They just started building them. The first magazine road tests came out on the 17th.

For about a year I have seen reports that the new Mustang was going to be up to 300 pounds lighter than the 2014. This is my take after reading 4 of the first road tests:

The GT is actually almost 200 pounds heavier than the 2014 (what a porker).
Even with 435 HP the GT runs about like a 2014, CD test(0-60:4.2sec/1/4 mile:12.7).
The GT with the performance pack stops well (107ft from 60) 3 ft shorter than the 2014.
Of course with IRS it handles and rides better.
They improved the price tag....fully loaded Premium GT over 45K.

I may start looking for a PP, Glass roof, Premium, 2013-14 GT.
