A thorough multipage review: performance and handling reviewed here: http://www.thecarconnection.com/review/1088913_2015-ford-mustang_performance_3

Recaros look sweet. I know they are fully manual and have no heating or cooling, but what adjustments do they have?

Perhaps a better comparator for the GT is the upcoming M2. The price delta will be less, and the practicality will be more comparable (although the back seat in an M235i seems more usable than what the GT offers). Unless the GT totally wins me over on a test drive, I'll be waiting for the M2...

^^ Agreed - he really needs to get over himself.

It is a much more compact car (21" shorter), so this is hardly a surprise. Personally I'd have preferred the S550 to have been halfway between the S197 and BRZ in length.

I've seen a lot of his reviews (he has a show in Canada) and they are generally geared toward the Consumer Reports crowd, not the enthusiast. He has a tendency to repeat things he says in his standups when he's in the car (and vice versa). And he sometimes misses critical facts (here for example...

Tails are awful, but the faux gas cap is more interesting visually than the plain old GT logo, that's for sure. Wish we got those decent-sized side mirrors here - as one reviewer remarked, the NA side mirrors are tiny. Not a great idea on a coupe with virtually no over the shoulder sightlines.

Agreed - this thread should be obliterated.

It should be noted that this reviewer is also a part-time pro racer so his comments on the handling have a bit more weight. Here's the written review he did on the GT: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php/autonet-ca-review-3776.html

Check the asphalt, it's got a green tinge to it, the color balance on the camera is off, making the car appear too green.

I thought Bloomberg had a rep as a quality business information source. This review was next to useless, fire the guy.

I can't believe they won't fix the sightline issues with this car - how many sales have they lost due to the pillbox windows? Two seconds in the driver's seat and I knew I'd never buy one unless that problem was addressed.

Check it out IRL first - those photos are clearly HDR enhanced and may be overly flattering to the paint.

I don't think any of the Recaros are heated or cooled...

Listening to those 2 WR recordings back to back what strikes me is not that the EB sounds noticeably phony but that it is too regular in its sound - the frequency cycle of the engine throbbing does not vary, the overall frequency mix stays very constant. It reminds me very much of good...

Thanks! - now that I know what I am looking at it's obvious, a bit like one of those doubled optical illusions. I have never seen a car antenna like that before, I guess it's needed for the 2-way com for MyTouch services?

Yes for HP, no for torque. HP values are down several per cent in the UK due to that.

^ True - but Ford was handing them out to a group of reviewers, they'd have to been complete morons not to have them in production-spec quality.

It might be cheaper to buy yourself a Logitech G27 sim wheel with shifter and 3 pedals and practice in a realistic sim, turning off auto clutch and autoblip. Assetto Corsa or Pcars are good titles. This will give you about 80% of the real experience. Once you have mastered the in-game shifting I...

I'm in a similar position. It's going to be a great time next year shopping for a nimble, fun car with so many new options on the table. The 911 is out of my range (did love my father's vintage 911 though) but look at the list of sub-$70k (CDN) cars to test out!: new MX-5 - gorgeous! (I'd want...
