I do also :)

It's still every Saturday for me. Ever since the 80’s. I'm 43.

Same

I did also but I miss the opening on these retro episodes. Wish those were on these as that was to the best opening till about 2002.

Just like me.

Me to I use to watch road test magazine

Me2 every sunday!

These had the wide body and bubble rear hatch glass.

Better tail lights too. An SVO Capri would've been awesome.

My thoughts exactly. 1987 ‘stang GT

I was interested because I thought that it might be similar to the McLaren mustang. I don't care much for the mustangs these days,but I really like the McLaren version with the 4 cylinder turbo engine. I know that it's not that fast,but I would like to have one. I came across one of these Capris for sale,but it is optioned in Brown and tan and it is a convertible.

It's the same company that made all mustang convertibles. Ford would ship them to asc to be made in to ragtops

Uncle Eddie Cars & Concepts made the Fox Mustang convertibles NOT ASC/McLaren (they did make the 3rd Gen Camaro convertibles though starting in '87).

smithraymond09029 The McLaren Capri convertibles are actually more common than their "Coupes". They made 557 ragtops and only a little over 300 coupes. The ragtops were only two seaters and the windshield was laid back at more of an angle than a Mustang convertible making them look like a "chopped top".

*Actually, I think it may have been LESS than 300 coupes.

By 1993, FWD Mazda 3's were being shipped from Japan to Australia and made into convertibles and sold in USA as Mercury Capri convertibles... with a 4 banger...

Did this sell in America!?

@@surfside75 Yep

The Mercury brand was North America only I believe.

He bought an ASC McLaren Grand Prix. I don't remember what he did with it.

I made it :)

I want one so bad

@@bandccoresohio fuck yeah!

iSlandeRon 0-60 in 1 hour 2 minutes and 30 seconds! Wow!

@@rodmunch69 Pervert

You wouldn't be lying! LOL

True Story..

Like my buddy back in the day. “Dude, I got a ‘Vette. A Chevette.”

Hey, me too! (shows his '90 Grand Prix McLaren).

😅😅😅

It shows you how poorly it launched. Imagine if you could get it to hook up and match the mustang's 6 second 0-60.

I was thinking the same thing with that low trap speed

There's no way 90 mph equaled 14.2 in the quarter. My suv's times new were 0-60 in 6.9, the 1/4 in 15.4 at 90.

Tool0GT92 wasn’t it funny how they said it wouldn’t hook at full throttle or something like that 😂

The MKV GTI DSG I used to have did a best 0-60 of 6 seconds flat with a 1/4 of 14.2 at 98mph, so yeah something isn't right. A 90mph trap is typically in the 15s; maybe it was a typo?mistake and it was supposed to be 15.2 @ 90mph, which would be on par for the 7.7 0-60.

lol. Never understood the appeal/point of Mclaren Mustangs. Just put bigger tires, a stiffer suspension, and some cheesy decals, and expect buyers to pay a premium for something they could do themselves. Probably why they became extinct in the 90s.

Uh yeah, If he don't fall off his wheel..

I will always say. Motorweek and the Old Top Gear were my English teacher, it doesn't have subtitles back then, and I used to record the episodes in my vcr and watch over and over, till I get it, next week, same thing. I've got to a point that was needless to watch again.

@@DIZAZZO Hahaha same here man !! Exactly !!

I remember your mom. We had good times in that car. 😏😏 ooo yeah

Yeah...your mom...what a great gal.

Yea Your mom had good times in that car 😯

😍love that black Capri!

👏👏👏🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 muito da hora

I definitely raised an eyebrow at 14.2. Last time I looked at stock Foxbody times the fastest was about 14.8 for a 5.0.

wow, thats awesome

I bet yours looks better

@@eltonjohn3236 😉

All it is

@Frank White - I think you missed the point.

$15,200 was really expensive back then. In today's money, $15,200 would nearly $36,000. Compare that value to today's equivalent. A stock 2019 Mustang Ecoboost turbo 4 cylinder would blow this thing out of the water for ~$10,000 less, and a stock 2019 Mustang GT would absolutely vaporize it for $35,000.

@@nukewiller4083 well this was a special edition Mustang. So if it's equivalent to 36k in today's money that's still a good deal. You only get a bare-bones Mustang GT for that price today, that's if they even exist at the dealer. I've never seen one under 40k. I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

@@easycomeeasygo8901 Just because it was "special" doesn't mean it was a good value. And there are plenty of new Mustangs below $40,000. You can even find stripped GTs and Ecoboost Premiums for under $40,000 easily. Half the Mustangs at my local dealer are for around $40,000 or less.

@@nukewiller4083 the internet, youtube, and you can try all day to convince me that a 50k mustang or camero or Challenger is an affordable bargain. But my pocket as well as the pockets of many other people disagree. Yes they are faster and better built than the old ones, and 700 wheel horsepower capable with a supercharger from the factory. If you have another 10 to 15,000 laying around for the supercharger, tune, and supporting mods. they're all very nice Vehicles just not affordable that's all I'm trying to say. The Mustang in this MotorWeek didn't have any less value than say a California special Mustang today. The Mustang GT in 86 was about 10,500. New Mustang GT today is about 3 times as expensive, at base price, no big brakes and skinny on this car 255s i believe. Mustang sales of the fox era were double of what they are today. I've talked to many people at the Mustang shows I've gone to. And while Everyone likes the gains the Mustang has had, most will agree the price is getting out of hand. And I'm not even going to get into $70,000 Raptors and hundred-thousand-dollar Navigators. Car loans are stretching out to 84 to help people afford to pay their payments. A record amount of people are three months or more behind in payment. But im sure you're going to disagree with all of this, but that's your prerogative.

@@easycomeeasygo8901 Vehicle purchasing power is virtually unchanged over the last 30 years, and dollar per performance is the best it's ever been. Ecoboost Mustangs are sub-$30,000 cars all year long, and provide more eye-watering performance than anything you could get back in the day. If you can't afford your trill at that price, it's a purely personal issue.

@William Schwartz Unfortunately, the friends car got totaled as he underestimated the cars power.

Solid axle cars made up ETs with 60 foot times.

No it's 15.2 for sure

SGT Nick H I see it

I believe so.

Sekhem El awesome I would like to see some pics of it?
