Ford Mustang


I was fortunate enough to borrow the new Ford Mustang from the Classic Car Club a few days ago.

This is what Clarkson has to say in the Times Online.

What are my impressions? Great looks, but other than that, very very cheap!

The live rear axle meant that I had it sideways around once every 10-20 miles. The most interesting moment was in 3rd gear at 60mph on the motorway. I eased down the throttle and the rear stepped out. Fortunately not scary for me as I've had excellent training from 1st Lotus (highly recommended) Come on Ford! This car is based on the medium sized Jaguar S-Type. Give it the same suspension!

The engine sounds nice, but needs a louder exhaust! Come on CCC, please…

It’s an interesting car, but personally, I’d take a second hand TVR Chimera every time!
