Johnny -- Good post!

Only one problem with it.... LOL.... it still LOOKS like a Mustang. IMHO (owning an '06 Mustang) is that when they changed body style - they killed it. No way would I buy one now... I'd be CAMARO all the way...

I disagree, I love the new mustang. the 2010 are my favorite since the fox body coupe. The interior on 10's are much better then 06's IMO

I agree with the interior statement. I rented a convertible last month when in Hawaii and liked it MUCH more than the '06... but I HATE the new design... and the sales of the Mustang show I'm not alone.

is it the slope greg? not sure how to describe the front and rear.

Hard to describe why you do or don't like something... but I would say it this way:

To me - the '06 (as an example) looks exactly like the "old" Mustang but drawn with a fresh pen.... the new Mustang looks like they just HAD to change something but didn't know why.. When I look at it - it doesn't invoke that classic Mustang "bad to the bone" look.

Cool. Sounds like a nice little motor. I'm interested to learn more about the variable cam timing with the adjustable overlap. Hopefully we'll be able to make it sound like a pro-stocker at idle via a simple tuning change.

A modded LSX engine will still beat the living crap out of that 5.0 engine everyday of the week. I'm glad they are at least trying to out do GM.
