Mustangs have their place! They are just very different cars than what this forum is a fan of.
I remember way back... My buddy had a '83 GT 5.0. Had a carb. He worked the car up, intake, bigger Holly carb, MSD, exhaust and bigger rims/tires. The MT was ok and the car WAY TO rear happy but FUN TO DRIVE and back then nothing new was much fun to drive!
I then got a 86 GT 5.0 which had a 5-speed MT and Fuel Injection. Another friend drove an older BOSS Mustang and another had a 5.0LX MT.
At that time another bud bought an RX7 and we were all like WTF is that thing!?!? Not nearly as fast but was a completely different driving car! It outlasted our Mustangs many times over! Mine leaked, creaked and rattled itself to death! Paint failed. My buddies early 90's LX also fell apart! SO BAD that he won an argument and the dealership repainted his car because the paint failed SO badly in just a few years! He sold it, bought another GT some 8 years later that he hardly drove (garaged) and still had problems with! Sold for next to nothing because the value was nothing! He swore off Mustangs after that.
Ive rented Mustangs in recent years; always interested in another bout with a pony car. Just not happy with it but they DO get better each version!
