Is it a Mustang? The daughter is wanting to trade in her new Honda Pilot on one. I hear about it daily.

Thats not just a mustang that is a gt500. Nothing like pure american overweight muscle car.

they lack the horsepower that the old mustangs had. Pure looks is all.

uh, the 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 is the most powerful production Mustang ever made. Ever.

Nothing but what makes a car go, turn and stop (and a couple of mirrors and lights to make them street legal). With the top of the line engine (a production Honda 4 cylinder - I'm not kidding!) the biggest limitation on 0-60 time is how fast you can shift!

The Atom driving experience:

0-60 in about 3.1 seconds, 0-100 in about 6.9, 0-100-0 in about 11 seconds. Comparable for the top-of-the-line Ford GT: 0-60: 3.9 sec., 0-100: 8.5 sec., 0-100-0: 13.2 seconds - still freakin fast!

The GT does have the Atom beat on a few points: it four seats and somewhere to put some groceries, oh, and a roof...

I think the 'old guy' in Sandy's photo is Carroll Shelby, himself! As for looks, I like the old (original?) Shelby Cobras more than any of the GTs:

That's almost like comparing a car to a motorcycle, which is pretty much what the Atom is as far as functionality goes. I mean, how fast can a crotch rocket go from 0-60?

If you're going to spend the $$ for the Mustang (which incidentally, I do like the new body style MUCH better than anything since the 70's), you might as well get this:
