When he's reviewing, he's actually not driving the red gt/cs. Notice the car he is riding in has a glass roof and the red gt/cs does not.

Did anyone notice how much that stang pulled on the camaro in the beginning montage?

Correct me if I am wrong. You can not get the Brembo brake package with the GT/CS package.

At the 3:30 mark of the video Matt talks about the options on he car he is test driving. You can see it is a California Special car, but he claims it is equipped with the brembo's.

You are right. Read my above post. He isn't driving a GT/CS during his review. They just used footage to make it look like that

As someone mentioned, the footage of the car from the outside is different from what Matt is actually driving. He is driving a car with Brembos, glass roof, etc. Good review. I think the 5.0 sounds awesome from the inside, can't wait til I get mine.

look at that fat steering wheel
he looks like a beefy guy and that wheel dwarfs his hands
my 2009 jetta's wheel is thick like that, makes the wheel in my 2003 gt feel anorexic

This isn't the 90's any more!! Its a lot of car for the money, simple as that!! Plus you dont have to get it loaded and with the CS package.

Your right, 42k is a lot of money for a Mustang, and any comparably equipped car. Like the saying goes, if you wanna play you've got to pay. My new Maxima I leased this past August stickered for $39,854.

Premium GT with Brembos and 3.73's can be had for under $35k. When you consider inflation at or near 3% a year the price is right in line for what it should be, except you get a lot more car.

That video that was up the other day of the 3 GTs driving through the backgrounds stuck behind a motorcycle must have been footage from this. it had the same red CS, and it had another red and another blue.

anyhow, car looks friggin sweet. If I were buying though... the only options I'd want are the gears, the brakes and maybe the nav.

as a side note... i dont really like the GT/CS grille thing going on there. its a little meh for me

i look at it like this
my 2003 gt premium with polished 99 cobra wheels msrp $25695
ordered 2011 gt premium + brembos, 3.73, security pkg msrp $36180

subtract the brembo pkg and 3.73s because in 2003 nothing like that was offered and msrp would be $34090
the difference in 8 model years is $8400

so a new platform, new 6-speed, new motor making 152+ hp more than in my 2003 and whatever else in refinement enhancements = $1050/year

according to historical inflation through 2009 my 2003 gt would cost $29900 for a difference of $4205
that equals $600 over the 7 years because 2010 isn't in the books yet

so could i make my 2003 gt as good as this 2011 for $4200
No way
