I know its a mustang, but I sat down and read the Motor Trend article on it and my jaw has been dropped since.. its the first all new mustang in 25 years.. all new platform... and the GT model is packing 300 horses... Its a ford.. I've owned 2 fords in my life and both haven't pleased me immensely, but the sheetmetal on the new 'stangs is just ****** sexy in a very retro way, 52/48 weight distribution so its relatively well balanced... Anyone else wanna comment beside "Its a mustang it sucks soylent green *****" or "my RX7 can beat it" (because we all already know it will)

true, but I think the base should come with a 6-speed, I mean, they need to step up, mercedes are coming out with a 7speed

Question

I'm not sure what i would do with 7 gears, maybe wear out my arm, that would be an ASSLOAD of shifting...

I doubt you would use all of them in day-to-day driving.

The rumble of an American V8 is unrivaled...and while many people compare Mustangs to Civics, I still smile when I see/hear GTs and Cobras.

I'd rather hear a big old 60s/70s v8 rumble and roar.
