With some aftermarket deep dish wheels, Shelby GT500 duck spoiler & chin spoiler the 2010 Mustang will look great. When people complain about the 315HP rating, you should be looking at the performance figures. I just sold my 06 Pontiac GTO (6.0L 400HP) which did: 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. The 10 Mustang GT (4.6L 315HP) will do 0-60 in 4.7 seconds also. The new Camaro is running basically the same engine as my 06 GTO and weighs more than my old GTO. The new Challenger also has more HP than the 10 Mustang GT, but is slower! HP numbers are great, but where the rubber hits the road is what matters to me.
The only issue I have with the new Mustang is the price tag. $29K MSRP for a base GT (5spd manual, cloth seats) Price creep is what killed the Camaro/Firebird back in 02, not HP figures. I love to see the Shelby, Roush & Saleen performance versions which sell for $50K, but a base GT should be had for $26K. A top of the line GT should be had for $30K. Every 2010 GT is see right now is selling for $34K. I hope once all the dust settles (6 months?) I will be able to walk into my local Ford dealer and negotiate a deal for $26K for a base 2010 Mustang GT.
