Could handle better and the 5.0 should be the HO like the Mustang had, but it is what it is. It still turns quite a few heads and has enough power to get me in a bit of trouble, if it weren't for the rust (its driven in the snow and is over 20 years old now) I'd keep it forever. It is a bit helpless driving in the snow, but snow tires and some weight in the trunk would fix that. It's been basically trouble free in the 8 years I've owned it and gets good gas mileage for an older V8 (even better with new exhaust and headers, the factory exhaust was rediculously undersized for this car) Still a great comfortable, RWD, V8 car as any good car should be.

This car was my very first baby. She was awful in the snow, but other than that, she was excellent. Minimal upkeep needed. Also, she had pretty decent acceleration for a non-performance, or highend, vehicle.
