Mustangs and Fast Fords
With redesigned good looks and a heavy nod towards the muscle cars of the past the Ford Mustang generates some remarkable advances in modern technology and new cars. Focusing on handling and power with an emphasis on comfort this model is the center of attention.
Heavily imitated by others such as the Chevy Camaro in an attempt to keep up with this advanced approach to blending today’s technology with the muscle cars of the past the mustang appears to be the pony at the front of the herd.
With respect to being voted the most popular among the new breed of retro versions the Ford Mustang is well deserved of this honor as it looks fantastic both inside and out.
Comfort is to be found in every aspect of the upgraded interior designs. Many of the long time Mustang fans we have spoken with have mentioned how they believe this is the best built one of all. Ultra sleek and stylish the handling is also considered by most to be far superior to that of the Camaro. Owners of the recent Ford Mustangs also say that if you drive one of these machines be prepared to get a lot of stares and get used to having a lot of people asking you questions when you go out.
With a far superior emphasis on the power to weight ratio the new Mustangs and fast Fords fast and fit with improved handling capabilities providing an overall aggressive feel when driving one.
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of those beautiful production gems which are reserved for the extremely dedicated Mustang fans while the list of standard equipment included at no extra charge remains quite impressive as well.
The standard equipment includes Mach aluminum wheels, aluminum hood with air extractors, LeMans top stripes with GT500 side rocker stripes, fog lamps, rear deck spoiler, sport bucket seats, Shaker 500 audio system including AM/FM/In-Dash 6 CD/MP3/Aux, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, Securilock Pass anti-theft system, tire pressure monitor system, personal safety system, exhaust with X-Pipe, and high performance tires.
These features only begin to scratch the surface of the long list of standard equipment found on the GT500. This model is an excellent example of a fantastic blend of retro muscle car and bleeding edge modern technology.
Some of the impressive optional equipment packages available on the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 are the DVD based navigation system which will add another $1,995 to the manufacturers suggested retail price. The premium trim package will add another $595 while the ambient lighting package will add $295 to the bottom line.
The Ford Mustang ROUSH model offers a high performance take on the Mustang. Overall the emphasis continues to be on advanced handling and power. Of these the Stage 3 has added a supercharger to the 4.6 liter V8 engine bringing the total horsepower up to 430 with a choice of 5 speed manual or automatic transmissions.
The limited edition version of the new Ford Mustang we drove offered an impressive list of standard features as well. These included custom paint, accent stripes, air dam, chrome wheels, dual exhaust, front spoiler, rear spoiler, and ground effects.
One thing about these fast Fords is that the owners of these vehicles all have mentioned the comfort and quiet they experience when cruising. The cars look great, the engines are strong and they sound great as well.
