Yeah unless they have the slug 2.3L 4 banger with an auto trans. My mom had a 1990 vert 4 banger and that car absolutely sucked.

You've obviously never driven a '65 with a 170/C4 combo.

Gutless ain't the word for it.

Couldn't pull a sick trollop off a porcelain device.

The mustang is an american icon, they look fast setting still. No matter which engine they have, it's till a mustang, however, nothing say's mustang like a nice throaty V-8, just ask ole Bill Ford hee hee.

This one is a little older, and afaik it isn't for sale. But it sure sounds pretty.
Sorry for the bad video, it was taken on a cell phone.

Brian, the best thing might be to drive all of the Mustang models and drive train options.

I've been a Fox Chassis Mustang enthusiast sine 1997. This latest generation of Mustangs is nice and very improved cars compared to the earlier ones.

These new modular motors are completely different than what the old Windsor mills felt like.

My father picked up a 07 GT last September. That is one heckuva car. I think he averages around 20mpg driving to work and whatnot and has gotten 25+mpg on the highway. I think he paid around 28k for it fully loaded minus the auto transmission.

I got my 07 from a lady that won it in Reno, on a slot machine, I got with 550 miles on it, it had been sitting from Oct. 06 until Aug. 07. I got it for 18k. Running to work and back it gets 25.5 mpg, open road is over 30.
