Your review was about the most thorough I've read, and you hit on the areas most really care about. As you become more familiar with it with more seat time, you should update your review. I'm sure others in the future considering a GT-500 will benefit from it.

thank you. i plan to do some performance testing tomorrow with race fuel, but on an unprepped surface. my butt dyno says this car is right with my zr1 up to around 150-60mph. more and more impressed by the trans as I drive it as well.

I guess SO! She was moving out in that last 60-150 video. Sounds great, and looks even better. Gotta love that DCT.

Just be happy we aren't in the year 1980 with a Mustang GT touting 118hp with the 4.2L V8. LOL. 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. Some testers took 11+ seconds to 60. 17.0@85mph in the 1/4 mile. Your GT-500 is quicker from 60-130 than the 1980 Mustang Cobra was from 0-60. Aren't today's high performance cars awesome?!!

I remember my brothers first Fox body in high school. It ran 14.2@97mph and everyone went crazy. Lololol. Today a v6 Camry can probably do that. Haha.
