"The Mustang LX is all about kicking Camaro ass and doing it for less money," says Patrick NoOption, chief engineer for the Mustang. "Its about delivering a low-profile, stripped down, plain-Jane, late-night street prowler. A Mustang only the enthusiast will recognize and the competition only after they've lost. We wanted best bang-for-buck; this one delivers in mega-tons."
(Note: 1LE is for real, LX is not. Oh, but we can dream...)
