You see more videos like that because there are more Mustangs around. Although I do *think* they tend to attract a certain... shall we say... "class" of owner.

Carmax had a 2013 GT500. Was tempting. But not far enough in the future just yet to buy next car..

The color that I am feeling is on the second to last page of the brochure. Those wheels too. Just never was a fan of black wheels on any car. Yuck.

I drove the 2012 when it was new. Even with the traction control turned off I could beat the crap out of it without too much worry. So I am on the "bad driver with too much power" side of things when it comes to those. And to be honest, I have known more Mustang owners than not that had zero business in a high powered car. But that also goes for other high powered cars, so I am curious as well. For vettes, as much as I like the new ones ... most I see are retired guys driving alone it seems, which seems very different than the crowd I see driving mustangs. But what I see is only a small percentage of course, so who knows. But the Mustang sure does not feel like it is all that hard to handle if the driver has basic car control skills and is not an idiot.

DarkSubRosa has a S500 Mustang.. It's a fast car and easy to run out of talent.

Page 5 of the brochure shows a "light em up" feature, and a drag christmas tree light set up.

Yeah, that's not going exactly stop people from doing stupid shit when you in essence encourage it. My Alfa has a G force indicator, you know what I do when it's in that mode? Go around corners quickly so I can see how far I can make it go. FTR, I've got it to .90 g's on my home from work.

Hellcat has lap timer, 1/4 mile time, and reaction time built into the cluster.

I looked at a Bullitt trim the other day. Really like the color and the shift knob. The massive Bullitt badge on the rear kinda put me off though. I prefer it to the Camaro.
