Too bad they couldn't use 93 octane. Regardless, this is one strong pony.

395rwhp? Damn!

Crimson92 · 03-25-2010, 09:47 AM

thats awesome, and for the price of the car its a real bargain.

not really the car for me but still impressive nonetheless.

glad to see ford/chevy coming out with some good cars again

LRA's are capable of more whp than independent rear suspension equipped cars but very impressive nevertheless. Cannot believe you could buy these 400HP muscle cars for the same price as a 328 with plastic seats and 10 inch wheels.

Garduna · 03-25-2010, 11:13 AM

Damn! If I everr get mad money, I'd buy one :P I think the stang is the only american car i'd buy...... maybe a viper too, just maybe

I think the same thing as well. It's hard to go back once you've been spoiled with Euro precision but this is definitely something to experience.

sloppy and fast lol

anthony @ eas · 03-25-2010, 11:46 AM

Nice. That will be a properly good car for the money I think.

Point N Shoot · 03-25-2010, 11:52 AM

best buy for the buck for sure..

NYC6 · 03-25-2010, 12:25 PM

Wow, cant wait for magazine tests and actual real world reports. This thing is gonna be a real strong car on the road. Its going to put up phenominal numbers with forced induction.

Ender514 · 03-25-2010, 12:27 PM

nice...so its making from 25-30 or so more hp than its rated.

DBFIU · 03-25-2010, 01:16 PM

Fantastic machine.

ChrisRich · 03-25-2010, 04:58 PM

So a hungry Ford is a GOOD thing. Lets hope this isn't all wasted enthusiasm on a car that's going to die horribly due to some cut corners..

I didn't. That was just a mocking based on the sloppy nature of mustang handling.

marty_mcfly · 03-25-2010, 08:45 PM

ben14142001 · 03-25-2010, 10:27 PM

I drove a 2010 GT, and I can tell you, the handling is NOT sloppy.
