though the platform maybe archaic it still gets the blood pumping when that throaty v8 springs to life...i acknowledge the mustang isn't about refinement or reliability...its sole purpose is to strike fear in the parent in the suv next to them or the ricer with all the mods b/c if they don't get that perfect launch then they'll lose...a torquey v8 with rwd makes for consistent launches
I dont think I need to explain why the Mustang sells. It has this certain..... effect on stupid hicks. Their dad had a mustang, so its their turn. Mustangs are "cool". Etc etc, who knows why. Aslo, the whole V8 thing comes into play. V8's are like the ultime engine to some people, nothing with less cylinders could possibly be fast.
I think most people here are smarter than to fall for a Mustang.....
