Well Top Gear liked that car when they reviewed it, so it can't be that bad. Honestly, the whole "ricer" and associated modification thing has never appealed to me because it reminds me of the idiots who live around me in New Jersey who feel the need to take perfectly good Civics like mine and mod the heck out of them to extract that extra 10-15 HP, as if it's going to make a real difference besides the difference in their wallets. My mom's 2001 Honda Odyssey (a minivan) with its V6, could easily kick the @$$ of half the modified Civics on the road today.
I'm not sure why, but I have an affection for Mustangs (except the ugly, horrible ones made from the 80's up until recently). Most of them are terrible cars with horrible American reliability that could never possibly compete with any real sports car like a Corvette in any kind of race, but I just personally think cars like the one I posted above look and sound just extremely good...and the one thing they do have going for them is raw size and power that leaves absolutely nothing to question in terms of their ability to outrun the vast majority of cars on the road, especially ones with $5,000 in modifications and annoying, farty mufflers. Gah!

that sight beat the assorted Bentleys and Ferraris infesting the scene (by the beach, of course).
