You pointed out in you first post that you hate, and have no time for, the new RHD Mustang. What annoys people is that you keep harping on about it, it's made even funnier when all your information comes from press releases and photos.

Here is the comparison figures between the EB and the V8. http://blog.caranddriver.com/perform...tang-ecoboost/ The EB has a reported 13.9 second quarter mile, just 0.9 seconds slower than the 8, and a 5.2 second 0.60mph. |

I'm not saying it's slow. Any I'm not knocking it. Yes the figures are impressive on paper and I thought it would be a cracker of a car. Then I drove one. It just lacks some fizz. There's nothing to put wood in your trousers. It goes ok but just does it without feeling and sounds awful. Maybe it's too refined or over governed but I tried all the race and sports modes and it didn't matter. It just feels like a non event. It may suit some people or be a great daily drive. But I wouldn't buy it. I'd spend the extra money and buy the Mustang that feels like an event every time you start it. The V8 deserves to wear the GT badge. In comparison it feels more raw and alive. Put it in race mode and it can become real exiting real quick and oh that sound. That sound makes ladies underwear fall off. So to me, there's more to how a car drives than the numbers. Sometimes the numbers only tell part of the story. Again, not knocking the EB. It's an important model in the line up. But please go and drive it before laying the money down. It may not suit everyone. |

Saw a black convertible and a yellow 4 banger in Ipswich.
Take a xr6t / xr8 any day over the mustang. IMO. |

Of course the Mustang is not the best looking car ever with the most grandest interior, BUT amongst the bland sea of FWD Mazda's, Hyundai's, Toyotas, SUV's, hatch backs etc...it is such a breath of fresh air to see a 2 door "sports coupe" with a nimble 4 cylinder turbo or a rocking V8 cruising the streets.
The stang looks good, is sleek, looks in proportion in nearly all angles and would leave the majority of the bland cars on the road in the rear view. Just my view!
