Report Card
PLUSES: great power, awesome brakes, sexy styling, highly affordable, stiffest Mustang chassis yet, scienced-out suspension, pedals and gear shift lever placed perfectly, bulletproof rearend and trans.
MINUSES: ride probably too stiff in normal traffic for non-enthusiasts, great steering wheel but cheap tilt mechanism, shift linkage too flimsy for powershifting, ride height to high, bring back the engine beauty cover, hard to find anything to criticized.

They couldn't get one to the strip in the article but managed to get an auto to the strip before final press only made one run at 1,100 ft. altitude track 14.19 @ 96.6 they said 1st 2nd and 3rd were great but 4th really killed it dropping all the way down to 3,000 rpm!

They put a manual on the Dyno for four runs peak hp at 5600 low 265 high 267.5hp torque was 280- 284 at 4400rpm.
