I got a good deal yesterday on a 2011 SRT8 392 HEMI. Thing pulls hard. I'm in the process of trying to get my celica fixed and selling that for a primary driver since I traded my tacoma in to get my horse power. I'm loving it unfortunately by the time I got home and did my chores it started raining so I can't take some pictures of the car. I have one from first thing this morning that I'll show. It's also fully loaded. Hopefully I can get a few more up.

Mustangs have sucked ever since the second generation, they're just now getting decent again here recently(2011-present). Hell up until 2010 the V8 Mustang only made 315hp with the V6 making 210hp. I was looking and according to the steering and suspension specs they now have a multi-link rear suspension.

the reason mustang didn't get better during the 2000's is because chevy sucks so hard and pulled out the only competitor to the mustang. they spent years building a new camaro that was supposed to blow the mustang away, released it. then got shot down by ford with the new 5.0 that they built with a budget and a timeline that seemed impossible to get done. I am in the market for a 99-04 Mustang GT, I know the potential of this engine seeing as how I have owned one in the past and kick myself every morning when i wake up for selling it. I will post up here after I get it next spring and show exactly how cheap it is to build and get mid to low 12's N/A biggrin.gif I will however agree with one thing you said, V6 Mustangs SUCK! (I refer to them as being "fake") (until the 2010 when the HP got bumped to 300 and was getting 30+mpg)
