The male driver of a V6-powered Mustang, with its 210-horsepower engine, clearly has "enough" power. Probably more than enough. Having just rented a V-6 Mustang at Ontario airport recently, I can honestly say that there were many situations, as I was driving to Rancho Mirage, that the car was seriously underpowered and so I totally disagree with the "more than enough" assertion. |
