Exclamation

I've driven a lot of different cars, often as rentals, including a new Cadillac last year.
My wifes car is a '95 Mazda 626 2 liter-4 (auto) which I drive often on errands, etc.

When I go from my '90 'Stang to a new car, of course I notice the difference in 'smoothness' and so on, but I also notice the usual lack of power and the loss of feeling that I'm really driving the car, not just steering it down the road.
There is something about a tight, even slightly harsh ride, a 5-speed in your right hand, a higher-than average rear axle ratio for quick acceleration and a very noticeable exhaust note to make one appreciate a Mustang 5.0., even over a newer, smoother, quiet car.

Can't imagine not having a Mustang V-8 to drive, at least some of the time.
My '90 LX never fails to make any drive just a bit more enjoyable.
