How many 12.6's@114 did you run traction controll OFF if thats not any good? Any?
MY ONLY COMPLAINT!
It weighs 4200+ race weight. That sucks ***.
Ok, while we are on this topic about Mustangs. I have seen these Mach 1 '05-06 Stangs. What is the deal on those? I mean, don't get me wrong, they look badass! Have all the attributes of the old Machs, the flat black hood/spoiler, wheels, window accents. I used to have a yellow 1971 Mach 1 and I LOVED that car! What are the HP ratings on these cars?

But to answer the original poster, I read in the newspaper the other day that they are coming out with the GT350H, the "H" standing for the rental company Hertz. This is how it was back when it came out in '66 I believe and you could only rent them at Hertz. They are all black with gold stripes and they look very nice. I will try to find that newspaper and scan it if I can find it...if not I will search on my newspapers website.
*EDIT: Well, I couldn't find the article at my house or on its site, but I found this...

12.2 @ 117mph is pathetic for a blown 500hp 4V 5.4L
Mustang with Ford GT heads and all the other goodies. There is no two
ways about it.
As I stated previously, 12.2 @ 117mph was with Evan Smith driving.
That means that the common man would run 12.70's @ 114mph, which
again is pathetic.
Yeah I dont understand why you'd go through all that trouble with the new GT500 when isnt the previous 03/04 CObra almost as fast outta the box and doesnt weigh almost as much as my car!!!

The blower setup definitely adds 100lbs or more. As for the rest of
the weight, apparently Ford just didn't find limiting weight all that important.
