LOL ...... if it weren't for that POS, I wouldn't have so many reservations about making the car REAL fast. It just cost too much when you have to figure in 5 g's for the Dr. Evil tranny!

The reason for that is all in the owner. Owners of Mustangs may tend to abuse them since they are always trying to race each other. Most people use Accords as grocery-getters. Many people will say that Fords are unreliable pieces of crap...but like that post I showed in another thread, you would be surprised to see that some parts in your Hondaare likelymade by Ford
It's all about stereotypes. Honda's are known for reliability, even though many transmission in the 6th gens were aweful pieces of junk, it seems that only Honda owners know about it. Then there is always the Ford-hater's creed:Found On Road Dead. Or maybe I have just been lucky with Fords. My dad once had an old manual transFord Escort that he drove over 400k miles. Then again, maybe Ford made the crappy trannies in the 6th gen accords!

RE: mustang gt
however, i keep reading reviews and am not impressed with the mustang. i remember test driving an 05 or a 06 and it was a nice car, but i would rather settle with the porsche 911! customizing one of those would be awesome!
