1991 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"The last of the affordable muscle cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch Replaced after much abuse by me. I replaced the oil pan seal during the clutch job to tidy things up a bit.
General comments?
I still have the BMW, 733i so I have a decent benchmark to compare handling characteristics of the Mustang with.
The Mustang has a "Gritty feel" that puts you in touch with the road. Hard cornering can be exciting to say the least. If you don't know where the edge of traction is you will find out just how fast the back of the car will come around to the front and take the lead.
I used to think this car was a good handling car until the BMW. Now I know better. The Mustang is very fast and for the dollar it is a great bargain.
It will just about mash your eyeballs back in their respective sockets on a launch from standstill all the way up to speeds just over 100 without any trouble. It is a blast to drive and that is what these cars are all about.
Interior? The Interior is spartan, but who cares! It's about driving performance!
