Looks much better.

That bushing will help a lot, the stock one is so soft.

Looks like you bought at the right time, they've ruined the front end..http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2018-ford-mustang-facelift-revealed

It is hideous, wow, they had one job failed miserably. If I was on the market for a brand new muscle car it would be the Challenger then the Camaro.

On behalf of America I apologize.

Happy Cariversary.

Should look good on the new springs!

60 fps makes a big difference on vids like that.

[Benton]

Good grief, it sounds amazing! Surprised by how well it accelerates, even at 100+.

[anomaly]

That top end acceleration is impressive!

[TheLordJohn]

I like the 100-130 MPH in one gear bit. That's a useful sort of speed to need to accelerate from
Is it electronically limited top speed?

That noise is straight out of Bullit, brilliant. My seven year old has asked if he can have a Mustang when he's grown up!

He can have one now if his Dad is feeling generous...!

Can't think of a way to get it past his Mum. Although her a Dad used to work for Ford, I wonder what employee discount he could get?

[M1C]

Excellent!

I need a shave

Is that you driving? I could have sworn it was Boosted Boris

Love the car though!

[Alfa Pete]

Great video Kapitein. Fantastic quality, and the soundtrack via my new AKG headphones sounded immense!

I'm seeing an increasing number of Mustangs around and it's great to see a v8 still available with a manual box.

[TheLordJohn]

That's a great time from 100-200 KM/H.

[alec.e]

Very impressive and very jealous you have access to the autobahn to 'max it'

[hashtag]

The fuel gauge moved somewhat!

Wonder how long a tank would last at 155mph.

[99dndd]

How squishy are those bits at the side?

Very!

The Cactus is a funny car.

It does the innovative stuff very, very well.

But some of the normal car stuff lets it down somewhat. Lack of any physical HVAC controls is unforgivable IMO.

This one has got the 82bhp NA 3-cylinder engine, which is fine for city work but struggles hugely at anything above 50mph.

Economical though, this one has averaged 45mpg over the last 11k km, despite being a rental.

I like the 'despite being a rental' caveat at the end there... Lol.
I used to get 34 MPG sat at a genuine 75 MPH on cruise control in a 3.2 BMW M3.
So half the cylinders and a quarter of the power, I reckon it should do more than that!

[5ohmustang]

I like it in a weird way. Are modern Citroen's reliable?
