1986 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Goes mid 13's and get 25 mpg"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with the car is the first time I took the car over 5,000 rpm, the heater core started to leak. Also I had a problem with the stator in the distributor with wouldn't let the car start.
General comments?
The car is otherwise excellent and performs great for a vehicle that has nearly 200,000 miles. I take the car to the drag strip all the time and it goes 13.7's at 102 mph with an off road H-pipe, flowmasters and 3.73's.
