I think the new Mustang is a bit of a disappointment because of the extra weight it picked up. That means slower straight line times and worse city (EPA test) fuel consumption. True, a base model with the performance pack and a pair of Recaros (to make up for the plain interior) is only $37k, but the more you spend the less you get, it seems. There will be tons of base 6 cylinder cars on the street so nobody will give it a second look.

No lap times have been published, that I know of, but I suspect we are looking at something like the outgoing M3. However, these 5.0 Fords are easy to hot rod with headers doing wonders.
