Re: obviously the best mustang ever! This is a really nice Mustang, dont know about the best ever . . . the Boss 302 and Shelby GT350 were really nice too. But this thing would be even more of a beast, if instead of the cast iron block, they used an aluminum one, but I'm sure they didn't do that due to cost, but that would make this car even more of a beast.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! Only 300 made, and the only guys who own them dont supe them up. Imagine if i had one, it would eat Vipers. Then I'd take this thing to a Honda Ryce Meeting and white smoke on them. I'll cook ryce for them.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! This is an awesome car - easily the best mustang ever brought out - oh - except for the GT500

Re: obviously the best mustang ever! In one of the mustang magazines, one guy installed a blower on it, and according to the article, it left the vipers and vettes in the dust. Without the blower, the mustang was quicker on the turns than the vipers and vettes, but lost acceleration to the vipers on the straight aways.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! What pisses me off is the chevy guys. They hate ford so much. Im not a ford guy, i like every type of car(except honda). They compare the Z06 to every mustang. The 2003 SVT Cobra was designed to beat the hell out of the SS and Ws6, it is smoking them bad. The new cobra wasnt meant to go up against the ZO6. The new Z06 is a superb car, I have never seen a Corvette move like that. The Cobra R and 03 Cobra are almost equal except for top speed and they both beat the C5 vette. But the Z06 is a different story, they are slightly slower than a Z06. COBRA R : 12.8 q.m.(supercars has the wrong #s on this bad boy) 03 COBRA: 12.7 q.m. 03 Vette: 13.2 q.m. 02 Z06 : 12.5 q.m.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! What's your beef with Honda? The type of racing I compete in, Ford is useless, even the acclaimed Escort, and "excellent" Focus have difficulty keeping up, and the Mustang? well, suffice it to say that neither high end models have created much of an impact on the scene.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! Umm...maybe that's because they were never designed to do so. Did ford every try to market the mustang as a Rally car...? I guess with that reasoning we could say that even the high end civics haven't made much of an impact in Pro Drag racing!
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! Both the Escort and Focus were designed for Rally racing, neither did all that well. The Mustang is supposed to be a good track car, i.e.: pavement performance car, yet even on Tarmac/paved rallies for which it has been used (though not for long, once the drivers realized what a mistake it was) the Mustang hasn't been all that great. Anyway, the point was that while so many people seem to enjoy bashing Honda, there are forms of racing in which Honda is better than Ford. Other examples than Rally: Autocross (though it's debatable which is better), F1 & Indy cars (Look at the Jaguar vs. Bar teams), Grand touring (generally the NSX has more cars in the top 10 than Saleen Mustangs, even though there are more Saleen Mustangs entered). Honda has made a HUGE impact in a number of areas: F1, Superbikes, new Technologies (did you know that not only does Honda hold the record for gas mileage in a production car, but also the record in global Mileage Marathon, with their car achieving 2269km/litre, to put that into perspective, 30km/litre is considered to be phenomenal), also (to the best of my knowledge), the 1971 land speed record breaking (with an internal combustion engine) Honda Hawk at 464.4km/h (288.56mph) which has since been broken, but held the record for quite a few years. And now, with the unveiling of the performance hybrid drivetrain Honda has set another goal to be achieved (once it was unveiled GM finally began their own hybrid development program, though they're far behind). Where has Ford ever made much of an impact other than Drag racing and a couple years in LeMans? The point is, if you're going to have a beef with a company, at least look at their achievements first.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! "Both the Escort and Focus were designed for Rally racing, neither did all that well." Not from the factory they weren't. "The Mustang is supposed to be a good track car, i.e.: pavement performance car, yet even on Tarmac/paved rallies for which it has been used (though not for long, once the drivers realized what a mistake it was) the Mustang hasn't been all that great." It still wasn't designed for rallies, period, pavement or not. Rally racing is alot different then track racing. "Anyway, the point was that while so many people seem to enjoy bashing Honda, there are forms of racing in which Honda is better than Ford." Yes there are. There are forms of racing that ford is better in, what's your point, I don't have a beef with Honda. "Other examples than Rally: Autocross" Mustangs make great autocross cars. Lots of people race them, ask DSMowner and Chris V, they both autocross. "Where has Ford ever made much of an impact other than Drag racing and a couple years in LeMans?" One very simple answer for this question is the assembly line for building cars. "The point is, if you're going to have a beef with a company, at least look at their achievements first." Again I don't have a beef with honda (although I know you are talking about the other person who made some dumb comment about honda).
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! why is it every where i look pepole are bashing and insulting each otherand there company don't u see they are both good companys so stop the bicering both companys have there strenths and weaknesses so stop and just look at all that could be acomplished if they joined forces
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! But does it have the 5.4 litre V8? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DOn't just look at specs you tards. Look at the heart and soul of the cars.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! Um it is one amasing car and im not sure about the best mustang but definatly in the top 3. The other two are the gt500 and the 2003 cobra (in my opinion) but it is all the same an awsome looking car with good performance to go with it
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! Not really. the Mustang Boss would clearly blow this out of the water.(If you're looking for stock) Modified would be the Mustang Cobra Saleen SR Widebody. I'm not sure, but i think that the 1967 Mustang Shelby GT 500 is about the same as this.
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! This car is awesome it looks as good as a saleen maybe better i really love the body kit on this car <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/emoticons.html"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="http://speed.supercars.net/cboardhtml/emoticons/smile.gif"></A>
Re: obviously the best mustang ever! but that its the best mustang ever really dosnt say much, its not like ford put the bar all that high.
