Good Sales do not Always Equal Good Performance
After the success of the 1979 Mustang, Ford stepped it up a little with the version in 1980. However, things did not go to plan and the performance of the car was quite poor. But, on the plus side, it did sell quite a lot of them and so profits wise the Mustang didn’t do too badly.
For many Mustang fans though it marks the beginning of the forgettable years. The decade many Mustang enthusiast would just assume forget and move on to the 90’s and greener pastures and better roads. The fact that the Mustang survived these years is though a testament to the American driving publics love affair with the Pony Car.
