1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 review from North America
"Hi-Po hot rod low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has needed almost nothing fixed since I bought it. I have upgraded the air intake, fuel system, charging system, and added a host of aftermarket electronics. Also I run a 125 hp shot of nitrous on it.
General comments?
Not too good on gas, but for a cheap hot rod it is great. The stock 75 amp alternator is a must upgrade though.
