The mustangs are definitely getting better and better. That's all we can ask for as car fans. I hope the camaro steps up its game tho.

I used to hate Mustangs and I never thought I would like them. I'd actually have to consider them now. They have a lot of power and some decent handling to back them up. I'm well aware that it's not going to compare with the RX-8's handling, but it's still pretty nice. I could reasonably see myself enjoying one.

The GT500 looks great. I definitely wouldn't mind being seen in one.

The Whipple supercharger on the Super Snake adds 16 p.s.i. of boost, increasing the power output to a ridiculous 750 horsepower and 710 lb-ft of torque. If you felt the need, you could easily spin the tires from first gear all the way up to fourth. The Super Snake can do a standing quarter mile in 12 seconds flat, crossing the line at 120 mph.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I would expect a faster 1/4 mile time with that much power. I'm guessing it could benefit with some better tires...

I saw a 2012 GT500 at my local Mazda/Ford the other day as I was waiting for my oil change. They had just literally received the car from ford. And I tried, but for some reason they didn't let me go for a test drive

I think I saw some nice Recaro seats in there
