and whats wrong with that???????????????????????and a contour is still a contour,and in this case slower than a v6 mustang....so whats your point exactly?????




A Mustang needs a V-8 to be a "real" Mustang. It's an image thing.

The Contour is not hindered by 40 years of history and "legend."




This is true, the muscle car era was back in history, every muscle car had to have a V8, including the Mustang. Taking away this V8 and putting in a V6, is like taking away from the Mustang's history. When someone says Mustang, you automatically think of the nice sounding V8 engine that's in them.


Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
