SOOOOOOOOO I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!

 

I just got back from a test drive at Eastleigh Ford in the new mustang. God I need one!

 

I only got a short 15 min spin or so, and couldn't hammer it, cause rain and a £2,500 excess!!!!

But wow, it's like a Zed on steroids. Lovely and comfortable with a nice tone to the exhaust/engine, yet lay into it a little and it's waves of torque and noises are fantastic!

 

Got a thumbs up and a honk from a trucker at the lights, made me feel good!

 

I don't have much else to say, I'm too excited haha but it was definitely an eye opener. Sorry but anyone going from a 350z for an upgrade to maybe a 370z or sub £40k car, please consider it!

 

The interior finish is a damn side better than pictures have lead me to believe, and there's something about it, it's special :)

 

Just PLEASE no 2.3 Ecoboost.

Photobucket isn't working right now :/

Ummm I saw Chris Harris' review and agree with the points he made. It is a big, fun, feel good car :)

I can't comment on the GTR as I personally haven't driven one, but you can't go wrong with either!

We're currently in LA, and curising around in a Camero. Wanted to try a Mustang but these were all they had as a convertible at the hire car place.

 

Have to say the similarity with my old 350Z is remarkable. The noise, the slight reluctance to rev all the way to the red line, the lack of luggage space, the way the fuel gauge drops. It's even got a V6 that pumps out around 300bhp. I now see why the Z got comapred to these 'muscle' cars.

 

It's all good fun, especially when a Mustang, Charger pulls up at the lights and eveyone pretends they are in Fast & Furious....Than my wife reminds me she's 30 weeks pregnant :)

 

I bet the V8 Mustang must be some experience, but I'm a old man these days, fun for a bit but after a few miles much prefer the silent running of EVs to all this drama!!

I drove the same one at Eastleigh. How did you leave without ordering! I couldn't do it. Got a Blue one on order for delivery in August/September. I'm so excited!

Yeah exactly the same. Heel toe will be hard with it, especially at the go peddle is a lot lower than the brake.
