I still think the best-looking Mustang was the original '64-65 notchback. No Mustang since then has equaled it.

As much of a fan of Highland Green as I am, I would still say the new Blue Ember Metallic beats it out.

I do miss my '69 mach, of which I replaced the standard 351W for the 351C two weeks before going to a Led Zeppelin concert, of which I met my new G/F.......

Here's a dedicated-video that tries to explain some of this Mustang nonsense............

Warning; It has some four-letter words in it.


This video is also very good, and is more civilly-narrated.

Its purely showboating coupled with overconfident drivers with a fundamental lack of skill

A couple of days ago I'm driving to the store and a Mustang pulls up along side of me with the loudest exhaust ever.

Not sure what he was running for exhaust but sounded like straight pipes and ear busing loud, totally -NOT- Legal. lol

Problem is, as we were going in stop and go between traffic lights and never getting over 40mph he was continuously revving and flooring his car but it had no pull!
For all that noise, the acceleration was no more than my car for the driving we were doing so I got to wondering if they still offer the 4 banger in these.

So much noise and unimpressive acceleration but as I came up even at the next light I look over and it's a young kid driving so I just laughed... lol
Another minute goes by and out of nowhere a maroon Mustang appears and then they do the revving and stomping the gas and dancing back and forth across the lanes for the next couple of lights.

Mustangs multiply...

It's true that there may have been something wrong with the engine, but, in general, the turbo four used in recent Mustangs is no slouch. While not a match for the GT, it will definitely get out of its own way.

The Yellow one is a V6 based on pony badge with Line in middle.

Its hard to make Mustangs sound bad but some ppl think LOUD = GOOD sound which is not the case.

V8 with midpipe is all you need. Some take it way too far.

This should serve as a warning to any pedestrians who may be in the area. If it rains, all bets are off.
