Yes – when we grow up we want a garage just like Jay Leno’s. Leno recently had the chance to get behind the 2011 Ford Mustang GThttp://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/imgs/grey_loader.gif
(http://www.egmcartech.com/2010/05/26/video-jay-leno-test-drives-the-2011-ford-mustang-gt/#) and seemed really impressed by the new GT (as he should be).

I think it's the best Mustang since 1987.

I'm going with 1986 b/c thats when they hit either 215 or 225 HP with the Fuel Injected 5.0, which was really a 4.9 - but whose counting..... But the '87-'93 GT's were real good looking.

I had an 85GT, with FI, but it didn't have the mass-air. I believe that 87' is the first year with the mass-air and the 225HP rating. If I remember correctly, the FI on my 85' was a plate style...looked like a carbeurator sitting on top of the manifold.

Holy fantastic endorsement from Jay!!!
I wonder if they just gave him the car and $100,000 cash for that?

I like the new Mustang. Especially more so now that it has the mighty 5.0 back under the hood. Think about it...

5.0 = 412
6.1 = 425
6.2 = 426

Tell me who is making the most per liter...Ford is...they are serious. And i think this new motor is going to really take off.....
