the normal Mustang. Wouldn't be surprised by the GT500 running 11's though.

Edit: Ah crap, I just now realized this thread is about the GT500. I'm dumb.

 

No the regular old '11 Mustang GT runs 12's....

Not to sure if you are aware, the '11 GT's have a new 412 HP 5.0 V8. The 4.6 mod motor is gone, '10 was the last year.

 

You should catch up, it's looking good.
