An American legend. The original
pony car and muscle car, born on April 17th 1964. The car all other manufacturers tried tried and are still trying to emulate. 1964-1973 first generation Mustangs are considered classics, 1974-1986 were not so good. 1987-1993 are the popular
Fox body, and 1994 to present Mustangs are sweet, esp. 1999-present. A new generation will begin for model year 2005.
Ultimate Mustangs include the 1969-70 Boss
429, Any Shelby Mustang, any Cobra, and any
Saleen,
Mach 1,
Boss 302,
GT's, etc. GT's are always great and are very reasonably priced.
To everyone who is bashing the Mustang, a few words. Camaros and Firebirds may be quicker than most GT's, but 1) They look like crap (except WS-6 Trans Am) and 2) I'd like to see either of them step up to the 2003 Cobra or any Saleen, and 3) Oh wait, GM discontinued them because they can't sell any.
For the
Japanese cars will the silly winey exhaust.....putting 500 HP in a Civic is like putting Granite Counter Tops and a
Plasma TV into your mobile home at the trailer park....why bother? Why not spend the money on a nicer unit first? Now, a 3000 GT or Supra is nice, but a stock Saleen s351r with
510 HP, yes stock with 510, will eat any stock Japanese car (including
NSX), and most souped up ones. Put a few dollars under the hood of that Saleen and look out, no beefed Japanese car will touch it.
Mustangs are the best.
Example:
Dude, I just spend $90,000 on my Honda Civic and put 17
turbos on the 75
HP 4 cylinder, and that Mustang
Saleen s351r just beat me by 9 car lengths.
