the mustang is great, even when it breaks its still drivable. it has blown 2 plugs out of the right head, and the fuel pump died once, and the idle air controller seized up a year ago. other than that its been great. simplicity is the key to success, and there is no frills with that car. also, with the sct i now have reduced the probability of a check engine light because EGR functions are turned off and the rear O2 sensors are off as well.
