1989 Mustang

1989 was the 25th year of the mustang; and was celebrated with... A mass air flow meter? Well that was the only thing that was really different from 88, but don't say it wasn't a good thing. This is the best thing that happened to a fuile injected stang ever. This now ment that you could tune the car, where on 86-88 they had a speed density sensor. The old sensor could not alow for more air flow.(well it could, it would idle higher) So now manifolds could be ported or replaced, and superchargers could go on. However, my car was a stock Lx 5.0 5sp. No frills. I had to fix it up, and it was cheap. Really cheap. This is the cars strongest point.
The power was ok, but for the gas it ate I would desire more. The coupe was boaring and the performance just being slightly above average today. You can see what I am saying. Its cheap... Qucik... Thats it. The car can go any where. Perfect ground clearence, this is really easy to drive almost everyday, except snow. But I will tell you if this is your primary driver, invest in tires. Lots of them. Cause the torque really means you have to have good wheels. The handling is like mush. Bobbing, and feeling to soft. Leaning from side to side, in a attempt to not over or understeer. The braking is ok, but not great. Nothing like an Iroc or a Trans am with four wheel disc. The thing is its cheap. Reliable and kind of rugged. Unlike the convertable, which has a sporty feel, the Lx coupe is like a normal car, with a load torque engine. Though this is a great car for hot rodding.
