Mustang Reviews

[dis3as3d]

Came across these and I think they are awsome videos. I dont know if you european guys get to see these very often but they are very under rated in other countries for some reason. Enjoy the videos :D

those are awesome, After seeing that I dont know if Id buy a Rouche mustang... didnt seem like it was worth it compared to the 03 Cobra. it had less hp?? they should make it like 500-600hp then it would be amazing

[themailman34]

thanks for those vids.

The 03 Cobra is better than the Roush, its got more hp and is a lot cheaper

But theyre both nice :D

It seems they spent all the money on getting the power out of the engine and neglected the rest of the car, cheap interior...handling is ok, and like they say a 1979 platform on a 2003 car....see my point?

So? where else can you get a car that runs in the 11s, is happy being a daily driver, and cost less than 40 grand?

[fedezyl]

yeah, for a month, then everything will fall apart....and then you'll be lucky if you can move it...nothing is cheap for no reason

These arent luxery cars, they could be but that isnt what they are designed to be. These are cheep sports cars for those of us who dont care about cushy interiors. These cars are designed to be for people that are not about show and all about go. The 03 cobra is using tried, proven technology from the lightning so it isnt going to fall apart. The chasis is fine for what it is, if it aint broke then dont fix it.
This is a great sports car for those who cant afford 80+ thousand dollar cars. And you get near the performance.

[fedezyl]

Performance wise it's true, but that bit about not fixing what's not broken....well true, but how about innovation, creating...that's the problem with these cars, it's all so tried and true that well...they fall behind on the standards, I mean...next year what will be the next thing, a bigger blower? stiffer suspension? bigger tires? nothing that can't be done with any other car...yes it's cheap but is it good? more a less, it has undeniable straight line performance, but it's old technology show's itself as soon as you take the first curve...
Sorry, I like the Mustang (the 1960's one) but it's about time Ford starts investing on bringing the Mustang to the 21st century...and yes, it can be done for a good price too..

I'm not really interested in this kind of car, having a typical European view on cars ;)

But those kind of reviews are very well done IMO, and very enjoyable to watch!
Thanks for the links!

fedezyl, your view is totally stereotyped of american cars. Its not going to suddenly fall apart. The main reason mustangs fall apart is because they arent extremely expensive so their care is often neglected. For example, if you had a Saleen S7 and a Cobra, which would you take better care of? It doesnt mean the car is necessarily poorly built. And as for it not turning, I think it has excellent handling for its price. My question is, whats so wrong with the way its built? Its not like they have original shocks and springs on it from 1965, just because its full frame FR car doesnt mean it has to be old fashioned.
