Best of luck.. :D :thumbsup:

The last Mustang I drove ( a late & ropey 70's Mach 1 ) was owned by a Traffic Superintendant and suffered severely from 'torque roll' every time the auto box shifted gears. It either banked left or right depending on whether the power was coming off, or back on again. Scary beast!

Hopefully the current generation ones have better road manners, or it's got 'Anglicised' suspension mods.

How's the fuel use going to be compared to the 4.8is? Or is that a question you never ask..... :)

well the current mustang is a 2005 Roush, so uprated suspenison all round makes it quite a chuckable car really (for what it is) but will still go sideways at any oppurtunity even off the line, now moving to a supercharged 5.4 pick up and can only guesstimate on fuel, 4.8is usually returned an average of around 13/14 in town so im anticipating 10-13 so not too much worse

Them boys at Roush know what they're about. In my previous career I used them as our Special Vehicles Developer. They built us a fleet if very special covert units and did a damned good job of it too. They had, or have a place east of London.

Have fun, but don't chuck it too hard :driving: :D
