I got a yellow remote controlled Mustang GT like these from a Toys ‘R Us when I was a small child. I’ll never forget that day, it was a Sunday, and my daddy made me do a million chores before he bought it but it was so worth it. I loved that thing, it was beautiful and even though it wasn’t a real life automobile, using my imagination you couldn’t tell me back then that I was not driving a real one. I’d still buy one of these 26 years later

@@wx4newengland The Minidisc was not a popular option. Sony was trying to shake down both manufacturers of players and media producers for license fees (just like what happened with the Betamax and the Sony Memorystick). Additionally it had copyprotection built in, which meant that you couldn't record your own media to it without an expensive recorder hardware and again paying license fees to Sony. Affordable CD-burning was still a few years away, and the MP3 player a few years further out. USB and Bluetooth wouldn't get sorted out until the end of the 90s.

@@houseofno yeah, they tried to revive the minidisc with PSP UMDs. All PSP games came on UMDs, and naturally all Sony movies and televisions were released to UMD as portable video entertainment. Other studios ended up releasing some as well. This was during the BluRay/HD DVD format wars, so after losing out to VHS, Sony put more focus into winning that battle. What’s sad is their greed involving portable music. They had dominated the market with their Walkman, and later, Discman, but once digital music became a thing, Sony did not want to release a portable MP3 player. They had a music label division, and feared that this would promote illegal downloads of their music. But CD burners were now a thing, so portable CD players that could read 700MB data discs with MP3s could out handle the more expensive 64MB Rios and such. Apple released theirs, and even Microsoft tried with their Zune. But once iPods became the standard and digital music became more legal to obtain, Sony released a player, only it was too late.

Crazy to think that the 1964 Mustang in 1994 is almost the same age as a '94 mustang today, yet we still look at the '64 as a classic the same way we did in '94, but we don't really call the '94 a "classic" today. It's still somewhat modern.

The 1964 car is very attractive, but mechanically, it's a deathtrap and a rust magnet waiting to happen. No seatbelts, no padded dash or steering wheel, and in some cars, severely inadequate drum brakes easily overpowered by as much as 271 horsepower from a K-code 289 V8. The 1994 car is still an attractive car, and your chances of surviving a collision in a 94 car go up considerably compared to it's three decades older counterpart. Additionally, that '94 car is far more likely to still be structurally sound after three decades, even with some undercarriage rust.

I really liked the SN95 (1994 to 2004) Mustang Cobras, especially the earlier, non-New Edge pre-99 cars. The 1996 through 1998 early Cobras are among my favorite SN95 Cobras. Those front Cobra bumpers were clean looking and very well designed, a lot more distinctive than the Cobra bumpers on the 93 Fox body cars, which were very similar to the non-Cobra GT 93 cars.

At the end of the episode, only Gia was with those guys in the Mustang after DJ stopped Stephanie from going, and it’s revealed that they got into a bad accident. Danny mentions that it was a good thing they were all wearing seat belts and the car was totaled, but you can also assume that the dual airbags saved their lives.

Actually the bigger reason was that they resembled the earlier, unpopular Fox body Mustang GT "cheese-grater" tail lights. The revised '96 to '98 vertical tail lights were much more attractive and could be retrofit onto the earlier cars pretty easily. The Mustang taillights were much taller than the Camaro's and did NOT resemble them at all. If you think these two tail light designs look at all similar, you've got bigger problems.

Yes, Ford was playing with the SAE numbers in 93. But in 94 they were playing with the powerband and the cam. HP fell a bit but torque rose slightly at a lower RPM. And the throttle ratio was changed which made the car feel slower because you needed more throttle input to get the same as the 93’s.

The best looking one one was a yellow convertible with the 17” tri bar (6 spoke) wheels. One of the GT’s I retrieved from the back lot I accidentally put it in 3rd gear from sitting still.

