I too, would prefer better suspension to, tricked dials, but it all comes down to cost and how much you can keep cost down to survive in the business. The Japanese have that art down to a science, with just in time managment, and other effiencet management skills, to be able to afford to put certain things on a car of that price. Unfortunately, Ford, doesnt, and so in order to cut cost, they have to cut good or better parts. And lets face it, they want to make it affordable, so a lot of peep would own one, and for the 99% of peeps who own a mustang, they have no idea what is under the hood, or tires, so its not a big deal and therefore in that respect they succed....
As some car magazine i read, that tested it, said - They think Ford has taken the retro thing a bit too far!! :lol:
