The thing I find funniest is that he's comparing the Rated horsepower to horsepower at the wheels... Wow... world class car guy... "Drivetrain losses? Whats that?"

I think this is the same guy. Apparently he owns a classic (which I would take off his hands any day of the week):

They have been bitter ever since the Boston Tea Party. They never got over that one. I wonderwhat they have to say aboutthe Austin Martin which is owned by Ford.

this guy is such a ****. im shocked and completely and utterly appalled that he doesn't understand a concept as simple as drivetrain losses. the rate at which they screw up information on their show, its ridiculous. accuracy has no value to them.

I am sorry a lot of British cars would run circles around the Stang, but you will be hard pressed finding one mass produced. This is still one of my favorite British Cars http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/invicta_s1.asp Funny thing is they get their engine from none other then SVT, and uses a aluminum 4.6

He's a clown, he's a brit and he's got bad teeth. You learn to ignore the negative when all you hear is bashing. The longer he drove it the more he understood what it meant to be in a Mustang no matter what kind it was.......

Remember they are critics, and their job is to find flaws, but it goes as movie critics when they say the movie is awesome and gives it 5 stars I know it is a drama that will keep me depressed for a week so I stay away from it.
At any rate not everything they say is wrong, we all know the live axle in our stangs is prehistoric and the handling could be improved, and the interior is full of cheap plastic, they also recognize Mustangs are fun to drive and good value for the money that has won over enthusiast over almost 50 years. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and there is a car out there for every taste and budget. I don’t expect everybody to look at things from my own perspective, I love my Mustang and all that comes with it.
