So, I now have a list of things I "would have done differently" if I was Ford.

****fer...I mean shifter. Mine is not horrible, but not in love with it either. I have never missed a gear downshifting though.

Wish I had room for my Meatloaf AND Def Leppard CD's....wish it was a changer and not a single CD player. I know, WHAAAAH.

Wish the stripes were painted on.

What the hell is the mustang symbol on the back? No Boss badge, no race track map, not even a freakin GT? Both Boss's should have had unique badges...either Ford did not care or they got lazy!

Drilled out Fog Lights rather than silly plastic covers. Lower stance. IRS. Better interior plastics. But as much as all the above would be an improvement, I'm happy with the car.

 

I guess I would like the option of Nav/Shaker systems, not that I can't change everything out myself, but it would be nice to have the factory options. And maybe the ability to bring up speed in the center display, a digital mph.

And frickin hood struts.

And an 11" rear wheel with a 305. I think that's about it.

 

I said it before, but I think the speedo and tach could be angled to give better visibility and for readability. I can barely read the speedo.

I agree completely. Not a big fan of the 180 degree gauges but extremely happy they're "modernized" compared to the retro style standard gauge faces.

The seatbelt positioning gets pretty annoying in short order.

The pockets in the doors are pretty useless except for paper trash. My Focus by comparison can hold water bottles comfortably.

The auto-headlight sensitivity is a bit touchy. Going under an underpass for 5 seconds can trigger them on.

No telescoping wheel!!!

That's really about it. Love the car for what it is though, a tuned track instrument that makes a pretty sound and scoots.

 

Pick up a 2003 Cobra, try and launch it around at all and see if you still want IRS.

 

Agreed. Or even a corvette for that matter. Fishtail wheel hop. Yeah IRS is great.

 

I dunno. I still find myself lifting on parts of the track (or backroads) where I'd keep my foot buried in my old Bimmer. Sure this car is faster, but it's also scarier...not that there's anything wrong with that ;-)

 

That's what makes it so much fun. Got to have some skills and big set of ***** to drive one of these to the limit, pussies need not apply.

 

if I felt safe in my car I would sell it.

 

Does anyone feel safe in your car?

 

I hope not.

 

Not when he's got the "Free Candy" sign on it.

BTW, love the new pic. He looks like someone that just got the breast milk taken away from them.

 

No eating in the car!

 

Well certainly not any women

 

i've never been happier with a car but and this is a big one i so want a telescopic steering wheel.
