0-60 in 4.4 seconds :)
Video now up
Excerpts:
"The Mustang ran away from its portlier pursuers in all of our handling tests, circling the Figure-8 course in just 24.7 sec at 0.77 g, fully a half-second ahead of the Camaro and a second quicker than the big Dodge. Lateral grip measured at a legitimate sports car level of 0.97 g. Here the more interesting statistic may be the Dodge's ability to match the lighter, fatter-tired Camaro at 0.92 g each."
editor-at-large Arthur St. Antoine, concluding "the Mustang feels like a scalpel; the Camaro a hammer."
"This V-8 burbles in a slightly higher register than the other two, but on the boil it mimics the soundtrack to Frank Bullitt's car exactly." "An engine note worthy of conversion to a ring tone." "The Mustang feels like a real car -- mature, adult, grown up, but still fun and sexy." "Snickety gearbox -- is this a Honda?! Love the positive action and short throws." "Very nice. Lots of stick, well-balanced grip. Just world's more fun than the similarly fast but far more massive Chevy."

BTW, I was the first to recognize publicly that the new 5.0 sounded identical to the Bullitt mustang. And I was the first to give folks the link to convert the sound to a free ring tone.
