no... had to let her go... something about "not needing two mustangs" blah blah blah... you know... wife stuff

she sold fast though. another gem.

 

[matt1956]

I don't see the machine gun ports. Isn't that a "Bond special"?

Not a gun, but new acquisition

2011 Mustang GT Convertible.

Yes, that is a 5.0
Yes it has over 412 HP
yes it gets about 25 MPGs
Yes it is freaking sweet!

Wow! 25 MPG out of a 412HP 5.0? That's awesome and it looks great too!

 

[matt1956]

Yep.
hell the v6 is getting 31 mpg and 305 HP.
Ford is doing some amazing things with their engine develpoment.

and I can honestly say, this car puts that HP to the ground very, very well.

[Keystone]

Nice little guns...one or two things in the "next to buy" queue before I get one, but it's certainly on my short list. Enjoy it!

If you actually realize 25 mpg, you're not driving it correctly!

 

[MasterShinken]

Not a firearm but still awesome!

brand new 2010 Scion tC

lol... yeah... I'm not gonna get that.

The car actually has a feature called skip shift. if you are driving moderate (like a wuss) when you shift from first, it forces you to 4th for fule saving.

but if you driving it like a mustang is ment to be driven, you get to play in all 6 gears.

I had a Z28 Camaro ('96) that had that stupid "fuel-saving" feature. Hurts me inside a little to know that someone still thinks that's a good idea on a muscle car. Sucked when it kicked in though since the only way to bypass it was to go to fourth, release the clutch a little then go back to 2nd gear.

I very quickly found a company that made a little electronic do-dad that fixed it

well... like the guy in car & driver said... if you are driving it like you are supposed to, it doesnt kick in, lol. but i will keep an eye out for that. cause it is annoying when it does happen.
