Mustang 5.0 yes or no

Post by andyfanshawe » Tue Sep 26, 2017 8:03 am

Ive had american cars for years.
Still got two now. a 5.7 litre camaro (1991) and a 1990 ford crown vic 5.8 litre.
The torques from the V8's are amazing.
Go for it! You wont regret it.

Although.............RHD american cars over here??? Doesn't sound right!
Part of the uniqueness for me with them is that Im sitting on the left to drive it. Love it.

Andy.

have one in today for the weekend :D I can't believe how paint on a nearly brand new car with >5000kms can be so trashed.

50:50 shot and some others. They really do capture what a muscle car should be about

I dunno why I love them haha it feels much slower than the Porsche or the Xr8 in the corner (both manual and modified so not really a fair comparason) But the interior is good for me (positioning and build quality wise) , it slips sideways at the fientest idea of a blipped throttle, sounds nice under load but too muted. Too common on the road now too.

But I just love em.. Definitely an emotive purchase rather than a logical one if you get one..

The ONLY mustang worth having is an "original" Boss 302.
Left hand drive only and probably the same price as getting a new Bentley.

If you can get a new, right hand drive Shelby you "might" be happy, but not after you get the fuel bill.
The rest are just not any good.
Sold the Z4 M Roadster and a 911 Carrera S now I have a 2021 Z4 3.0i
