I think they would be happy with the interior though. Its one of the better american ones. I think when the new cobra comes out they will review it, and be suprised.

From what I've read, they won't be getting the GT. So if they did test the new Mustang, it would be the V6. So, they'll obviously complain about the lack of power.
Have they ever gotten the Cobra?

I drove the V6 mustang and the power is fairly decent, S7 would be incredible, I think that he will love the viper.

Put it in perspective....The M3 CSL has way less power and tq than the Viper so it was able to use most of its power on that wet lap....500hp, 525 torque is not easy to drive on dry much less extremely wet track. The fact he was able to get so close to the M3's time is incredible..The Stig is the man...I cant believe he was able to drive it so well considering its "bad handling" according to Pumpkinhead  ....Its always been said the Viper is not a car for the feeble of driving skill...In the hands of a pro it will run with the some of the best...Oh and by the way its a convertable :shock: :shock: ...The Coupe will be faster...yikes.
