So, apart from the V8 sound, does it have any redeeming features?

Every Mustang I've had has been the V6 version.  V slow.

Got lumbered with one of those Hummer H3's last time in Florida too, was supposed to get an Expedition.

Yep the V6's aren't great, but like Cocopops said the V8 soundtrack, especially with the roof down, is very nice.  :smiley:

The one I had was a Shelby special edition with the V8 Ford Racing 325BHP engine.
