. That mustang is prob great for burn outs,drags from light to lght and sounding great but the thing is heavy and handles like shit.
I do not understand why an American car maker cannot stuff a big ass v8 into a light car that HANDLES well and does not cost a ton. They could if they wanted to!
I got into it with this dude on autoweek.com about the new mustang GT. He says that it doesn't have a IRS because they wanted keep in line with the drag racers. Now, how many Mustang GT's do you see? I see more V6 Mustangs than V8 GT's, and the GT I do see the poeple are either men 45-65 ( not an issue
), or a blonde, whose husband is a Mustang fanatic. I forgot the stats, but the V8 is not selling too well, and how many of those actually go to people who want to drag race? Not many. So why would FORd want to keep the solid rear axle, just for a minute sample of their buying demographic. Well because it was cheaper to keep the Solid Rear axle than to adapt or design a new one
These are the same people who said that the Lincoln LS didn't have a manual because it couldn't handle the torque of the 280 HP V8, yet they make Mustangs standard with more!! Cheap asses
GM does make some good V8 cars, they are just thru their European and Aussy brands, (Opel and Holden, respectively)
I think the new Camaro will be the shit, trade in your Mustang and get a Camaro in black!
