Love these... How do they drive?
What are ownerships costs like?

Supercharged viper lump - I'd imagine "if you've got to ask..."

I appear to have missed this thread having recently joined the Yank brethren.

Gorgeous, and it sits just nicely on the road. How does it drive...?

Thanks. It drives well enough, but is obviously somewhat agricultural by modern standards. It's not one for being hustled along twisty country lanes though - the steering is very low geared so demands much arm twirling. It's a three speed manual that adds something to the novelty.

It makes a lovely noise, and is perfect for relaxed cruising.

Nice interior too

Nice looking Mustang - welcome to the Dark Side.

Well tax it's cheap...£25 a month
Fuel is not such a good story
It's ok on a run, spirited drive is 6mpg or less
Worth every gallon 😂😜

I could live with 6mpg!
The other half would absolutely love it.

I am very tempted... I've always liked them!

Thanks Been wanting one ever since they came out when I was in high school so very much a life goal accomplished for me!

I’ve seen all sorts of Americana posted in here over the years (and enjoy the variety of them) but I do apologise to anyone who considers it not “Yank Tank” enough for this thread.

Yank Tank has always been a generally use term for any American vehicle whether a huge sedan, muscle/pony car.....a Corvette is simply an extension of that..........the term Yank Tank related to American car was historically used in exactly the same way as any UK manufactured Ford was always known as a Dagenham Dustbin.........and I guess 'over the pond' a Ford is known as Fix Or Repair Daily and AMC/Rambler's were known as Kenosha Cadillacs........

It's a lovely car but I'm unsure as to why you would be allowed that silly little plate on the front?

You're not 'allowed'. I had similar on my C6 Z06 as there was nowhere else to put it. And yes, I did get pulled up for it.