The truth of the matter was Ford stopped taking orders for that combination due to the styling updates of the '96. Little did she know she gained a more powerful and updated car by waiting 3 months because they dropped the 4.6 in the GTs that year. She kept the car 10 years as a daily driver until she got married(bought the 2006 Explorer Limited when she got her "big job"). Her husband has turned it into a great project car now.

Many purist thought of it to be a new Probe when it came out due to the round and curvy styling(and the fact that Ford wanted to kill the Mustang in favor of keeping the Probe to better compete with the smaller and cheaper Japanese entrants of the day), but the Mustang, again, had staying power(they also wanted to kill it in the 70s as well).

The move to the Pinto platform was a very unpopular one, but it did save the car. It didn't help the Mustang II win any friends among enthusiasts that the V8 was unavailable during the II's first year (1974), nor that the V8 car gained some very unattractive, longer front fenders needed to accommodate the 302. Enthusiasts issues with the Probe were three fold: 1) it was very unpopular with American consumers that the car's future was being put in the hands of a Japanese manufacturer (Mazda) who had very little understanding of the Mustang's ponycar traditions (V8 power, rear drive, as well as the car's signature styling cues); 2) Enthusiasts did not want the Mustang to ditch its V8 or its rear drive layout, and 3) the Probe looked NOTHING like the Mustang it replaced.

Lee Iococca created the Mustang; he became a household name for 14 years, until July of '78, he was fired because Henry Ford, Sr. saw he was self-centered and pig-headed! (The 2nd generation models-1974-78-helped solify the motor division, thanks to Lee!!)

I think this is one of the best looking 90s cars. It truly reminds me of the original. This is the Mustang of my childhood. The fact that it was built on the old Fox platform was brilliant. That kept costs down but the car looked all-new. I predict the GTs will go up in value and desirability in the future.

Not really a fair fight. Even the Fox LX 5.0L was only around 150 to 200 pounds lighter than the Fox GT. The LX's 5.0L main claim to fame was a sticker a few thousand dollars less than a GT's, despite being mechanically identical cars. An '89 is also not saddled with the later car's driver's side airbag, slightly heavier sound deadening, and a slight weight boost from a tiny increase in the wheelbase. That race is too close to call. Either car could win based on better driver reflexes alone, as their other numbers were just too close to call.

I love the styling of this car. Many people don't, but i think its a really beautiful design. People complain about the SN95 being slower than camaros-firebirds of that era; of course, they used a 5.7! Imagine the disappointment at GM headquarters if it wasn't that way! Probably Ford used a 5.0 and latter a 4.6 because they were uninterested in what the competition is doing. They are right. Who cares GM and Chrysler?

I'm glad they didn't kill this off back in 1988. The looks of the 80s Mustangs weren't as sleek or sexy as the third-gen F-bodies, but the interior and ride of the Mustang were far better than the GM F-body. Sadly Ford botched the look of the car with the New Edge "update" for the 1999 to 2004 models, but won me back into the fold with the S197 2005 to 2009 car. The interior of the SN95 was definitely an upgrade over the 1987 to 1993 cars. That hardtop option didn't last long. Not only was it difficult to retrofit or swap into cars not previously ordered with the option, it was an expensive option (around $2,500 on top of the price of the convertible). Today it's extremely rare and very difficult to find.

Man these cars were so damn slow I can't believe Ford would build such a car. It truly is inexcusable as GM released their Camaro and Firebird Formula one full year before this. Yes, I understand that it takes two years to push out a line of production cars but Ford should have attached at something bolt on to get them to at least 250hp. I'll tell you this, I might have purchased a Mustang as my first truly fast car had these vehicles been worth it. My father was driving a '95 Z28 convertible in 1995 that got me wanting one so badly. I was driving a '95 Ford Taurus SHO and traded it in for my 1994 25th Anniversary Trans-Am in 96. That car for the time period was just stupid fast and tore into any 94, 95, and 96 Mustang GT like they were nothing.
