Does it have a mind of its own and kill human beings like those inherently evil, bad seed, SUVs?

Too bad they’ve effed up the front end and the tail lights. The front end looks like it was inspired by an early Gran Torino.

its battery must be way bigger than the Chevy Volt’s.

She’s a beauty, but can she go around a corner without the rear end trying to race the front there?

Ford has done the best job with the retro cars. I guess they learned when they royally screwed up the T-bird.
Mustang is the best.
Challenger is pretty good.
Camaro is bloated, and overpriced.
Charger is a pig.
Tbird was underpowered, and just didn’t work.

Me too, this car would come in handy once the 2012 elections go “Max Max Beyond Thunderdome” ...

The 2003 SVT Cobra I had seems pretty tame, by comparison. The supercharged DOHC on that model was rated at 390HP, but dyno testing by owners confirmed it was more like 425HP.
They usually made way over 350HP at the wheels, stock.
Getting rid of the junk IRS on those and going back to a live axle in 2005 was a brilliant move by Ford to please the muscle car crowd. Muscle cars are supposed to rule at the dragstrip, not the autocross track.

Oh, and I forgot the GTO, because it’s so forgetable.
It was a decent car, but in no way was it a GTO.

Beautiful, but impractical. Plus I'm past the age that I could justify this type of vehicle. But I wouldn't mind it for the weekend. It would be a blast if I could avoid the CHP. Let's see what the Camaro comes up with to match or surpass it. Looks like the old rivalry is back.
If the Obama automotive people find out about this, they will be angry. Anything over 100hp is bad to these people.

If you see it now, then it’s not of 2013! Duh!
To: DPMD
650hp is not the top, perhaps of a production car.
I wonder what my insurance company would say when I called to insure this one! Probably click buzz.

The GT 500 has always been badass, but this one is a true ground breaker. The new generation of Mustangs are simply
OFF THE HOOK. Even the V6 is over 300 HP.
For a sticker in the low 40s, you can also get the BOSS 302. Designed on the race track by Ford Racing, it's dominating literally everything it goes against on track - the M3, Vettes, Porsches.
444 HP - with no turbo/forced induction
7,500 RPM redline (stable to 8,400)
0-60 3.93 seconds
YouTube video
1/4 mile: 12.3 seconds @ 115.8 MPH
Capable of 1+ lateral G
Laguna Seca lap times:
Mustang GT 500 1:44.32
BMW M3 1:42.96
Audi R8 1:40.75
BOSS 302 1:40.21
Motor Trend at Laguna Seca Raceway:
BOSS Beats BMW M3, Corvette Z06, Mercedes SLS AMG, Porsche Cayman, Porsche 997 Carrera, V12 Aston Martin, Shelby GT 500.

Nice list. But you left off the best muscle car America has on the market today.
556 HP.
Shoot. I'd be happy with the grocery getter version....
