Mustang being left behind

Hmmmm Interesting. Arent the 99+ GT's the fastest showroom car fords put out since the demise of the 428 big block!!!???

As for the cars handling, it handles better than any of the other Pony car competitors that GM puts out. Pulls better skid pads ratings and salom ratings than both, and I know from experience that it handles the curves pretty well.

And theres nothing wrong with its straightline performance either. Sure faster, and more powerfull is always better, but you gotta start somewhere.

As for the competitors, buy a new Z28, for around 24-25 around here, I'll buy a new Mustang GT for around 19,000 here, buy the time I spent that extra 5-6 grand on my stang, I'll be showing the bigger dogs some of my taillights. (Z28 SS, Cobra, TRANS AM WS6).

I live by the saying, Fast Cars aren't bought, There Built.
