Chris Harris is back, boys and girls, with another one of his classic road and track car reviews. This time he is testing the new 2015 Ford Mustang GT, a muscle car that is now officially available in the UK and therefore warrants close scrutiny by the likes of Harris.
Chris is known to like value in a car, so he was always bound to like the Ford Mustang GT which delivers that in spade. This car costs peanuts compared to similarly-powered European sports car but has more character and charm than all of them combined.
