I honestly have no idea what this means.

I'm curious to see how it will compare with the Camaro SS on a road course.

Anywho, I haven't been keeping up with all of the press releases of the new Mustang (I mean, who has that kind of time?), but are the sequential indicators now standard? I couldn't help but notice that the two that changed lanes while I was in a position to see the back side had sequentials, and damned if something so silly doesn't immediately draw your attention.
And respect goes to those two Mustang drivers for actually using their turn signals to change lanes.
Oh yeah, nice write up, Wes. You've put the 2010 Mustang on the list of cars to look for in 2020.

They took an old-n-busted car that was a poster child for Detroit lagging behind, the current-gen Mustang, and fixed it.
They didn't spend billions on a new platform. They cut costs, but spent cash in all the right places. Too little too late? Probably. But damn, that's how to put lipstick on a fucking pig and make it work.

I also suspect that Mr. Gaines has been dipping into the beverages tonight.

As long as the few pieces my body comes into contact with regularly are soft (and every piece has good UV resistance), I want the lightest stuff possible. I can't see the logic behind a soft touch dash. Unless fancy soft touch is indeed lighter.

The dashboard is a stupid place to make soft (especially the top of it). You're not going to be resting your hands on it (frequently) or leaning your head against it or sitting on it. Though I guess a soft touch dash is nice in a collision if you're not wearing a seatbelt.
UV resistance is a big deal, too.

However, I do have a super cute VW Eos to show you.

Is the shifter as sloppy as a toilet plunger in a bucket of rocks?

So. What does Financiapocalypse-mode Ford feed you these days? That's what I'm more interested in.

Wow, 300 hp increase from a cold-air thingie? I'm truly impressed - where can I get one? The old 15 hp GT must have been a real slug...

Get yourself one of those $4.00 cocktails on the plane Wes, you've earned it.
