Why does the Euro version have less HP?
I'm super happy to see Hamster driving the GT.

Don't know. Probably Europe couldn't handle the US HP.Why does the Euro version have less HP?
Funny enough, the Probe was meant to be the Mustang. After furious letters were written, Ford made a side project out of it.'I'M GOING TO THE BLOODY PUB!!' :lol:
In all fairness, it is a little ridiculous when American cars try to be something they're not. But to me the S550 doesn't quite go that far. The Probe - now THERE's an example of when this sort of thinking goes spectacularly wrong.
Slight change to headers for RHT meant a small drop of 5 hp, the rest as above.Don't know. Probably Europe couldn't handle the US HP.
Seriously, could be some emission stuff or more likely just different methods for measuring and no difference at all.
I think the MX-6 was a beautiful car. The Probe was a better driver's car, though.The Probe GT was one of the best looking Fords out of the 90s! The Mazda MX6 had nothing on the Probe being they were the same car literally...
It's 0-62 (aka 0-100km/h), so take a tick or two off that 4.8 time. Still not great, but we don't know the conditions at the time of the run.The only thing disappointing about this is that 4.8 second 0-60 time. I would assume Hammond could do better than your average Joe when it comes to the 0-60 time.
And please, no one mention the fact that the Euro version has a little less horsepower than the NA version. It's not enough to drop this engine to a 4.8 performance. Odd.
It's so much better than it was. You want to see cheap? Look at Hondas. It's like they are trading places slowly. My wife's new CRV has a very cheap interior.Let's be fair -- the "cheap interior" bit is still true on base Mustangs.
Ask me how I know. . .
It's better than it was, sure, but -- and I can't help but make this comparison -- the interior on my MY2015 Mazda 6, which cost $10k less than my Mustang, is MUCH better. I mean, MUCH better.It's so much better than it was. You want to see cheap? Look at Hondas. It's like they are trading places slowly. My wife's new CRV has a very cheap interior.
Couldn't have been that damn good so why did you get a New GT then ?:doh:It's better than it was, sure, but -- and I can't help but make this comparison -- the interior on my MY2015 Mazda 6, which cost $10k less than my Mustang, is MUCH better. I mean, MUCH better.
Mazda build quality: Better.Couldn't have been that damn good so why did you get a New GT then ?:doh:
Mazda build quality: Better.
Mustang fun-to-drive factor: WAY better.
I look at the Mazda and think, huh, that's a sharp-looking sedan.
I look at the Mustang and think, "unf."
Guess it depends on which models you had.Should have kept your Mazda then and do whenever people do to them and make it faster and Mazda not the great by the way had 2 of them
