I was eager to drive. My dad turned down most of my suggestions. You buy it for the raw 8-cylinder power pushing your body back against the seat as you drop your foot on the accelerator. I have owned my Mustang for the last 9 years and still love turning the ignition and hearing the engine fire up with a roar and then listen to it purr as it idles. I ordered mine back in October 1991.
Power creates unsafe driving conditions in bad weather.
What a bargain for this type of car as it is highly desirable.
