I've seen em too, look alright. I do like how they sound. But, i really don't see myself getting one.

I too am also waiting on what Chevy does with the 6th Gen. Can't wait!

I have no fear though the new camaro is right around the corner and im confident they'll meet and exceed what ford has done with the mustang.

I saw them for awhile before they were available to the public since Roush has a testing facility here in Naples, I didnt care for them then and still dont and I am 50/50 Ford & Chevy, like both brands but the new Mustang doesnt do it for me.

Other than that, I'm very disappointed that Ford didn't depart further from it's previous designs. If they wanted to make an all-new Mustang, they should have done so and made the design different than tradition. I for one have absolutely zero love for drag racing and much prefer the twisties - which would almost seem counterintiutive considering the cars I've owned over the years. But each one was setup to take turns, not just go fast in a straight line.

I'm very interested to see how the GT350 compares to the more track ready Z/28. I know on each side of the fence, they believe their car is superior, I'm just happy to see the competition going on in the first place.

It looks like a slight hump,must be for packaging reasons.

They must need the room to clear something.

It certainly wasn't when the 1LE made it look silly...

IMO: Ford made a slower, less responsive, uglier and heavier version of the Mustang and called it "new".

a 1LE and a standard Mustang GT isnt comparing apples to apples.

Performance enthusiasts are the real winners. Never before have there been more choices of cars with the performance levels where they are today. We should be rejoicing every new performance car that come out. Every time one manufacturer raises the performance bar, we all win.

You're kidding right? They tested a SS Camaro with the performance package(Just happens to have the option code 1LE) to a Mustang GT with the performance package......it damn well is apples to apples. The GT even had six piston brakes on it, and the savior of the mustang, IRS. And still couldn't out do a 1LE.....

Saying testing a GT with the performance pack against a 1LE isn't fair is just an excuse. GM out did ford with the 1LE, period.

A friend of mine just bought his wife a '15 Mustang with the ecoboost and performance pack. I think it's a pretty nice looking car inside and out. He said it's getting close to 25 mpg in town which is damn good. I'm betting the 6th Gen Camaro will come out with something comparable.

FASTDIESEL · 12-19-2014, 10:22 PM

My buddy bought a '15 GT Auto a couple of weeks ago. Just the base GT. It's FAST! 12.65 in the 1/4....stone stock (dealer tags still on it)!

But its smaller inside than my SS (front seats are narrow). Looks really "plain" all over. Not impressed with the looks, but she will haul.

The comparison between the 2015 GT Track Pack and the 2014 SS Track Pack (AKA 1LE) is certainly a fair comparison of apples to apples. That is the one I was referring too. The 1LE was cheaper and a far better performer despite being on an older platform...

Did you miss this comparison video?

Suddenly my comments make a lot of sense don't they?

a 6.2L LS3/L99 Big Block

I was talking to a guy at work about an LSX 454 and he asked if it would fit in my 99TA

They think its bigger externally just because of the CI or L.
