1990 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX review from North America
"Camaro killer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Around 190000 miles the rear main seal went out. Tranny was a little touchy. Other minor repairs. But what do you want at 200000 miles??
General comments?
I loved this car to death. There are so many relatively inexpensive aftermarket mods you can do its crazy. Factory exhaust was wayyy to restrictive. Offroad H-pipe and Flowmasters took care of that. Watch out in the rain though, it's really easy to lose the back end if you don't know what you're doing. NEVER lost to a Camaro in my 'Stang.
