yea. I would def get a mustang if youre looking for speed. Fast, cheap to make faster, loud. The 8 will blow away about 95% of the cars on the road around twisties. It all depends on the OP's driving and what he wants the car for.

topgear, technically it's bought.... insurance and all is on the car. i just refused delivery.. since it's not what they presented it to be.
i think the 8 is a perfect match. i need a car that needs to be driven hard and can be thrown around corners. a car that more nimble than fast.

If they can find me a 6 speed, then I am getting a 6 speed for sure. As for my driving style, I've owned a 94 Stealth and 2000 GTS..... both of which had a too many mods done.
So I am praying they find me an 8 like I want in my price range.

Read post #27. Its soooo amazing what 3 minutes on google can do. And ironically enough it came right back to this forum. 0-60 in an AT at 7.5 seconds.

funny i thought the GTS had the same 180 stock as i had in my XRS....but i had the 6mt then too you drove them i OWNED one.....mine was far from a dog but an AT tranny 8 is in comparison.....and i said the AT is like molasses not the 6mt.....but then the 6mt isnt that quick in comparison either......if OP is looking for more power then stay away from the auto's......or get another car
You are right about the hp. It is 180. I must have been taking a hit off the crack pipe when I typed that.
