Mustang as Rally Car
[ November 10th, 2009 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Videos
So Ford Motor Co contacted me and wanted to play up their 2010 Mustang. Surprisingly they had a Rally style competition between two guys in Mustangs. Here’s a video of it:
Link for you RSS peeps.
Now as for the competitiveness of the 2010 Mustang, there is no actual data supporting any claims. Utecht races a 1988 Mustang in the Central Group 5 series. He is a very good driver and has been winning events (and championships in the past) and is currently in 2nd for the Central Group 5 title. Unfortunately this says nothing for the 2010 Mustang as they have completely different frames, engines, suspensions, etc…
As for Hurst, while he does work for Rally America, I have been unable to find any info on him. I still prefer the Fiesta to the Mustang in terms of a Rally platform.

Glad to have you guys back!
Proof that you can rally just about anything! I SO wish the Focus RS was coming to the USA…

Dude! You must be some kind of big league blogger if FoMoCo got a hold of you. Tell them to hook it up with a car to test ride!

Looked like fun. Question is, how competitive would that car be? Anyhow, tail out on a Mustang is always a good time.

I get that Ford is pushing the Mustang, but wouldn’t times against other cars in it’s class have been better? If the Impreza is pulling a sub 10 minute rally, then the Mustang is NOT a good rally car. All this video proves is that a rear wheel drive Ford can rally, but the Escort proved that in the WRC 20 years ago.
