    we supercharged a 05 GT for a customer and it ran great after we put the roush supercharger on it, but i really didnt drive it before to know how well it performed before we messed with it
    I averaged 30.3 mpg on a trip to Buffalo last month in my 07 GT. I was amazed.

    I like it, but I wish they'd have gone the extra mile and painted the lower trim like they did on the 05-09's for the GT. Also, painted mirrors that are non cobra specific?? que?

    edit: I don't like those mesh lookin rims. They look dumb. Yet another reason to put staggered deep dish rims on our mustangs :)

    They have made more Shelby GT500s than they have Terminators. The fact that they cost more just means that Ford is that much less in the hole because of it. I tip my hat to them for it. If I could afford everything I wanted, where would the motivation to grow be?

    The 3V is one of the best NA modular motors ford has come out with... it's possible to get them into the high 11's NA without internal engine modification. Some have done it without even a cam swap. The tune is where these cars begin to shine, without it and they are lack-luster at best, and given the competition they are better suited to the base model now than the GT. Ford should have had the new powertrain ready to go with the new body.

    like i said i can only speak for the truck and the explorer, the only 3v mustang i ever drove hard was supercharged and it wasnt a dog by any means. but theres no doubt about it, a dodge or chevy would have blown our mark LT off the road........and it only averaged about 15 mpg highway. id like to blame half of it on the tranmission the motor was paired with.

    Hmm not sure what to think of the 2010 Mustang. The more I look at it the more I think I won't be buying a Ford again next year.

    I'll take my Challenger in black please.
