I think if anything, the current 5.0 GT is the closest thing there has been to the original 5.0 days. I bought mine just about as soon as they were available. It was a $28k car. That car has run 10.40s and still has a 100% untouched OEM longblock in it at 3400 lbs. I've done absolutely nothing to the trans except change the converter. Let me be clear, no nitrous/blower/turbo either. You can't even begin to match this kind of performance with a Camaro or Challenger without spending much much more. Yes you can run the price way up on a Mustang with options, but they don't have to be that way. I feel the current car is the best Mustang ever made, and Ford has a tall order measuring up to it with a new one.

A little off topic so please forgive me but I wanted to answer Kdanner, a 1984 Mustang sold in 1984 U.S. price for $6.750 approximately weighed 2530lbs and some were bought for less than $5,500 and but the lowest option model that weighed 2350lbs even with inflation you should be looking at $11.656. far from the $28k car you bought. They've optioned them to death. This is a reason young men are not the biggest buyer of Mustangs it's the women who have been the biggest consumers of over expensive cars.(Please this isn't a women versus men)

At 2530lbs that was what a 2.3L car with 88hp? I just don't see how that compares with the current car well at all. Even the base V6 is 305hp now. I know people who have bought those new in the $18k range. They'll run in the 12s with very minimal work.

Here are some better photos of the 2015 Mustang. I think it will make a cool looking race car.

To many sharp edges for me. Just like the Camaro. Maybe the designers had something to do with the B-2. I'll have to stick with the Challenger. I am putting a 4Cam in a forty ford so I'm not anti-ford. Even have a 31 Ford but it has one of those belly-button SBCs.

Wow !

I have a 95 GT and the trunk lid opening seems tiny.

After looking at the pic, that 2015 trunk lid opening looks to be really small.
