It'd be awesome to see the F5 hit way past 100k units, it'd be really nice to see F5 with the same steam the S-197 had until Camaro and Challenger returned (but I dont think thats possible now that the pie has been sliced up).

That assumes they yet the Camaro stand still. GM is pretty competitive with this car. The SS is rated at 426HP because it is one more than the SRT8 Challenger at 425HP.

Yea..but it'll be interesting since they're putting the Stang on a diet...I have a feeling "..someone.." will be saying, "I told you so!"....

Tru'dat, hard to feel sorry for somebody wheel'n one of those even if the MY11 car is coming with an aluminum block. The press hasn't had anything bad to say about the MY10 iron block cars in the handling department.

Of course you could always walk up to the owner and say "I can't beleive you paid 48k for only 114 more horsepower"

And IMO kona blue is hands down the best color for that car as well as the GT and the Roush.

Also can't wait to see if the TP/GT and MY10 GT500 show up in Lightning Lap this year.

2010 was a big upgrade from the 2009 though. Not only is the '10 a better car, it got 40HP and 2mpg more.

Oh yeah, it got alot of changes in the suspension department, Ford even saw fit to stiffen the steering shaft for better feel. The power increase seems to be in line with the FRPP cold-air setup though (you can get the same increase by getting it), they also did some areo work and reduced lift by 75% IIRC.

Anyone notice how much the new Mustang looks like the new Camaro? It is like they took Mustang styling and draped it over the Camaro's shape.
