Doesn’t need it. The recent improvements in the LA on the Mustang are amazing and they are even better for 2011.

I have a 66 GT 350 Shelby Mustang. I own a small autobody shop and have restored several Mustangs over the years.

Note that the 2010 GT with only 315 horses is all over the Camaro SS like a cheap suit already...

Or, if you have a fancy driving cap, Gran Turismo.

Comment on the 2010GT from a recent test:

“Body control with the Track pack is astounding. It doesn’t pogo, doesn’t shimmy, doesn’t slump to the outside and clop its way through a corner. The ride may be firm, but nothing throws it off the slot-like path you cut through turns. And somehow that live axle deals with pitching and pocked pavement with much of the sure-footed poise of an independent setup. A Track-pack Mustang used only at the drag strip is a Mustang wasted.”

The 2011 handles even better:

“As we’ve previously heard, rumor has it that the ‘11 Stang with the new Coyote V8 and Track Pack with Pirelli P Zero Corsa R tires was able to lap GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan at the same rate as a current BMW M3 – fine company indeed. “

I just bought a 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 with 1800 miles on it. I plan on modifying it with Ford Racing Performance Parts that include a short-throw shifter, axle-back exhaust, upper control arm, panhard bar and a supercharger upgrade that will produce 605hp.

Just the fact that you looked out the rear window at all indicates that you are getting old. I never looked out the rear window of my old Camaro or my old Mustang because the flashing lights that would tell me that I was going too fast was enough of a warning for me.

The only time I ever looked out the rear window of either car was because of spin-outs in the snow in northern Illinois. And yes, I am also too old for a car like that.

Nope, had a Gran Torino, 351 that thought it was a 390, but it is long gone. Always liked the Mustang but never have owned one.

Nice car!

I’m an inept mechanic at best but I have undertaken some small projects on my car. Next up is brakes. I’m trying to decide between 2 kits. One is the standard front drum replacement with disks and the other is a replacement kit with 4 new drum brakes supposed to increase braking effectiveness about 30% and replacing the single master cylinder with 2 cylinders. It’s pretty much a necessity since I live in the mountains. Can’t decide though. The disks promise better braking ability but it’s apparently more difficult to install. Since I’m not too handy with a wrench it’s a difficult decision.
