Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Below 3,000 revs the 5 litre engine doesnt feel powerful at all. At 70mph in top its only revving at around 1500rpm where the engine power output feels quite low. Top gear overtaking often feels lethargic without dropping down a gear or two.
The worst part about the car is the rear suspension. Pulling quickly out of a junction requires concentration as the rear end fishtails easily. Sometimes it feels like the back end is doing the steering which makes the car feel nervous at speed. I'm having the suspension modified soon to see if that helps. If it doesnt, we will be saying goodbye and I will probably go back to owning a Mercedes.
The Mustang is a good looking car but its definitely not a luxury model. Access to the rear seats requires you to power the front seats forward which takes time. Even then access is tight. The doors are huge so parking can be a worry. Overall this car irritates as much as it pleases. The V8 roar is the best part of the car. The sub par handling really detracts from the pleasure of owning one. To any would be bank robbers take my advice and dont steal one of these. It may have 450 ponies on tap but you'll never out run a BMW on the streets.
