Mustang is obviously an oversteering monster which I think preferable the exact opposite of handling. Drifting is about defying RR grip and handling is about road holding and grip all round.

Cole Planet,

Typical American muscles as such Corvette, Pontiac, Chevy, Ford etc are good on straightlines which because they have good static alignment properties and heavy kerb which helps keep their tyre patch grasping the road. But these cars limit on high G cornering are surprisingly low due to bad dynamic alignment and bad selection of suspension kinematics for this kind of powerhorse. For example when cornering, weight transfer for Mustang would be massive thus results in high vertical force transfer to the FR and RR outer tyres. These force transfer plus directional input will generate lateral force to the tyres and all the suspension parts. Make do the Mustangs are using typical FR Macpherson Strut and RR 4 I-link, the parts would give way easily due to constant high force which in the end relies to much on the tyres. It would be just impossible for the lateral force limitation on all tyres could cater cornering at limit aka the essence of handling. Fact is, Mustangs handling can easily kene makan by the likes of Lotus Exige or might also Integras double wishbones.

Didn’t you know an american FAT guy got champion (I think) in the Drift Event with the Mustang?

It’s heavy but very powerful. The IDLE engine sound is enough to satisfy… You can hear in in various movies as well, especially in the latest movie, “I am Legend”. I’ve seen an older version Mustang in Ampang last time, it was a Thai no plate car. From very far, the sound can be heard and it’s nothing like our car engine you hear everyday, it’s totally different, unique, fierce and nice…

From the clip the wheels is silver, but from the pic the wheels is black. Which is the correct one?

because KITT is should be very similar as it was, if they bother to reproduce Night Rider in films or new TV series or whatever.

putting some 50 leds on a bonnet of ‘some’ muscle cars like KITT is not working. and will not work at all. it just the same if I put the same number of LEDs on my kancil. i’ll paint it black also. would it be something of a KITT resemblance? i’ll bet on my scorotoum – it would not.

yes, u can see those tyre smokes and great manouvers in that film, using that botox-ed KITT car. but you can do the same, lets say, in a black Chevrolet Lacetti with 50 LEDs on the front bonnet. lol

eh how come got two spoilers at the back wan? so gay???

Now get ready to see every Saga, Wira, Waja and Kancil having two spoilers with the LED lights! LOL!

erm~ i prefer the old sleek car, the new car seems so brutal…;)

I bet if it’s well-received, they’d probably continue with a series. Wonder if the soundtrack will still be the same.

Azrai, you’re right, many might take after the LED lights again, as they did some 20+ years ago. Hmmm…. a black Satria Neo, with dark rims and red LED running lights….
