I got a 00 GT 5 speed the other day. My last car was a bmw sedan and I have to say that its taking me some time to get used to my mustang. Clutch is heavy and vague, throttle reponse is weird, interior trim is falling apart and the backlight in my dash works when it wants to. Also the bushings in the rear end control arms are shot and my rear end is all over the place. Honestly what they say about ford quality is somewhat true...
But damn, this car has some power! theres an onramp near my house I like to blast up, the road it merges onto has a 35 mph speed limit. In my BMW I would floor it up the ramp, and by the time I merged onto the road I would be going around 35-40. Did the same ramp with the stang, and even without going full throttle I merged at about 55mph .
I cant really say I like the car. The little electrical issues and the problem with the rear end are pissing me off, makes it hard to drive on the road when your dash isnt lit up and the rear axle feels like it connected with a slinky. I got it for 3 grand and I dont think I could get aother car with near the amount of power this one has. The mustang is also a really simple car so unlike my BMW I feel confident I can do most of the work on it myself.
Ive always wanted a mustang, and now i finally got one. Ill probably be asking for a lot of help on the forums, so thank you all in advance!
