PorscheAudi has a reputation beyond repute

Also, the GT500 is now very high in the running for my next car (unless by some miracle I can afford a GT3

In any event, if I were in the market for a Mustang, it would be the Boss.

As someone else mentioned, the track app shown on the dash is in the GT. I guarantee you that the GT500 will be faster than that.

A few years back I had some business dealings in LA. Flew into Burbank and rented the Hertz Shelby. I've never been a Mustang fan, but figured I'd give that car a shot.

I'm still not a Mustang fan.

I know it doesn't appear a lot of changes have been made the but current mustang is light years ahead of the 07-09 mustangs, which is when they did the Hertz program.

Anyone else thinks its amusing when they post gear ratios or final drive ratios?

I've never ever heard a Porsche client or someone who owns a Ferrari ask about those things.

Ferrari drivers don't pull trailers with them.
