SPOTTED 2010 Ford Mustang GT


87GT

Recommended Posts

Oh yeah, I drove that car on thursday.

 

My thoughts on it...

 

I've driven Dave's foxbody, and JaSSon's old 2000 mustang, and now this. I must say that the Fox and the 2000 both felt like the exact same car. This new one feels totally different, in that it feels like a very nice, modern car. It is first Ford that I have ever driven that I can honestly say I would enjoy owning. It shifts perfectly (and the shifter is in the right place ! ! !). The body styling changes are subtle. Different angle in the ass, the rear fenders stand out more, the grille is shorter. The gauges are very bright, my complaint was that they reflected on the windshield.

 

All in all - it may not feel like a classic mustang, but that's because its finally a good car.

I had the opportunity to drive that car (It's a pre-production car from Ford used for media previews, btw) in the Hocking Hills around Old Man's Cave today on some enjoyable, if not well-paved, roads, and loved it.

 

Positives:

- Great sounding engine

- Sufficient power, wide power band

- Smooth, quiet ride even on lousy roads

- Excellent interior, materials and switches

- Mike fit in the back seat

 

Negatives:

- Needed more gear. Get the 3.73 axle.

- Needed LSD. Get the track pack.

- Ugly wheels

- Questionable styling update; I like the sequential turn lights, though

- Insufficient brakes for a car this fast

- Wide pedal spacing

- Long shifter throw

 

This is the first Mustang GT I've ever driven that I'd gladly own.

Looks so bland, so boring. Tails look pulled off some crapbox hybrid or something. Yawn.

 

I felt this way throughout looking at the pics, as well. All the good mustang designers stopped working in the late 60's.

This was at work. One of my co-workers got to drive it. I am jealous ! All I had was my cell phone so deal with the quality :D

Here's Jack's review of that car and our trip down to Old Man's Cave, from Speed:Sport:Life's "Mustang Madness Month":

With some luck, we may get our hands on a 2010 Camaro soon.
