Welcome home Jeff.

I too have been very intrigued by the new models offered by Ford. It seems like the American automakers have finally caught on, as to what people want in a car.

Thanks Barry, good to be home sonow and all.

Makes me seriously wonder what the 11 Shelby GT500 would be like? Aluminum engine, 540 HP car built with the same or better quality than what I drove would be a bargan if you figure $:HP?

I might be so impressed because I had such low expectations until i turned the key and heard the rumble of the throaty exhaust and the low end torque off the line and the lack of rattles (in a convertable). The steering was very tactile unlike the disconected feel I was expecting.

All in all well done. The biggest challenge is getting people to come back and try the prodcut again! Guess that is what they are doing with Mike Rowe?
 
You say it was a 2010, that means it still had the crappy 4.0 L V6 (only 210 HP IIRC). The new Mustangs are very nice overall (seemed nicely built when I sat in one), but the new, hugely improved engines didn't come until the 2011 model year.

Aside from that, yes, the newer American cars are not the crapboxes of yesteryear. Now that Ford has effectively revamped their lineup, they seriously need to do something about Lincoln.
