My Christmas gift to myself is a performance kit for the abarth putting it over 200HP at the wheels. Power to weight ratio at a supercar level.

Didn't Ford learn from the Foxbody days that a 4cyl shouldn't be in a Mustang? (Yes I know it can be reworked for 400hp, but I'm talking stock)

Ford wanted to keep the Camaro's 4 cylinder company.

These are verrrrry different 4 cyl engines than the old 2.3 and iron duke engines. The 4cyl has more power than the v6...

I once owned a 1974 Mustang II with the first-gen 2.3. Toyota Corolla's used to leave me for dead once the light turned green.

Well being a wannabe Steve McQueen I have worn Persol 714s for years :cool:

Not a big fan of loafers with buckles on them...

Its not the 1980's anymore the new 4 cylinder Mustang is faster than a foxbody 5.0.
