It would have been a good video if the horse kicked him in the face mid sentence while he was sitting in the car saying 300hp. That would have made me laugh. But, seeing how that didn't happen, the video was dumb, and clearly bs.
Meh, chill out guys. Don't get me wrong, I love Mustangs as much as the next guy, that's why we're all at this forum after all. Compared to some of the other cars they test on that show the Mustang is really not all that and it seems to me the Europeans like to lean towards road racing and not straight line performance anyway. See it for what it is; the poor man's go fast car.
Yeah they always bust the US cars on that show but who cares? I don't think the US has much to offer the European market as far as vehicles anyway. Plus I think they pretty much make up for their performance bashing with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKJXf_CkCds video. They admit that the V8 Mustang has had and probably always will have a ton of charisma. It's just cool and that's good enough for me. Forget the Brits.
"So, greatest car ever? Well, it's changed the world, mobilized a generation, redirected the way we thought about cars and sounded like God shouting. So I should say so, yeah."
