Yes, it appears so because I don't think he would just run as fast ... well I would surely not. I would keep pulling away and say bye bye.

I did a few WOT test runs today on an empty road, shifting manually through all the RPM near redline while lifting the gas before shifting to get that real manual sound effects. Boy she sounds good! Cars behind me couldn't even keep up. Definitely puts this on my face.

A Mustang 5.0 is quite a bit faster than a fourth generation GS350, or any GS350 . We're talking 6-8mph and 1 second faster in the quarter mile. And it's limited to 155.

Every time I get in the car, all day long. Seriously, I use all 306 HP and then some.

I'm so OCD with mines, that I'll drive it quickly, however not sure I want to punish it WOT. It's only 6 months old . But it's comforting to know that you can, and she can handle it with no side effects. Will add WOT to the bucket list

I WOTed the V8 GS-F during a test drive a few weeks ago and it made me and my sales guy grin even bigger.
