A Faster Horse. Ford Mustang Documentary. Netflix
Anyone see this? Just noticed it on Netflix.
Even a non-Ford guy can appreciate the passion these guys have for their baby. Added to my queue!

Yes, I did. I'm a car guy and I enjoyed watching it.

It's a very well done doc. I'm not a Ford guy at all, Mustangs even less, but this transcends brand loyalty and gives a look at what hurdles are faced bringing a new version of an iconic car to an increasingly fragmented market.

Yes, very well done documentary. Really shows the pressure these folks are under.

I had 2 years with a vintage Mustang. Finally gave up trying to make it a decent driver.......and not just a pretty toy. Sold it and got a Miata. It is a semi-pretty toy that actually works.
Most of the PR stuff is just more crap.

This was an top notch documentary about how to bring a car to production.
If you like Mustangs that a bonus, but it stands on its own.

Really enjoyed this documentary. I'm admittedly a Ford guy, but almost by accident. I've never gone out of my way, but I have my grandpa's T-Bird, I bought a 3/4 ton Ford truck, and then I recently bought a Mustang. It's a very interesting story, and worth a watch for any car guy, not just a Ford guy.

I watched it last month.
Not being a muscle car guy I wasn't blown away by it, but did enjoy the personal looks at how various jobs insect to bring a vehicle to production. Now if they could just reduce the size of the thing! For a 2+2 they are huge! Best Les
