I hear the shifting of the gears. It has a proper transmission.
I recall hearing about the fact that the traction control and stability control is actually responsible for the crashes. It seems that some part of the system remains active, while allowing the tires to spin wildly, leading to it seeing a situation it does not like and then automatically trying to intervene. Pulling the fuse makes the car behave like older cars, predictable and fun.

I see it still has the 2.3 EB offered which is a huge vote of confidence for that little engine.
Wow that was a very long video of someone trying to pin driver error on stability and traction control. Mustangs and Camaros have been plowing into walls, curbs, crowds, etc. long before traction or stability control were a thing.
I have a love hate relationship with Ford. They make some of the best looking vehicles but the problems have made me say this is the last time too many times...
Here is the GT-3 version.
It still looks like a Mustang although not sure on the Camaro-ish front fender. Not a fan of the Star Wars dash however so I snagged one of the last 23s.
Unfortunately laptops plastered on the dash is increasingly common everywhere. My wife despises it as well so she is set on a 23 Edge when it is time.

Does it? Did Ford give up on that floater in the punchbowl Chinese Gertag 6-speed and go with Tremec like they should have to start with?I hear the shifting of the gears. It has a proper transmission.
I looked at a GT during the pandemic in the winter, I could have bought it discounted. Optioned MT 6 with expensive active exhaust. Paint looked terrible, the black shiney, already swirl-scratched plastic fascia between the tailights looked like throwaway styrene, Interior - though functional and having decent ergos - looked like it would deteriorate in months. Nose with a downturned snout and cheap plastic grille was a turnoff.
This model looks good - though more than a bit GM. Finally ditched the retro interior, but, can we have some sporty elements and creativity here? Busy plasticky steering wheel needs to go. Shifter looks overdone. Nice to see the handbrake!
Anything over mid thirties $$$ is a no go. I can afford anything - but I am not stupid thinking a 60 grand car will make my life better.
I can get a nice late sixties classic 'stang with a healthy 302 or 289 in great shape for low 20's
NO smog, much less plastic, no moron gizmos, holds it value or appreciates and cheap insurance.
Not a Ford guy though.
