That's about what I had initially expected. But after reading all the Mustang trolls on this forum, I expected more. I'm sure they will all now call this fake news, Car and Chevy Magazine or something else stupid. They are not going to want to admit that the $50k Mustang that was tested isn't faster than this. So sad... Especially considering that there is a lot to be excited about with the new Mustang, like finally having dual mode exhaust and Magneride available. I have those in my SS, and they are awesome! Plus the A10 should be a huge upgrade over their last auto trans. But then again, those things cost money and add weight, so I'm not surprised it's heavier and more expensive. Either way, it's a nice car.
Hopefully the A10 Mustany can close the gap a bit more with the A8 Camaro.
