This has got to be my favorite. I love the red with black stripes. Black with red stripes would be bad ass as well. I am suprised with the pricing of this thing. Impressive !!

thas why I said he'd like it at first, I think his favorite one is a 60s mustang

the 2013 mustang is by far the best looking one in its body style, a guy at my apartments drives a lowered 5.0 and it just looks mean

or are you talking about the shitty top gear?
Good Top Gear liked the Holden Monaro/Vauxhall Monaro/Vauxhall VX-R8/Pontiac GTO/Pontiac G8 so there could be some hope yet. Clarkson will definitely harp on the solid rear axle thing, even though he couldn't tell you the functional difference between solid and IRS if you held a gun to his head, but a lot of power for not a lot of money is the one thing they've always liked about American cars. They liked the Chrysler Crossfire Convertible of all things mainly because of the price compared to the other cars in its class.

That was the coupe, ironically the thing they liked the most with the convertible was how it looked.

EDIT: Season 6 Episode 8

FTFY. He got tired of how unreliable it was, from what it sounds like Ford UK really screwed him over and he barely got to drive it.

The main thing that bothers me is the HID's being inboard of the parking lights. I like the 11-12 regular head light setup much better, like this:
