Default Beating a dead horse.

Ya know, I hear lots of people complaning to ford about how they did things wrong with our mustangs.


Its a rainy/snowy day and when I spun the tires through 4 gears, I once again realized how much I appreciate my stang.

Mine never rattles, breaks, squeaks, anything. (knock on wood)

And for the $$$ you cannot really compare our cars and aftermarket to any other.


Thanks ford. !

I'll agree with you there. I haven't had any problems out of the car and it was built on a Saturday.

Anyone who complains about the quality of these 2005 and beyond cars has no idea how far they have come. Go drive a 79 sometime.

And when you go back to the legendary cars of the 60's, you could barely keep them in a straight line and it was easier to list the parts that didn't rattle than the ones that did. Yet those cars are held in such high regard. Yes I love the old ones as much as the next guy, but they were in in no way "high quality" cars.

With all the restrictions and competitive nature of the auto business, Ford did a kick *** job with this car. Period.

Mine rattles, squeeks, knocks (not the engine ) depending on the road I am driving on. Smooth asphalt means a pretty silent ride. No 745i, but still pretty quiet.
I don't care... Because when that foot goes down... Oh yeah...

Absolutely. In today's competitive climate of plush-gush luxo, FORD went out and built a basic real CAR. They deserve credit for that.

the GT is a great lump of clay in which to build on. it gives a good base to mod. also there are so much mods to choose from for this car. there are no limits to what you can do with the mustang. there is no better muscle car on the market for the money.

Squeaks... Another reason to indulge in boomtubes
