The new Mustang GTs are very nice cars. I'd be more than happy to park one of those "pigs" in my garage.

My buddy has an 07 Mustang GT with a 6 speed. It's a very quick car. I think it would beat my L98 car. The fact that I can even talk about an L98 hanging in with a new Mustang GT is a big compliment to the L98 cars.

An '07 GT coupe, has an ACW (insurance) value of $20k, retail is $23k
I could buy 2-3 nice C4's from "C4s for sale" here for that much

Here is a photo I took a couple weeks ago of a friends supercharged Bullit at the track. It's brand new with an aftermarket Magnusen SC. It has not been dyno tuned since the supercharger install a few weeks ago. I think it ran a 13.140 if you look at the board real close. I know he was running mid to low 13s and before the SC low 14s to high 13s
This is a series of photos from staging to the line. click through the images to see the last one of the timing board.

My 1995 Vette LT1 and 2006 Base Mustang convertible (and me). I drive both and enjoy them. The Mustang is a 200 HP V6; it runs pretty good, has decent accelleration and can run fast enough to get speeding tickets on the interstate.
The Vette has better accelleration and top end speed but being 11 years older, lacks some of the refinements of the Mustang.
I enjoy both. I'm not brand loyal (as long as it's an "American" car - no Hondas for me); I hope to have a 2009 Dodge Challenger sitting with them next year.

I smoked a stock 07 GT at the track last year by a couple ticks over a second, but I think he was just a bad driver. he ran a 14.8 to my 13.6 and my 94 6 speed coupe is stock with a K&N drop in filter.

I have some friends in Monson, that I think are not too far from you.

Yesterday i was standing next to a Ford Dealer and there was standing a nice red brand new Mustang,i wish i had my 87 in that excellent mint condition,i know that's possible,so i asked the guy,is that a V8 in there ? and with a proud grin he replied,yes it is.-
i looked inside,and its really really nice,the salesman came back with the keys,started it and went away,and then i was really really impressed.-
It was an automatic,from the revs i heard,he put mid throttle or more,and the car got away really slow,but the revs were kind of high,with that RPM's my 87 would be sideways smoking the rear tires like an animal,i was really impressed with the lack of power i saw
yesterday,damn,what's going on here ? am i wrong ?
