Ive heard of em putting 390-400 to the wheels.Which means theyve got more hp than the factory is claiming.

I like em, but they don't excite me yet when I see it.

The factory rates the cars lower for insurance reasons. The more power your car makes the higher the insurance premiums. Its an attempt to make the overall cost of owning the car cheaper for the consumer

I wan't one BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno what Terrance is talkin bout, these things excite the hell out of me when I see em. How could 400+ N/A hp from the factory, mid 12 second timeslips STOCK, Brembo brakes, & factory HID's not excite you??? With a drop that thing would look tits.

I will be getting one used in a couple of years... I already tried to look into 1, but I refuse to, & can't afford to pay $700+ a month for a car.

it's all about insurance and probably CAFE standards. plus ford wants to beat chevy with less, and chevy wanna beat ford with less.

if you look at rated HP in '69-'70 everything was way downrated

I'd get one if they were a little less, but I'll give it a year or two.
I want one, I don't care for the rear of it but it'll grow on me I'm sure..
Wonder how much they'll go for next year.. [Confused]

I love what ford is doing with the mustang, but at face value the styling is not the best i think they could of done. The components inculded and engineering is off the chain, but the overall look of base models is not all that great to me, especially from the rear. However the 2011 GT500 I like quite well

I get excited when I see a 95 Viper GTS, I Get excited when I see the Ford GT, and my panties get wet when I see a 03/04 cobra. Many fox guys were the same way with the sn-95 cars when they came out, but they eventually grew on people.

The rear had to grow on me too, but I like them now. Especially with the GT500 wing & a nice drop.

As far as putting $15k down, thats easier said than done, for me at least LOL....
