Poor throttle response on the new cars is a common complaint. Thottles
on the new ones are controlled by electronics and not an actual cable
connection from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. The after
market tuners chips can resolve this issue through revisions to the
computer programming. Actually, the new Stangs get 20-30 rwhp from a
custom tune and better drivability to boot.

The fox Mustangs are really a throw back to the late 60s and early 70s
muscle cars, IMO. They are fun to drive and tough as hell. What is
driving me to get a new one is that I have had convertibles on and off
since I was in college and haven't owned one for 4-5 years and really
want another one.
