Default What is the biggest disappointment about your Mustang?

Mustangs are kick ass, but what is the one thing (or more) about your stang that is somewhat disappointing?

IMO:
[ul][*] Looks like it should be 4-wheel drive[*] Front seats are made to fit midgets with no spines[*] Traction[*] Can only safely get ~400-450rwhp out of it
[/ul]

That it has a 5 speed and no supercharger. umm.. yeah. thats about it. Needs a 6 speed and a hair dryer [8D]

Actualy, my biggest complaint is the rim size.. 17x8's... why couldnt they do atleast a x9? Never can figure that out...
Other then that i love my car.

No traction.

The interior blows bunghole. My Nissan Titan gets better gas mileage. It's impossible to keep clean. People still think 5.0's are faster with a couple bolt-ons.

The stupid door scoops are incredibly gay. Oh yeah, let's not forget it's a Ford, superb quality right therrr!

the color i have. i kind a wish it was black or something and not the crimson red. i wanted to put a cowl hood on it, but i think it would look retarded in a dark red and plus i would have to get the strips put on it. too much trouble.

1) Torque
2) HP

I know on newer years they fixed these problems but mine still lacks some of the above.. The interior isn't too bad but for under $30k its what you get.. I'm pretty happy over all.. I am realistic and know I could get more if I spent more.. Problem is were all pretty limited on our funds and drive what we can afford.. One day I will upgrade to a Vet.. Not that GM is better but I think the Vet has some smokin hawt looks and produces very nice numbers under the hood..

I agree the seats suck! Forged internals would have been great.

+1

I looked at quite a few cars before I got the Stang. Since I did not want to finance anything, I kinda got what I got. I would take a 1997+ Vette over this anyday. [&o] Ohh, and I needed a back seat for the car seat, just in case.
