The reason so many Mustangs crash, is ultimately because Ford succeeded at what they aimed for: A cheap, powerful, fun car, that most anyone can save up their spare change and get one.

I was a tech at a Ford dealer when these were new. This body style attracted some of the kookiest late-middle aged men. I had one guy who wanted me to get in the car without even touching the door handles. Another who was literally crying when he saw his transmission disassembled awaiting new synchros. He said the car was his baby and should be home in his warm garage. Don't even get me started on the Bullitt guys who sport matching jackets.

The 3.27s in the '15 Camaro SS IRS that's installed in our Lemons prepped Chevette needs to go. Engine makes about 260 wheel, so at least 300 crank. So, not down all that much to this Mustang, but it bogs down a bit. Super tame to drive. Admittedly, not a bad thing for endurance racing but would be nice to have more acceleration to match the incredible brakes we have in it. Anyways, I digress. What I'm really picking at is, 3.27s in the Camaro are probably why less of them get involved in cars and coffee style memery. So, you out there new to powerful rear drive cars... detune it a tad with gears.

The Mustang has always been a childhood favorite of mine for someone in Asia! It's something Americans are used to because they see them all the time in the States, but over here it's got that "hero I never met" kinda vibe! I guess it's sorta like how in other parts of the world, the Peugeot 206 is a normal car but to RCR it's something special! Plus as a kid, the Mustang was something I enjoyed as someone who wanted to be part of the "American Dream". Sure I'm older now and I see the US isn't all sunshine and rainbows. The meds are expensive there, the politics there is such a landmine, etc, but as a kid who didnt know any of that, the Mustang is what I thought about when it came to going on a US road trip, visiting those glitzy black and white diners with red couches, and buying a hot dog from New York and just meeting with random Americans who knew how to have fun without all the sensibilities that Asian culture limited you from having. The reality of having the American dream has faded now that I'm an adult, but a little bit of it is still there, and it wants to drive the Mustang at some point

I don't even need a V8, I just adore the shape, the presence, the silhouette of this car. It really is the Mustangiest Mustang that ever Mustanged. It's a symbol of that idealized, impossible version of the American dream - the America that people think they grew up in, when in reality, they were just blissfully unaware of almost everything happening in the world.

I’ve had a lot of fun cars. From RWD BMWs, an FRS for awhile, an AWD Volvo that makes 400hp, Jeeps, some FWD shit boxes, and my 08 Bullitt Mustang GT. And of all of my cars, THAT one was my favorite. It was raw. It’s was unassisted. Like RCR stated, it was the most mustang you could mustang in modern times. 281cui V8, live axel, decent power to weight ratio (stangs before were too low power and stangs after were too heavy). It was by all means the most raw and pure CAR I have ever driven. When it slid, you had to really control it. When you put your foot down, you had to pray to god it didn’t become an extra on set of Tokyo Drift. And that’s what made it so fun. These cars aren’t the fastest. They’re not the most agile. But they will give you a feeling of adrenaline and raw driving that MOST cars can’t do in this price range. Highly recommend.

Seemed like I was the only one on I95 around Phila for a few months before the eventual swarm came in. 16 years later, still have it. Other than the traditional ford items that tend to die out early and often (stupid plastic thermostat housing, water pump, alternator) it's been hanging in there all this time.

The 4.6 3V has got to be one of Ford’s greatest engines, happy to rev, torquey and it makes a wonderful old school kind of sound. It also runs on 87 and supposedly will get 24+ MPG on the highway according to various S197 forums, not bad at all for such an awesome engine.

The 24 mpg+ thing is people who started off justifying the car to their spouses and now have themselves fooled. My record average was prob 19.

Hard to sneeze at a the Tremec, it's reliable as all hell. Plus, at this time the Mustang is mostly for drag racing, where a low amount of gears isn't necessarily a issue. When the Coyote got put in the S197, so did the 6-speed MT82, which is sloppier and more fragile. Not fragile, just more so than the Tremec. Just proves that it's not the number of gears that matters, it's the quality.

These cars are very underrated. Even mustang guys (like myself) were disappointed that these didn’t come with the 4v as standard. I had a Mach 1 so it seemed like a step backwards at the time, then the Shelby came out and we were all impressed but they were too expensive for young guys (which is probably for the best). Once the 2010 redesign came out these things basically vanished from consciousness and were dismissed as those mustangs that looked kind of cool and retro but were not that good. Maybe we were too hard on these cars though. They have aged pretty well (looks-wise) and the 4.6 modular engine enjoys a great reputation for reliability so it would be a fun commuter for sure.

There is something wonderful about a car or motorcycle that won't coddle you or help you. I used to have an ancient 4-speed 1400cc Intruder. It was not as fast as, say, a new R6. But the R6 will turn, it will stop, it's a modern machine that's easy and fun to ride fast. The old Intruder, on the other hand, wanted me dead. It seemed to have two throttle positions - "idle" and "you should have been hanging on". The brakes were a suggestion. You needed a sledgehammer to make it turn. When it idled it sounded like washing machine tumbling down a flight of stairs. It broke down at least once a month. It was also the most entertaining wheeled conveyance it has ever been my misfortune to drive.

The S197 refresh is a kneejerk answer to the Camaro coming back. The 5th gen Camaro is incredibly aggressive and the LS3 was 33% more powerful than the 3v Modular. Nevermind the Dodge Challenger coming back in 2008, because it was just as retro as the S197 but sales were less than half of what the Camaro made the same year in 2010. Chevy was beating Ford in muscle car sales up until 2015 when the S550 came to market. Aggressive styling is what's popular right now.

"Why these cars crash?" Good question Mr. Regular. It all comes down to when you turn the systems off, they go off, when you enter a drift, they stay off, but as you let off the throttle, the car thinks you are about to crash and panics, turns the stability management back on, proceeds to clamp down on one front brake to try and right the car, but mostly results in being a little overzealous and causes a spin. Frustrating. Stupid. Dangerous. Especially when there are curbs, signs, and people in close proximity.

I almost never use the gas pedal when shifting into first, it just goes into first and moves when you let out the clutch. And you are so right about people who crash these things. They have no idea what they are doing or what they want. My car has 420hp/390lb ft tq stock and it has a tune. This car has scared me on a few occasions and quite simply, I don't push it hard, because there isn't enough room on any road to do so and you will probably die if you do. I let my friend who has a front-wheel drive 5sp VW Golf gti drive it and he lost control of it because he shifted into 3rd and floored it around a curve and I nearly wanted to kill him.

I have an S197 GT over here in the UK. Never sold here, so import only. One thing that always blows my mind is the difference in attitude towards this car. You guys in the states are so used to it now, that it feels like it takes videos like this to remind you good the old Stang still is. While back on our little island, driving an S197 is like driving a supercar in terms of the attention, the people taking pictures, people wanting to chat, etc. literally everywhere we go we gets a thumbs up or a wave. It's awesome! Its loud, brash, and looks outrageous on our roads, which are mostly populated by bland crossovers. I absolutely love American cars and can't wait until I can afford to buy another one.
