I've had my '90 LX 5.0 since day 1 but I'm ready to get a new car. My requirements are that it has to be faster than my stock 5.0, be made in North America and be priced under $40,000. The candidates are: GTO, 300C Hemi, Magnum R/T Hemi and the '05 Mustang. Well I dropped by the Ford store today to size up the Mustang and I truly mean size it up because I am 6'4". Well it has about the same headroom as my LX, less and more confining legroom and less rear legroom when the driver's seat is all the way back. I drove a GTO at a GM autorama a few months back but it was just a modern LX but overpriced and totally bland. So that leaves the 300C and the Magnum. Somebody had a black Magnum in the customer parking area at the Ford store, The interior space, the Hemi and the looks make the Magnum my choice. Still going to keep the LX for weekend fun!
