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

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.

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.

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.

Bests 6.2 liter Camaro SS lap time by over 2 seconds at New Jersey Motorsports Park

...we’re living in a golden era for American muscle cars

Pfffft. Please.

While I'm happy to see some of these brands make a comeback, they are a far cry from the real American Steel of the 50's, 60's and 70's.

The 1974 2.3L 4 cyl was much more environmentally friendly...

I’ve always wanted an American Muscle Car....I guess I will have to buy a junker and restore it. One of these days...

How much trouble could you get in with a 200-mph ‘Stang?

Well, that depends.

If you're going in a straight line? Not too much trouble.

If you want to turn at 200mph? Big trouble. (Live rear axle? Ewww...)

Ohhhhh.....I’d have one of these if I could justify it. “Honest dear, you can put a lot of grocery sacks in the back!”

I would rather have an Aston Martin.

Sounds like a great car though, for straight line driving.

Compare this car like a GOP candidate and what does a person see?

Yep the 2013 Mustang and the 2013 Camero means fun times with the muscle cars are taking the stage. The Camero will be a litle short on HP as compared to the Mustang.
