05 Mustang - the first 5 hours...
Discussion
Picked my GT V8 up this morning.
Just some quick notes before I'm off out again.
Pros : nice noise
, build quality is very good, feels like a much more expensive car, comfy but certainly not wallowy ride, pretty rapid off the line considering its size and weight, real head-turner. It can actually do corners and it feels good. 2nd, 3rd and 4th in-gear acceleration is juicy.
Cons : steering feels darty, especially when changing gear (although I'm still getting used to holding the wheel with my left hand while changing - still a bit wierd) - possibly over-servoed. That V8 growl is masked too much inside the cabin, need the windows open to fully appreciate it. Gear-box sounds kind of grating in lower gears (possibly will fade once things are bedded in). Higher speed cornering is "interesting", you can feel it trying to hop if the surface is poor. Too many different plastics inside - they're not particularly bad but there's just too many different textures. 5th gear is not much use - expected a bit more pull.

Is this the car parked next to Robs Porsche at Donnington today? Nice car
think it would look real mean if it was lowered an inch or 2.
Yes it was Steve. You're right - i think its the first thing I'm going to spend money on.
I didn't realise that it was you who Rob was talking to - sorry, I would've said hello.
