First off, why did you post? Your post was a simple straight attack at me. Your post is quite pointless.
Oh yes, I forgot, you need that post count to go up.
I'm sorry if you felt like my comments were just a pointless attack. I just had some concerns about your crediblity. I was also trying to guage the relevancy of your automotive options. After a look at your profile I now see that you are, indeed, too young to drive. In light of this I realize that your anti-Mustang posts are simply those of an inexperienced kid with no real world automotive creditials.
(BTW, You were being sarcastic about that post count **** right?)
Back to the original topic, more Mustangs should be featured in GT. Considering they've got 4 or 5 basically identical versions of Civics, Accords, Evos and Skylines in the game, 2 or 3 Mustangs that span different model generations would be fair. Atleast use include the newest, most high performance model - the 390hp '03 Cobra. GT's developers seem to be fond of concepts so why not include one of the most talked about highly anticipated models in years, the '05 Mustang GT.
Some notable Mustangs I'd like to see in GT:
) '86 Mustang SVO - the precursor of the modern Cobra, 205hp turbocharged 4cyl.
) '86 Mustang SVO Comp Prep - optional factory racing SVO upgrade
) '87-'93 Mustang GT - single handedly jump started the modern sports car aftermarket in the US.
) '93 Mustang Cobra - the first of the modern Cobras
) '93 Mustang Cobra R - first factory racing Cobra
) '94 Mustang Boss 429 Concept - 10.0L 429ci 855hp 790 lb.-ft. bigblock, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, 0-100 in 5.5 seconds, 1/4 mile in 10.55 seconds @ 135.05 mph.
) '95 Mustang GT/Cobra - the last of the legendary 5.0L, 302ci V8 smallblock 'Stangs
) '95 Mustang Cobra R - second Cobra R version, 5.8L 351ci smallblock
) '96 Mustang Cobra - first of the current 'modular' engine family, DOHC 4.6L 281ci 275/285hp
) '00 Mustang Cobra R - 3rd and most potent Cobra factory racer to date, 5.4L DOHC 380hp+, 6speed, IRS. Outperformed 'vettes and Vipers in open track tests
) '03 Mustang Cobra - 390hp+ DOHC Supercharged 4.6L V8...come on, the thing should be a shoe in
) '03 Mustang Boss 351 V10 Concept - 500hp V10, 1/4 mile in 11.51 sec at 118.19 mph
) '05 Mustang GT-R Concept - 440hp DOHC aluminum 5.0L modular, a possible preview of upcoming Cobra/ Cobra R's
If no 5.0 Mustang makes it I'm giving up on GT...but I say that every time a new version comes out.
Another interesting (although non-Mustang) pony car I'd like to see is the 20th Anniversary '89 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo. Most people don't realize that the quickest Trans Am every produced was also the only V6 Trans Am. It used a 3.8L V6 derived from the Buick GNX with 300+hp @ 4400 rpm, 340 lbs-ft torque @ 2800 rpm and remains the only car to pace the Indy 500 without modification.
