I just got a new 10 Mustang GT coupe. Of the 8 Mustangs I have had since 66, this is the best. It is even quieter, handles better, and quicker than the 05 I had. The way they changed the dash makes it much nicer.

I like the headlight brow giving the car a angry look. I agree that the 2010 is better eye candy than before. Suttle chages make it sweet and I would love to have one. But I am an old Mopar guy and want a new Challenger too.

That looks metallic though. What a nice stance.

I like the Grabber Blue, like the sequential tail lights.
Other than that I like the 05 better - you can get a sequential tail light kit for them too.
I'll take another one just like this thank you - I'll add Le Mans stripes in charcoal this time though.

read the bottom

if you do read the bottom of that page it says they almost called the mustang the t-5... they actually did call them t-5 i have worked on one. it was a 66 or 67 and it was a mustang but didnt say mustang anywhere on it. instead of mustang emblems it had a big t with a 5 laid over it and if i remember right it has a crown or sumthin made into the emblem, they told my to be extra careful with the emblems, i guess you cant getem at all, period.
oh and for those wondering it was a car built for the german(? i think)market and they already had a bike with the mustang name so instead of buying it out they renamed it... if i remember all thins right.
No, its not a windsor or a cleveland, its a three fifty TWO!
