A friend recently bought a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 with the 6spd and 3.73 rear gears.. He's already uploaded a custom tune to it. Now I've had some quick cars in the past, but this thing is unbelievable.. 1st gear is pretty useless due to uncontrollable tire spin at anything over 1/4 throttle.. We did a 2nd gear roll start from 20mph, as soon as it hit about 3,000rpm it was tire spin all the way to 60mph, it left (2) 20' stripes as evidence.. On the second try with warm tires from a 20mph roll in 2nd gear it held traction until it reached 5,000rpm, then it broke 'em loose again.
Over his 1st 1,000 miles with "spirited" city/highway driving he has averaged 20mpg.
I'm impressed.
