I see a lot of Mustangs around my neighborhood; however, I wonder how good they're really selling because they are offering pretty good incentives on them right now. Check out the incentives at:

The new 260 hp GT's take a seriously good launch to BEAT them off the line. From roll-ons, especially on the highway, it's not that close. When in VTEC, the S2000 is a formidable car for just about any non-exotic. 3rd and 4th gear highway pulls against stock GT's shouldn't even be that much fun for you guys. You're better off hunting down civics with motor swaps.

A couple of weeks ago I was playing with a 5.0 convertible with a nice sounding exhaust. He kept toying with me so it bit. Light turned green, he immediately got a 1 car-length jump on me (my crappy launching skills). I hit about 8500 rpm in every gear and by the time we shut it down (100+) I was almost a full car-length ahead of him. I asked him what he had in the car, besides the exhaust, and he replied "a lot of money -- racing cam and much more". He said he has no problems beating 4.6L GTs all the time. Made me feel good and it surprised his that a 4-banger did that.

It is relatively cheap to make Mustangs go fast. My old

Not sure what year it was. It was a GT 5.0L (dark burgundy, louvered tailights, spoiler, and all that extra plastic body work that Ford thought made the car look faster). It had the ugly multi-spoke GT wheels if that helps (I know they switched to 5-spoke wheels later).
