My impression of the New Mustang
I drove a GT this evening. It only had 450 miles on it, so I didn't
want to really thrash it before break in. Not my car. Not like my impression is worth a lot, but here it is anyway. What I liked: Front grill/fascia, and rear fascia: This is what attracted me to the car to begin with. I've been driving old Mustangs for decades, and this just looks great. Dash: Looks great, easy to read, not too busy. Drive train: Pulls well to 5,000, shifts very smoothly. A little too quiet maybe. Very easy to drive, with an extremly smooth clutch. Suspension: Wow, this is where this car really shines. It takes hard corners really well with a strong feeling of confidence. Even fast corners over rough pavement were easy. What I didn't like: Front fenders: Too boxy looking, too square. Looks a lot like the new M300. Hood: Too flat. Needs a small scoop or a shaker. Seats: you sit on them, not in them. Not enough lateral support for the corners that the suspension is capable of. They were also a little hard to sit on. Exhaust: Definatly needs a better sound. Will I buy one? No, I don't think so. It didn't give me a woody. Maybe when the SVO version comes out. Or maybe a MachI. -- ..boB 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged! 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1983 GMC Jimmy - Mountain Beater 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1966 FFR Cobra - Ongoing project |
