2010 Ford Mustang

I think I'd rather buy a new Z than a mustang

The new Z is much improved. I watched the test on that too. Quick little ride.

unless they bring out something like the 03-04 cobra, i have no interest in mustangs anymore

They do have something like that. It's called the GT500....It's overpriced, too heavy, and won't hookup.

thats not near what the 03-04 cobra was. you dont get what i mean

The GT500 is the closest thing to the Cobra made today. It churns out more horsepower than the Cobra, and is a much better car overall. The Cobra was equipped with a 390hp engine, but rumor has it the car was under rated, and actual produced 415 hp. Today's GT500 produces 500 horspower, with a ton of suspension goodies. It's more car than the Cobra, thus the price difference.

Except the cobra actually attempted to upgrade the suspension to deal with the increased power, and the GT500 still runs on a wagon axle.

A turned up supercharger isn't worth the price premium, the cobra was a better value.

All Mustangs are still on wagon axles....I'm suprised Ford hasn't went a different direction with the GT500 by giving it IRS like the 1999-2004 Cobra had. IRS is not the choice for guys running straight lines, but it sure makes the curves nice.
