Only 45 units? Car makers nowadays seem to compete in making exclusive availability in smaller and smaller quantity.

Aston Martin one-77 only 77 units are made, Ferrari FXX only 29 units and the most exclusive so far are the Lambo Reventon, at merely 20 units.

I might missed others but those are that i can remember.

At least when you bought it, you can keep it at home.

Ferrari wont let u keep the FXX unless if you want to drive on a race track, then brought it back afterwards. 599XX even worse. Wont let the car out of the factory even paid for it.

Paint it in Gunmetal silver, slap black stripes & you have Eleanor.

You will understand what I mean once you have driven a small block. Until then, its an act of futility trying to reason, not unlike with a brick wall. Besides, I didn't say HP isn't important, just where the power is made in the rev band it is made adds to the characteristic of the car. Then, you have the exhaust note of a small block. All these characteristics of the engine makes the car what it is.

You wont call a Mustang a Mustang, or Corvette a Corvette etc when you fit it with a Turbo 4 even making 500hp, now would you? Ford failed big time when they fitted thier early 80's Fox bodied Mustangs with a 4 pot, even when factory forcefed. Buyers didn't accept it.

Like I said, these "pony" cars are cheap, powerful, simple and crude. For a matter of perspective a V8 Mustang cost 1/3 that of your M5. No doubt that the M5 is the "better" car. Better can be subjective, but begs the question, is it 3x better? How do you even quantify "better" when they are not even competing in the same market segment?

Could it ba a 1971 Mach 1 Fastback I saw sometime ago in Bangi? Blue with the standard stripes.

There's a MACH 1 fastback in Malaysia? Those were quite rare. I'm impressed. There were select few optioned with a 428…now that a crazy car to drive.

..bla bla bla

Seems. you fighting me in every topic i'ved reply now.. well.

If HP is not important.. so let this mustang only 100hp loooo.. because you said so huh!..

the engine is apart of technology. taht was included hp and torque..

the torque output from M3 (or any others) are also better than this 4.6l.

beside of hp itself..

low cc high hp are related matter with FC itself, even so .. we didn't ever talk FC on 'supecar', because it sound stupid right?

from the styling itself.. hermm.. not that much new.. nothing new actually.

just 'simple-tune-it', keep the same front look with little enhancement (well, i still like it). and.. the same back. the curve also remain the same.

this also the same 'design' league as camaro, and dodge…

but.. is still think it sell because the Brand of Mustang itself.

320hp out from 4.6 engine?

Nothing to shout about.. such a waste.

bmw M6 can get 500hp from 5.0 engine!

even the M3 deliver 400++ hp from 4.0 engine.

but.. it’s mustang…. the Brand sell.

its not all about specific peak HPs. I tell you, you have to drive one to appreciate it. The Euro monsters and the American muscle are completely different animals (same goes to the high RPM Japanese 4 and turbo monsters).

Able to spin your rear tyres going at 120kmh in 3rd sure makes your heart skip faster. Nothing short of a highly tuned force fed engine will give you that low rpm "anytime-ready-to-smoke-yer-tires-chassis-twisting-torque" better than American iron. As a toy it is fun, but it gets old quick.

The V10 and V8 BMW engine cost magnitudes more than the simple ford. More so even the old small Block GMs.

Thats why these are so popular, big power with small budget. Of course you do throw refinement out the window. Tuners actually prefer the old "Five Oh" more than the new modular V8s.

But I agree, as a Mustang, its sold on image of glorious days past..

Looks very much like a Modern interpretation of the 69 MK1 fastback coupe. Nice as it is, I guess they could have tried to do something more unique though, like perhaps the modern interpretation of the limited run Mach1 fastback.
