    Top 10 Mustangs

    Just stumbled across a gallery of Mustangs:

    Re: Top 10 Mustangs

    The problem with the Mustang is - also it is a beautiful and very classy muscle car, the technology sucks. The car feels the same like a Chrysler PT Cruiser on the road. And be honest, the interior material is like a Matel-Kids-Car.

    Re: Top 10 Mustangs

    The front looks good, the back needs work.  

    But the mustang has always been and must be a large volume money maker for Ford. It must sell very high numbers in the US to make sense. For that to happen it must be relatively cheap.Simple economics.

    Combine low cost and the FACT that the target audience demands a solid rear axle and that determines the final product.

    But at 30K  for a Bullitt 315hp version and 40+ for a 500 hp shelby  version with HID lights and a decent stereo. it is tough to justify your statement. What technology are you missing given the price?Smiley  Don't tell me electronic nannys, because Mustang is built to burn rubber and fishtail around corners.

    I think the mustang, as always delivers great value. World beating value.

    I just checked and the STEAL of the entire auto industry is the Dodge Challenger RT with 20 inch wheels for 30K and this engine;

    Mustang has addressed a very specific target group and was very successful with it.

    The car delivers a lot of burning rubber and horsepower for the dollar, but not much handling and speed on the track.

    You nail it Eunice "a lot of burning rubber and horsepower for the dollar, but not much handling and speed on the track"

     Still have to agree - I love the Mustangs. Its a myth behind. And the new Hemi is for sure a monster.
