Here's what someone outside of the US thought. We do think diffrently for many reasons.
I had a choice of Nissan Z, Supra at a stretch, or Mustang. Plus some quick hatches etc. It was a no brainer, V8 against 6's or 4's, an Icon against blah, and , not least, value for money.
Sure it's thirsty...
My Mum and Dad were Italian, that's why I drive with one hand on the horn and, if it's deafening it's almost loud enough. The Mustang horn is pretty good though.
Ok, that's a different kettle of marine creatures. Personally, when it gets up to 500 or more horsies, I prefer N/A style of response. It may not be fastest, but it feels better.
It's still surprising at the attention they get. I took Turner the cat to the vet last Friday and this woman came out and asked about the car. It turns out she has a '15 GT with a Roush blower.
Her husband had it fitted up in Auckland, it was his retirement toy. Then the poor bugger up and died...
Yep, I worked at a Harley shop. All bike horns are like mouse farts, uless you fit an air horn like I did.
But my point was the stupidity of rev bombing in an emergency.
Not sure I agree. 100hp per litre is not that amazing these days. The Z06 does better, Ferrari's 456 better still. Bikes were doing 180 - 200hp per litre 10 years ago. Sure, they spun to 14k rpm to do it.
I'm sure Ford could make the coyote hold together at 8k rpm or more. More N/A revs = more...
I had an Aussie Naval Officer come up to me yesterday and ask if mine was a Dark Horse.
I said it was a GT PP with all the horsies it was supposed to have. I like winding Aussies up.
Said he'd just done a group drive in Mustangs in the hills near Tokyo of all places.
Showed me a pic of his...
