Default Re: Mustangs More Than Xfires!

Very few people buy cars for their mechanical design features. If you don't believe it look at the ads - guys with one arm around a babe roaring down the road! Or colors or cupholders or seat material, etc. Most don't discuss G's, times, power curves, blowers and all that good stuff. In this country, people want images not performance. If the performance will improve the image, then they want performance.

One of the reasons I like this site is because there is a core of people here who care about the design, mechanics and performance. Still, a lot here are primarily interested in the image but that is OK. It is there money and they can do what they please. Personally, I want something that performs straight and in the twisities.

Unless I wreck this damn thing (a possibility I guess) I plan on having it around a very long time. I have never seen anything so well design for the road yet affordable. In a lifetime, you don't see this happen often.
