Another Ford masterpiece. I am saying this because, Ford are usually about low end cars. Pure American Muscle this one. This is one thing Americans are known for, big engine cars with an extra bit of umpf. And I mean one of those, baby lets go cars. Kick Ass Ride. This is one of those bad boys. Very unassuming on the outside. It has this kind of rugged look about it. Very appealing to the petrol heads, but not to everyone is a gas junkie. One thing I like though, is the fact that the contours and feel can easily be transformed into an urban jungle dweller. The little horse emblem at the front has a mysterious look about it, what I do not know, Maybe this wild horse which is free to go. So whats the interior like. Bearing in mind its a sporting motor, not a lot of effort is put in the design of the interior, of these sort of cars. You might as well be sitting on a little rock, or the floor with the steering and long ugly gearshift for all we care. All you have to feel as the driver, is the muscle. But wait, these guys had another surprise.
Plain but not too plain. Matter of fact you can sit in the car feeling like you have the necessary tools to operate this machine. Nice fancy dials, a little gear shift. Diping seats that cup your assets as you sit comfortably. Caution though, cars with such rigid suspension are not for those marathon runs, your bum will go to sleep. Got the massive speakers for you to be banging as you race those streets, against those Nissan Skylines, Mitsubishi Evos and such. But all those other cars are twigged here and there, to give them the edge, but Mustang GT is straight off the line onto the street, ready to blitz. There is a back seat in some of the Mustangs but really you have no need for it. Built for the road. I just had to throw in that V8 GT engine for you to appreciate what I am talking about.
Only a beast carries such under the hood. As soon as I turned the engine , it felt like, it was about business. Revved up the engine a bit and you could feel the car shaking, and the purr was just overwhelming. Bearing in mind this is a 5.0L engine delivering 412 horsepower. Now I believe , because I was inside this machine.Any other day I would said,"What a load of waffle." As you cruise the street, it feels like you are stifling the car a little bit because, clearly you cant open her up. On the freeway it is another matter. The car just sat on the asphalt and started chewing it. I mean it just came into its own and just belted. You can get this in manual transmission or automatic. Drove the automatic one, but manual is more fun with six-speed gearbox. All the other drives could do, was watch as I sped past their cars. People I am talking acceleration to the maximum, and the Mustang GT seemed in no mood to slow down. only limiting factor was the police. When you read other publications, all you hear is this, 0 - 60 in however secs talk. Really all you are doing is imagining, but I was living the experience in the Mustang. Monster , now I know what people mean, when they say American Muscle, because it is muscle on the road indeed. Yes The Mustang GT does 0 - 60 in 4.3sec. Meaning if you are in any other car, then all you can see is dust or fumes even. So if you want to live a Quater mile at a time as the Americans so ably put it, then you can do this in 12.8 sec. This is fast , real fast. The price you pay in gallons is not bad though. 17mpg city and 26 mpg Highway
The Ford Mustang is well Sturdy to so that is a plus, and the center of gravity is really low. This means chances of this car flipping are very low, but this is not to mean go out there and act stupid especially this LABOR DAY WEEKEND. I just wonder how well the Mustang will compare with the Challenger or Camaro , to name a few. Looking really good so far. Even the BMW M3 , Audi S4, Mercedes C350, even with their price tags might not perform as well as this monster.
Very reasonably priced too, at just over $22 000.00. Petrol heads now is your chance to look at a car worth its weight in Speed and Performance.
