Hey, i'm only 15 but i am extremely interested in cars. I know a good amount of information about the engine and the differetn engines and how they work. Also i have worked hands on with engines. i love cars so much, i know thats what i wanna do when i get older. an Automotive Technician. i would just like to know your stand on Mustangs. Do you like them? Are they a good car, as in reliability and preformance? And do you have any other opinons on the car. i am talking about the new mustangs not the muscle cars or anything before 2000. Please respond, thank you

TED ted ted i didn't know there were any other cars besides mustangs.Yes they are a good dependable car but just like any other thing if you don't take care of it it won't take care of you.4.6L or the 5.4L are both good eng with very little mantance.Good Luck

The only thing about mustangs though is that they r so common. but thats fine i guess no one can control that. it just shows how popular the car is. but with the mustangs engines, the 4.6L or the 5.4L, they are very efficent r they? i mean in general american cars r nothing compared to japanese cars. for example take the Honda CRX, when it first came out. it featured a 1.8L engine and put out 180hp. thats exactly 100hp produced for every liter the car has. with the mustang 4.6L it puts out about 260hp. thats about 56.5hp per liter. the Honda CRX almost doubles the efficenty of the Mustang. why can't frd harness the technology that Honda has made and create an efficent and more powerful mustang, such as a 4.6L 460hp mustang? please respond

Answer
Ford does have the tech. but there are not allow to show it but if you look overseas you will see that the focus is the # 1 car sold there and it has from the factory  all wheel dr.,turbo or they are supper charge and they put 190hp to a whopping 244hps to the wheels but they cant have them here because it would kill the foreign car industry and thanks to our government that's why.research the lighting in 2006 all you have to do as a owner is put a chip in the comp and a set of slicks and you will have 660hp to the rear wheels .now that's what I'm talking about .
