This car was hot to look at but it was a 96 and the first year of the new 4.6 liter.  Basically the design was a little flawed and not thoroughly tested as it should be.  In 98 the revised the intake which was most of the problem this brought the horsepower up another 15 from 215 to 230.  In 99 when they changed the body style again the was more improvments to the engine and that brought horsepower up to 245.  In 2001 it jumped to 265 and when the latest body style came in 2005 the horsepower was finally at a respectfull 300.  Due to the heavy weight of the car (especially a convertible adds another 600 lbs) and the price tag of it when it comes to performance the mustang has almost always been in the back of the pack.  But they have a certain nostaglia to them that makes the purchase worth while. They will always due what they were meant to do which is eat asphalt and spit burnt rubber.   Besides most people don't buy cars with racing being there main concern...

Pros: Sound, looks, nostaglia, smoke shows, drop-top
Cons: on the highway or quater-mile track there are alot of cars that would eat this thing up.

Great power and handling.  Just what I wanted to drive 3 or 4K a year.  First convertible and its great. Fun to drive, performs well.  No maintenance problems yet.  Lover the wheels with the red Mustang on them.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Just a little noisy with top up

The car is a total blast to drive. The accerlation is great and it
handle good, Whether going 40 or 80 the cars handling
doesnt change. It is a nice looking car but when some accents
are added like the back bumper inserts and running board
decals it really makes the car stand out. With the top down
you dont get too much wind on the inside of the car.

Pros: fun car to drive
Cons: not the greatest gas mileage
