How cool is that new Mustang?
Pity I live in a country where one litre unleaded costs €1,05

'stang needs lowering and fatter rubber.
That's why I like the PS04 so much ;) :D
What I want is a bitchin Euro ride like an old Espada.
Good old americans, you think they would make cars that actually are quick without a 20 litre engine and 45 tonnes of metal behind it.....
Why don't they have a trip to Italy sometime...? Better than the £0.80.9 I'm paying here. On the way back from collecting the new car I went to fill up at a 'Jet' petrol station. I was told that Shell Optimax was really good for it as it cleans the engine real good and gives more MPG as well, but there was no Shell garage on the way home. So at the Jet I picked up the Super unleaded fuel hose and looked a right asshole when I imediately put the pump back after suffering a stroke, respiratory distress and three heart attacks.....95.9p per litre....!!!!!! Sod that! Thats 15p PER LITRE more.
I'm still getting used to the clutch on the sport at the moment, the biting point is much lower so you tend to give more revs to compensate so as not to stall the bloody thing. However last night I was driving 30mph as I always do with some asshole taxi driver right up my ass (metaphorically speaking of course!) I had to stop at some traffic lights. I wanted to pull away real quick and I looked a right dickhead as I overcompensated way too much with the revs and smoke just poured off the tyres even before I moved away......Taxi driver must have though 'Bloody boy racer', how bloody embarrassing. I'm finding it quite difficult at the moment, to jump from the base model gutless one litre engine to this is a different animal entirely.....oo but it is fun :hehe:
My truck engine is 7.7 liter..460 cubes +.030 over - whatever in the hell it works out to. 510 HP at 4500 RPM. Well, that is when I am finished with it.
My father in law has a 1973 454 Corvette in British Racing Green. 7.3 litre 4 speed. Fucking awesome, even for me, who is far more into turbos than cubes. :)
And you'd be dead wrong. A 4.6 Mustang would comfortably keep up with a 545i BMW.
And he was right. The 427 FoMoCo WAS just a motor that could be had off the production line.
The Aussies get it though - they love the good old v -8.
It just depends how much your willing to spend on fuel. @ about $0.95-$1.05 (that $60 bucks to fill a big car like my Ford) per litre it is still reasonable compared to Europe. However I filled up yesterday with Shell optimax $1.14. Rip off.
