this may seem like a silly and usless questiong but ive gotta know. ive been wondering this for a while. why the hell are the steering wheels so damn big around on early mustangs¿ i thought they were supposed to be sporty and all.

If the car didn't have power steering, the bigger the wheel, the easier it is to turn.

And not only bigger for more leverage ( I guess we're all getting spoiled with p.s.! ) but usually a little fatter for a better grip. I guess we're showing our age!

Yep - that was one of the first things I changed on my car after I bought it. There are nice wood wheels available from most mustang suppliers for about $90. Comes with horn kit and is MUCH sportier to drive.
