My parents bought one of those (1980) Mustang with the 2.3 liter engine. I swear that thing had less than 100 hp. It was almost as if you had to start the car by pulling a lawn mower cord!!!! Good thing we got rid of it after 3 years....

Buying a Ford is like voting for a Democrat.
That's not the opinion of THESE guys:

What You Drive May Indicate Who You'll Vote For

Someone looking at your driveway may be able to get a good idea who you'll vote for on Nov. 2, even if you don't have a yard sign proclaiming your choice.

According to the new study by Kelley Blue Book, you're more likely to vote for President George W. Bush if you drive a Mercury, Ford, GMC or Chevy.

If you drive a Hyundai, Toyota or a Subaru, you'll likely go for Sen. John Kerry...

That front end reminds me of Shelby's GT cars.

Nice looking car!

I saw the GT40, Mustang and Shelby (concept car) at Bacarra in Laguna Beach back in August when Ford was getting ready to their dog & pony show.

I didn't even know Ford had re-designed the Mustang, but it is a great looking car. Each had a lot of people milling about - of course, the GT40 is what all the kids want.

The best is still yet to come. The Cobra version of the new Mustang will be out in 2006 and will have a supercharged 5.4L engine making 500hp. I traded in my 01 WS6 Trans-Am for an 03 Cobra and after $2k in performance mods enjoy spanking corvettes and other assorted bow-tie cars.

My black with black vinyl roof, 4 speed , 289, '67 was one of my favorites. A real good looking car.

You have no proof to back up this statement, nor others in your profanity strewn post.
Besides, it has NOTHING to do with the thread topic.
May you be banned, and your handle assigned to one of the Mods to use for future humor against you.
May the Mods use your handle with more honor and integrity than you have.

Thank you AM for reducing him to an ash heap and restoring this thread.

It looks so much like the old 65s, even the inside, with the addition of the headrest of course.

The car was one of the worst-handling things I've EVER driven (and I've been behind the wheel of many real "interesting" cars).

You'd have liked the one I drove in High School. 56 T-Bird, 68 GTO Judge engine and tranny.

*sigh* Ahh, the Mustang. I was a little girl when they came out in 1964 and immediately fell in love, although I have to say they got really ugly by 1968 or so. I finally got one - a 1966 - in 1978. I regret having sold it several years later.

Yeah, I think so, too. It has the look of the classic Mustang, but with modern aesthetics. I'm quite certain it's going to drive a heckuva lot better than the old one did, too. I mean, the original Mustang was really a re-bodied Falcon, and the Falcon was a dog on the road.

I agree. I think it will drive a whole lot better than the old one's did, and it has that classy look to it.

Cars just work better now. Thank goodness they made this one rear-wheel-drive. I can see the rubber burning.

I can see a lot of tickets in the making with this baby. LOL I've owned several Fords and I've never had any problems with them. Three Lincoln Town Cars and two Explorers. In fact, I own a Ford Explorer now and it's a great ride.

Congratulations. You just made the absolute stupidest comment I've read on FR in almost 7 years on here.
