I got it last month. It's an amazing ride and I'm glad I got it in stick. That was my biggest hurdle, whether to get automatic or manual. I had driven automatic before and it's just so boring. So I went with stick, granted I didnt know how to drive stick so that was kinda nerve wrecking. Stalling it here and there, not getting the grasp of the clutch but after alot of practice I'm glad I didnt go with automatic. It's just so much fun driving stick, so many things to learn and perform on the road, i.e. hard launches, power shifting etc, it's just awesome. There's a mustang/saleen connection goin on the road, guys in these ride come up next to me at the light and rev their engine giving me a nod or a thumb up, I do the same. Love it.

Gohan Bhai, you overdid your car.
But cool pictures. Are you posing in front of your car? And you are letting the kid take it for a test drive?

it's 300 HP, 4.6 liter engine and 320 torque, there's lot of power under the hood and you really feel it in 2nd gear. 0-100 I haven't tried yet though I've been over 100 several times and it's a breeze. I tried 0-60 but my time isnt anything to write home about. I need some more practice with power shifting thats the only way to achieve 0-60 in 5 secs.

is it V8 or V6 or straight6
should be a V8 with this size 4.6
is it charged? super or turbo . ..dosent look like
0-60 in 5, i doubt it
350HP turbo charged straight six i tried last went for 5.6s to go 0-60
BMWs 135i 310HP goes for 5.6s 0-60
this mustang should be between 6-7sec for 0-60

nooo, it's 0-60 in 5.1 secs I just rounded it up to 5. And yah it's a V8 engine but it aint supercharged. And common this 'stang doin 0-60 in 6-7 sec? prolly a v6 honda civic will get you those times.
But anyway these times are drag times performed by professional drivers, their shifts are fast and presise. I dont know how good of driver you are when it comes to stick but you can definatly do under 5 with 350 HP turbo charged engine, just need to practice those shifts.
Like I said before, power shifting is the way to go. It's performed by "not" letting your foot of the accelerator while depressing the clutch and shifting from 1st into 2nd gear in a very quick and fluid motion, you'll experience the boost of speed like your body's being thrown out the back window and your rear tires will chirp. It's not good for your engine and transmission if you do it all the time but every so often just to get the feel for it is not bad. Sorry if you already know all this.
