Took A 2016 Ford Mustang For A Drive

FA20 looks good so far. Now they need to make a FA25 .

Awaiting Ford Focus RS arrival. Drift mode looks fun and they staunched the 2.3L up from the muzzie also!

Would be nice, Reckon it will be very expensive with the dollar

Apparently its $55 or $50K. Being German built i wonder what build quality is like though?

Glad to see I'm not the only person thinking this. Although the twin scroll turbo on the fa20 makes the low down torque quite good even compared to my ej25

Edit: fa20 also needs unequal length headers. Sounds wrong otherwise

They defiantly look the business, there's a shit load of them on the gold coast already. nearly rivalled the amount of 86's I saw today. I would have to have a v8 though, no 4 banger is going to do the mustang justice, maybe should have offered a turbo 6 option instead of the 4. I reckon for the price it would want to have a decent amount of build quality behind it.

A turbo 6 would be way faster than the 8 though. Look at the XR6 turbo, turn the boost up and you're already way quicker than an XR8

Why f**k around? Just strap a turbo to the V8. Plenty of kits are going to come out.

In regard to the price vs build quality.

The Mustang in Australia is just like European beer, you go to Europe and that shit is bottom shelf garbage, you export it to Australia it becomes a "Premium Import" top shelf pricing for the same shit.

I would definitely own one in the US as the price is great for what you get.

[warps]

Same goes for any U.S car. I'd have an F250 in a heartbeat in 'Murca. Also a vette.

You don't buy an OLD Mustang for build quality. It's 2016, this car has the fit and finish of a car 10 years ago. Not good enough. It's definitely got cool factor but not enough for me.

Has build quality changed at all in the last 10 years? Genuinely did not have that impression, but I haven't owned anything close to that new lol.

[niZmO_Man]

My impression is that USA build quality is similar to Falcodores (or worse).

Aren't they getting fairly reliable and well featured and reasonably nice nowadays? My impression was that USA were generally a bit behind with suspension etc, and they're all autos, but otherwise similar.

Like all things these days I think quality has taken a back seat to profit.

i have driven a couple of rental Mustangs and Camaros in the states and found them fairly similar to Australian built cars. Don't have that Jap attention to detail or classy Euro interiors, but really robust, felt well built and seemed to handle all the rental abuse without falling apart
