Re: Some real Mustang GT info
Well it is under $25,000 then like they kept saying it would be. By $1. Awesome.
Wonder when we'll get a complete options list with pricing. Which begs the question - how much money could Ford rake in with a $150 fog light delete option?

Re: Some real Mustang GT info
So I guess most GT's will be around 28-29k. That just seems really expensive to me. What is the base price of the current car? Too bad there was no concrete performance data.
Re: Some real Mustang GT info
Base price of the current bottom feeder V6 is $18,775 (with destination charge) with no options.
Base price of the deluxe GT is $24,300 (with destination charge). A well-optioned car (M5) is around $26,500.
Base price of the Premium GT is $25,470 (with destination charge). A well-optioned car (M5) is around $28,200.

Re: Some real Mustang GT info
A lot of reviews are coming in from people that had a chance to drive it. It should suffice to say that they were all VERY happy with it. All report very little to no body roll. They say it's MUCH better than previous Mustangs in every respect. There is some pitching, but only when you FLOOR IT. They say front drop during hard braking is minimal and nothing like the previous models. Even Z28 owners who were there love the car...Ford has a real winner on their hands here, but some of us already knew that
If the Ford brochure is correct and it does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, then it will be Mach1 fast. With the quality being so good on this car and the much better performance it gives...I see quite a few Camaro owners going to the blue oval. With Dodge and Ford putting out pony cars two years before GM, I see GM not selling as many Camaros as they'd like.

Re: Some real Mustang GT info
I am seriously considering the new Mustang, however I actually want a GTO not only because of it's performance, interior, and stealth appearence, but also because I know those things have near truck-like chassis & structure components. It's built to hold up barrelling over unpaved outback roads, so it's not about to loosen up as it ages or flex or bend by going over one too many potholes as our cars here sometimes do on our much more extensive paved highway system.
The new Mustang DOES have a great sounding exhaust. The best I've heard from a production car other than the GTO. I think the exterior is great looking, especially in low light. If you miss the attention-to-details interior of the 1960s, you'll love the Mustang's new interior.
If you ever sit in the new Mustang interior, you WON'T look at your 4th gen's interior the same way ever again.

Re: Some real Mustang GT info
if their car was a bit wider, had nicer rims, and lowered an inch or 2 it would look 20x better. to me when i see this car in that standing high skinny/cheap tire stance, i think of a 95' mustang v6. am i alone on that one?
