Mopar guy I know test drove a GT--took a 5 speed out and drove it pretty hard. That was his main comment--cool car, but a lot of wheel hop. And this is a guy who is used to driving big HP 60s Mopars. Surprised me cause I hadn't heard it here before.
Gas tank thing seems to be a common problem. Not sure Ford has coughed up a solution yet but they seem to be aware of it. I assume it's some kind of venting problem. Keep us posted.

I guess they were looking at the sales figures for the GTO or something. Anyway, looks like no RWD V8 2 door vehicles will be coming out of DC anytime soon, which just means less competition for the Mustang... :nonono:
You'd still notice the single cutout with dumps. Dumps are cool, though--but maybe too old school for the type of person who is buying a new V6. Most guys with 60s Muscle cars don't go with dumps, even when they are era-correct for their car. Anyway I'd stick with the single exhaust on the V6...
I don't like most of the rest of the stuff tacked onto this car (in general I prefer the clean look of the stock car) but the quarter window louvers look right at home. What do you guys think? What are some other examples you've seen?

It has all weather tires and good weight distribution. If you know how to drive it should be great. If you are an inexperienced driver who has only driven FWD cars you might need to take it easy for a while.
There was another post on this a while back so you're not alone. I don't remember if it was resolved. I assume since you're in England you can't ask your dealer... Do a search here and at Brad's... I would assume it is some kind of venting issue.
Hot Rod has been getting a lot better lately--Freiburger has done a great job with it. I goofed and let my subscription expire so I might have to grab that one at the newstand.
