When I first heard about the new 'Stang coming to the UK on Top Gear in December, I thought it was great, about time, exciting. Then they went on to say how it's only gonna have a 4 pot engine blah blah blah and my interested vanished before the end of the segment.
However, today I was having a look about new cars, playing with the building function on various manufacturer website. I came to Ford thinking I'll make up a RS Focus in some made colour and the first thing I seen was this - http://www.ford.co.u...es/Ford-Mustang
I clicked it to read about this pathetic engine they're gonna drop into it, only to see that we're gonna be getting the option of a great big fat 5.0 V8 thumping out 420 horsies and they've FINALLY added independent rear suspension
This got me thinking, as I have itchy feet for 370 Nismo as it is, can I really trade in the Zed next year and buy a…. FORD?!
The Nismo costs about £37k, the baby 2.3L 305BHP 'Stang should come in un £30k here and about £35ish for the daddy 5.0L. There is no doubt that the Nismo will handle better and the V8 'Stang will destroy the '70 in a straight line, so long as you can get the power down, but given the chance, which would you opt for? I think I want the Mustang more
