Absolutely Perfect — American muscle at it's finest. Feels like you are driving a Nascar. The only problem is it can get you in trouble real quickly if you don't watch the gas pedal! I would love to get some slicks for it and see then what it could do in the quarter mile. That's all I have to say.

Love It And Still Own It. However, I've Recently Upgraded To A 2013 5.0 Gotta Have It Green Coupe. — Fast and clumsy, depriciates in value as it sits in storage, overall good build quality but interior is very plasticy (is that even a word??), not the best fuel mileage, but haven't any major mechanical issues with it since the purchase. An absolute blast to drive, sounds awesome!

'08 Mustang Gt — This vehicle is fun to drive and fast enough for the highway. Gas mileage is a lot better than previous toys. Did not care for the shifter that came with the car-swapped that one out for a better one. Would recommend this car to anyone.

Everyone should drive a good car once in life

If you own a new Camaro remember its just a copy, just like in'67

Very Refined For A Muscle Car — Smooth at speed, very neutral in handling, very easy on gas if I am. Good ride to scare your friends in and occasionally yourself. The car wants to live where the police would not approve, Loud music makes it want to go too fast also.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

I Love This Car! — The S197 v6 is an amazing car, you really get the bang for your buck. It is fairly fast for a v6. It has about 220 hp to the flywheel with a cold air intake and it gets about 28-30mpg on the highway, which is always nice in these times :).

Impressive, Bul Lots Of Room For Improvement — This car has some serious kick, but I am disappointed that Ford couldn't get more than 300 horses out of a 4.6L V8. The braking is astounding, and the handling is impressive. Again, I'm disappointed that Ford took a car built to be light and powerful and made it really heavy. The car has been in the shop every few weeks since February, but that is because of poor work by the mechanics, not the car itself. My Mustang is very loud on the interior, but a powerful stereo makes up for it. The fuel economy is absolutely horrible, no doubt about it. This car would be a blast to drive, but, unfortunately, it's an automatic, so the only satisfaction I get is showing off my aftermarket parts. I would recommend a Mustang only as a Sunday driver. This is not a practical daily driver.

08 Mustang. — What more can I say it's a MUSTANG! Would like to install a supercharger though, and performance handling package. Quality is OK, had to have back window replaced because the seal leaked, but they took really good care of me when fixing it. Styliing is great! it's a MUSTANG! Mileage is not a factor owing 300+ horses! Fun, what can I say it's a MUSTANG! the most fun you can have on four wheels!
