They grew on my a lot....going from a cobalt to that is definately a righteous upgrade. Congrats on the purchase.

Congrats and good call on the Boss wheel.
What is it with all us GM guys going Ford. GM better hurry up with the 6th Gen or the migration will only increase, especially after reading about ZL1's only running 12.5's.

I am all about what a car can do in a straight line too but GM did say "they are focusing more on the ZL1s road course ability over its drag prowess" (quote from HOTROD Magazine) I like the newer Mustangs better than previous years but if I was in the market for a v8 rwd car, I wouldn't even hesitate to get a Camaro over a Mustang. That being said, good luck to everyone with their new Mustangs!

Check out the ZL1 videos on chevy's website and see what time it ran the Nurburgring. It takes real engineering and power to run that course that fast. If I remember, right it runs almost two minutes ahead of the SS.

Good luck with your new ride! Be careful, I've read the transmissions in those things are not too strong!
