motorjock205 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 My wife bought a new 2010 Mustang GT a little over a week ago, it has an automatic transmission, and supposedly 315 HP now...This thing is really quick! I'm starting to believe that it may be just a tick faster than the SGT with the 5-speed...I know if we were racing, I'd sure have to be on top of my shifting game, that is for sure! Anyone else out there notice the quickness of the 2010??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else out there notice the quickness of the 2010??? nope, theyr 100 pounds heavier. good looking though, if it were a woman.....if any mustang were a woman.... on a side note if you have the 3.73 track pack then yes theyr faster(lower gearing wins every time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to open it up between Marathon and Fort Stockton this past weekend...and she hits 140 on the speedo pretty darn quick too...Doesn't quite feel as stable as the SGT at those speeds though...

Glenn Greenwell Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 My best friend ordered a 2010 GT nicely equipped and and took me out for a ride the day it arrived, they are very nice inside, but there is no exhaust note, doesn't have that deep throaty GT sound when he reved it, did you notice this. I was impressed with the build quality and fit/finish. I had to laugh when he showed me the wrinkle in the racing stripe package on the trunk that needed replacing. I had just gotten mine back after being out on my own stripe issues for several weeks. The interior certainly improved from the 05 GT and my 08 SGT, but I wouldn't trade him for any amount. I love my car.... GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT4578 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Carl, put em on the dyno. Im pretty sure the 315 ( on the 2010 ) is a conservative number, just think guys we had to pay a gas guzzler tax for our 315hp Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my car.... GG Actually the exhaust note on my wife's new car is very close to what the SGT sounds like. It has a very nice growl to it even from inside the car. I noticed that they have added a plastic hose that goes from the air cleaner box to the fire wall and this is something that is supposed to "enhance the engine sounds" for the ultimate driving experience...LOL Yeah, Right!

LOL Yeah, it is a shame about the gas guzzler tax thing...I've griped about that from the very start! My SGT has always got very good mileage even when I'm flogging it!

Why are you wondering? You have both cars, have your wife drive hers to a remote road and race her. It's probably the only time you'll be able to beat your wife without going to jail!! Or, she might beat you. Find out and report back please!! Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else out there notice the quickness of the 2010??? "2010 Mustang GT, Seems quicker than SGT" I'm going to suggest you need to check your "seems" generator against data: today seems a bit cooler than yesterday, but as a matter of fact the thermometer says it's two degrees warmer, at the same hour.
