i just know that car looked like a mess around the track. they gave it so much power without upgrading anything else. the Roush mustang looked a lot better. then again, like they said, the Roush is approaching M3 prices and umm, I will take the M3.

The mustang has never really been a track car to me. I forget what the GT looked like on the track, it has been a while seen I have seen that episode. I can't imagine the rear end wanted to stay in place. Makes me think I was once crazy for considering buying one of those...thank God I stepped into an e36 M3 at the BMW dealer....never looked back at domestics after that.

I think its ugly...I think it did a good time, but I would never buy one. I can't be unbiased about that car company...No RWD...its ridiculous. I would take the Carrera in a minute. I don't know what was up with its track time, maybe the AWD helped the Stig...thats ghey tho.

On another note. You had to laugh your ass off at their attempts to cross the channel. It was hilarious.

you looses somewhere around 18% HP from crank to wheels. Of coarse this isnt exact for every car but close enough for guesses

My question is...why would you even take that out in the rain? My M3 only sees dry tarmac and its a shit box compared to that thing.

why bother even giving it windshield wipers then? putting head lights on it. every car has to be a "driving car" to some degree.

Oh, no no. I understand the point. However, I'm saying I don't care how the windshield wipers work...I would never use them. So long as the car drives like like it should, I want it.
