Last year they gave the award to the Porsche 991 GT3, so maybe not, who knows.

Just ran insurance quotes now that 2015 GT Mustang is listed, using Gocompare Sainbury's coming back cheapest at £289, valued at £35,000, upto 10,000 miles per annum, work/home usage and a £500 excess.
Adding exhaust and suspension modifications adds £75.
Am sure closer to the time I will be able to get a full declared policy for around £300, so a very nice surprise nearly half the price of the 911.

Sounds like you're paying too much for the 911
I did my quote for stock with same value and excess. Cheapest quote of £254 for 32 year old, clean license, no accidents and 9 years NCB.
All in all very surprised how cheap they are at the moment but I don't doubt that will change by the time mine arrives!

I think £580 with track cover is a good price.
I am confident the Mustang will be sub £300 with mods declared and track cover, a nice surprise as I was expecting more like £600-£800.

Mustang is cheaper and i'm sure the amount of Porsches that have ended up in barriers or wreckless/high speed crashes will be quite high.
Not saying anything about your driving, but they're a popular "exotic-ish" fast car, and parts are silly expensive

Yeah if Mustangs start hitting trees backwards or ending on their roofs in fields, the nice cheap policies won't last long.

Which to be fair, you can see it happening!! You could gauge this by taking corners with and without traction control on, see how tail happy it really is

Judging from watching the Stunt Driver DVD it looks like an absolute hooligan and very controllable, though many people will come short of talent for sure just like with E46 M3's.

I'm in Palo Alto at the moment and have a Mustang hire car for the next two weeks, definitely makes the daily commute to work a bit more enjoyable. Not too sure about the automatic transmission though, the box on my 530D is much smoother.
Very old auto box they are using. Rumour is 2017 Mustang might get the all new 10-speed which has being co-developed between Ford and GM.
An owner took his GT PP to Willow Springs race track for the first time.
Very impressive indeed, you can see the GT3 and 911 Turbo clearly have straight line acceleration advantage but in the corners the Mustang seems to simply have higher grip levels and looks lovely and progressive at the limit.
Cannot wait now!

Hi there
Finally a UK car in Guard with the custom pack which has the silver wheels and chrome trim.
Even though Guard is a similar grey colour to magnetic it has a green colour in it which some love but I quite dislike the green to be honest. However it does show quite well what silver wheels and chrome parts will look like on grey and well it looks good. Plus the clear rear lights work quite well on a grey car.
Very happy with my decision as magnetic should look superb with custom pack even on standard wheels.

The profile reminds me of an older Aston Martin at first glance. Dont especially like that colour but depends on the lighting no doubt

Yeah its a nice colour when you can't see the green in it, but when it turns green I just don't like it at all.
