    Have yet to see one in person..My sister asked me about buying a 11 Mustang Coupe, but a v6. Told her get the new 5.0, so I can play with it but she didn't like that idea, or the price tag. lol

    I can't wait to take a test drive - just need the local dealer to get a GT with the 6-spd and the Brembo brake upgrade...

    Don't knock the V6 though - 5.1 to 60 mph will run with any stock GT from earlier years.

    I test drove one when we were waiting for the paperwork to get completed on my wife's Fusion Sport. Was very impressed with the power, but unfortunately it was a droptop (GT 6 speed) so it had so much cowl shake I couldn't really get a good idea on the handling. Put power down very well though.

    I was drooling over one in the local dealer's showroom just as the new owner came out to claim it. It is his first Mustang and he is in total lust with it.
