The crappiest Mustangs were around 1979, when the Capri was basically the same model.
I think they are putting in fake exhaust sounds so that pedestrians (especially blind ones, or distracted or young people, or animals) can hear the car approaching. Otherwise ev’s are pretty quiet.
It looks like a cop car.
‘74 Mustang II. Might as well drive a VW bug with flower decals.
Hey! I owned a 79 Capri!
It was my graduation present.
I lucked out. Bought a 2009 Chevy cobalt. 338 k miles later, it still runs, though held together by magic head gasket repair liquids and “stop smoke” oil additives. Loses about 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Still can “pull” in 5th gear. Paid for in 2014.... Not a bad deal.
My rules: buy the basic version of a decent car model that was introduced 2-4 years before you buy the car.... Rarely take engine over 3,000 rpms. Change oil, other fluids as prescribed. Change spark plugs every 60k-70k miles. Don’t buy bells and whistles you will rarely use.
P.S. last 3 cars I have had, exceeded 250,000 miles. One was stolen at 250,000 miles...I am sure the cars would have lasted longer, had I been more attentive.
FYI
Like all EVs, the market shows demand for the units with the extended range batteries.
The backlog is largely those with standard range. IMHO.
P.S. my brother owns a Mach E GT. Fastest car I’ve ever driven, including three different race cars .(Blueflag moniker comes from racing history)
Knock it if you want to, but get back to me after you’ve driven it in sport mode.
When like Ford, you stand for nothing, you present little of value
If (execs aren’t that smart) they thought of a performance e-car it’d be optimized for torque and not try and also be “green” and also long range.
Single lap at Sebring or Nurburgring would be the goal. E-cars react instantly and go off the line as if powered by Hodgdon, not electricity.
Instead design by committee generates soccer mom style with sports car badges.
That oversized electric golf cart fanboi will love it to go along with his goofy Hot Wheels thing.
Coulda been a nice “Torino GT”
Mustang has made some really bad models , the 71-73 fastback was awful and I won’t even mention The Mustang II.
The 1980 Mustang was a real dog. Don’t ask me how I know.
*** They need to add a fake exhaust smell too.***
No they need to make that real. For anyone retarded or gay enough to buy one of these fake monstrosities.
And btw, I realize they are not “old school” old school, but I own a 2005 Mustang and 2015 Dodge Charger RT with the HEMI and this kind of crap is why I refuse to get rid of either of them.
Is it four door? Kinda looks like it to me.
I actually own of those in that exact color scheme... 1978 Mustang King Cobra... anemic 302 2V with a 4-speed and T-Tops.
$224,995 For that Shelby. Ouch.
