Detailed review: |
If you are looking for performance bang-for-the-buck, look no further. The Mustang Cobra offers Corvette level performance for a little over half the price. With less than $1000 in upgrades, you can produce well over 500hp and 500 lb-ft of torque (at the flywheel). Sure, the plastic interior is cheap. Yes, it's noisy. It's supposed to be. It's a sports car, not a Lexus four door sedan. People complaining in their reviews about gas mileage should wake up and smell the coffee. This car has a supercharged V8. Did you expect the fuel economy of a Civic Hybrid from a car making over 400hp from the factory? Of course not! Overall, they are a wonderful value in American horsepower. |
