The Mustang To Beat Them All

 
    As most of you know by now, the 2015 Ford Mustang is here. It sure caught the whole world by surprise when Ford revealed it. While its reception has been mixed, I will not focus on its looks. Even though it looks uglier than a disfigurement, this post will focus on its competitors. First of all, I am ecstatic about a new Mustang. The old Mustang has been showing its age for some time now and better yet, the new Mustang will have proper suspension. So that’s it then, the new Mustang is the complete muscle car package. Simply put, no. Frank Davis, Ford’s engineer, told Jalopnik.com that the new Mustang used the BMW M3 and Porsche 911 as the standard




            There are copious amounts of videos that show the old Mustang being beaten by all types of vehicles on YouTube. Many auto enthusiasts blamed the solid rear axle for its inability to keep up with the competition. The 2015 Ford Mustang will come standard with independent rear suspension. While that’s good and dandy, it would be a stretch to say that the new Mustang can beat the likes of the BMW M3 and Porsche 911.



            More recently, Motor Trend named the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S the best driver’s car. Winning best driver’s car is a huge honor for any car, one, which I’m afraid, the new Ford Mustang won’t be able to do. Why did Ford have to compare their cars to German giants? Why not let your product speak for itself? The only car that has lived up to its reputation is the new Corvette Stingray. If Ford compared their new car to a Chevrolet Camaro or Dodge Challenger, everything would’ve been fine. I’m sure the new Mustang will be capable of eating both of those cars, but to compare it to automotive marvels, that’s inexcusable. Thanks to Ford, the new Mustang has large shoes to fill, here’s to hoping Ford didn’t dig themselves a grave.
