2008 Ford Mustang GT
Coupe Premium
by
K athleen C arr
The Ford Mustang is the longest surviving of the affordable
breed of classic American muscle cars. The Mustang GT
comes with a 300-hp V8 and is an absolute hoot to drive,
making all the right sounds, hanging onto comers tenaciously,
and delivering thrilling acceleration performance. The Ameri
can pony car has never been better than the current Mustang
GT.
The current Mustang is fast and agile, more so than any past
Mustangs. It delivers the bold styling, rear-drive performance
and affordability that have been Mustang hallmarks for de
cades, but it's smoother and quieter and better built than older
models. The Mustang GT will run 0-60 mph in about 5.5
seconds. The three-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine features
both variable camshaft timing andelectronic throttle control. If
you order ABS, you automatically get traction control, which
has a dash-mounted off switch for special situations, including
drag racing.
The GT Premium coupe starts at ($27,020) adds a 500-watt
six-disc CD changer and Aberdeen leather-trimmed sport
seats to the standard equipment. Not much change in the
interior from the past. Although Ford offers an optional color-
changeable instrument panel display, with 125 color schemes
to choose from. The front bucket seats are comfortable,
supportive and retentive in hard cornering.
The Ford Mustang GT looks and feels like an all-American
car, it just one of those nostalgic cars in time that has been able
to out last technology. It's quick and fun to drive and offers
combination o f style, performance, and handling that's hard to
beat for the price.
