Motor Trend got the Mustang around Laguna Seca faster then the R8 or the M3. It is a fast track that rewards torque, but still impressive.

If you don't like the soundtrack during the hot lap......you don't like cars.

Impressive indeed. Shows how a lot of development can turn around a supposedly inferior design.

Love it!!! Very impressive indeed! Certainly no complaints here on the soundtrack, I could get used to listening to that every day!

Nice... so Ricky from Trailer Park Boys is now doing laps for MotorTrend?

Soundtrack from 2:25 - 2:55 , want my alarm clock to have that to wake me up each morning

If anyone gets SpeedChannel, they had a 1 hour special on the building, tuning and testing of these cars. Worth the watch IMO.

And this wasn't even the Laguna Seca version sportsfans. I don't like the orange...and it doesn't have Sync...so I'm out.

I read a road test report somewhere that they'd put the "normal" key in that drawer where you put "stuff"...and use the sport key all the time...sounds way better!

Very nice! Thanks for posting.

The Mustang is a near perfect blend of old school retro and new school goodies. Now if only they offered it with flappy paddles too...

Wonderful car! That guy didn't seem like he way trying much though.

Is the splitter road legal in Canada?

Doubt it...but looks like you could get away with it

The splitter is shipped with the car. You, or the dealership, slap it on. At least that was what I had heard.

Isn't Topgun getting one of these?

How did it beat the Z06, GT-R AND the SLS?!? Holy!

rrocket · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2011, 01:35:17 am »

I suspect the new GT-R will fix that.

...(and the "new" Z06 with Carbon package beat the Mustang)

What would be illegal about the splitter? splitter= front airdam yes?

Turbo Bob · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2011, 07:20:43 am »

It looks like it would take someone's feet off in a slow accident.

Similar to the Viper ACR I suspect.

Sights and sounds of the Boss302S testing. Sounds great at 2:15!

Oh...and BTW...here's the car configure tool on the US Ford site!

Hey, if you can't have Grabber Blue...Yellow Blaze Metallic looks pretty good!
