1986 Ford Mustang SVO review from North America
"An eager willing to perform sporty car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced head gasket when I got the car. Cost $300.
The boost gauge is very off. It said it was making 9 PSI boost when the gauge that I bought read 16 PSI.
Heater core started leaking soon after I purchased the car. I had to bypass it.
No air conditioning.
General comments?
Definitely a sporty car. Not as fast as a 5.0 but definitely close.
Out handels my old 5.0 by far. This car comes with a sport tuned suspension with Koni adjustable gas shocks and four wheel disk breaks.
It is not a drag car.
Gets horrible gas mileage for a four cylinder. (I guess it could be the way I drive it)
