how is the mustang far from performance? It handles like ****, but with just a few mods, you can have a mid-high 12 sec car. I have a few mods to my gt and I can consistantly break into the 12s and the car has 150k miles.

You might even be able to find a 4v for around 13, you can't call them inefficient.

Remember, you may have more power in your car, but you got there with modification and with a turbo. I don't like owning an american car, but the toyota/lexus cars that put up the same speed numbers are too expensive or have to be boosted to hell and I'm not a fan of either.

plus, you can't get that nice v8 rumble without being inefficient.


Yeah GT's have great performance. BETTER THAN A CELICA!

The 2008 Mustang GT has a V8, 300 HP and 320lb-ft of torque. Sounds pretty good to me. Owning an American car has nothing to do with anything. Ford has receiveed a really bad reputation which is understandable. Not all Fords though are the same

Just experience and fact I'm posting

...just wondering if you had narrowed anything down? just curious.

also, I know that a 98-02 camaro is a mullet mobile, but those ls1s are very reliable, the car is cheap, and it's "fast" so, that's all 3... fast reliable and cheap.

I just cannot stand the interior on them, plus the doors are a mile long and the seats are too low for me, otherwise, I would have gotten the camaro instead of the mustang.
