While watching the Top Gear video that BC Shelby posted on the C6 Corvette, I had a thought. I'll put "Mustang" where the "Corvette" is listed in the google video search bar. What did I find, the Top Gear review of the Mustang GT, by Richard Hammond. See it for yourself by clicking below. Hope you enjoy!

Top Gear Mustang GT

All in all, for the money, Richard likes it.

No problem Andy. For anyone who is interested. If you watch the Mustang video. Just change the car name to something else, and you can see if the video is available. I put in Koenigsegg, and got the most recent review of the CCR. WHAT A CAR ! ALso saw the review of the Maserati MC12. That site is fantastic. Now I just can't wait for the video of the Bugatti/airplane cross country trip, to see which is fastest.

I think Richard really got the essence of this car, especially after watching the Corvette video. He didn't really complain about the live axle, just mentioned it. But the Mustang isn't intended as a pure sports car like the Corvette but rather as a fast GT, and in that it succeeds extremely well, especially for the price.

Considering how most of us, whether here or in Europe, really drive our cars on a daily basis, there's no need to shell out big bucks for some automotive excitement, let alone for the most recent incarnation of a legend.

I love that video. It shows that people can love the Mustang all around the world. You watch that top gear corvette video, and they basically think it stinks for the most part. Because its the grandest american sports car. The Mustang is a car for everybody not the people with the money.

I would LOVE to see the Stig take it around the track... I really wonder how it would do. Maybe they'll give a GT500 a shot some day.

Hey Colin, just type in Video.google.com, in your address bar. Then when the site comes up, type in Top Gear, and put in any make of car after the comma. I punched in Koenigsegg and got their recent test of the CCR, and I also typed in Pagani, and got the review of the new Zonda F. Talk about a fast car. The Zonda F was the fastest car they ever had go around their track. It beat the Maserati MC12 by half a second. And the MC12 beat the Enzo by 1/10 of a second. BTW, type in MC12, and you can watch that video too .That video site is terrific. Hope you enjoy.
