The Ford Mustang is without a doubt the muscle car that all other muscle cars are inevitably compared to. It’s been super popular since its grand unveiling in 1964 and since then has become Ford’s third oldest running nameplate. Since its grand debut in the sixties, the Mustang has held a “hip” and “cool” reputation, perhaps the car of a rebel or a “bad boy”. One look at this ride and it’s easy to see why she is so coveted. The front grille and fascia are daring while the power dome and a dual stainless steel exhaust announce that this is a powerful car to be reckoned with. Eighteen inch aluminum wheels are standard and accentuate the vehicle’s aggressive and bold stance. The Mustang GT competes in the muscle car segment with other powerful vehicles like the Camaro SS and Dodge Challenger, but they can’t hold a candle to the Mustang’s reputation. The 2011 version sports a few cosmetic updates such as a revamped fascia and more aerodynamic engineering and a new spoiler.

The 2011 Mustang GT is fueled by a robust 5.0 Liter engine with 8 whopping cylinders which puts out 412 horsepower and 390 lb feet of torque. The engine is equipped with cold air induction which constantly feeds cold air into the engine, resulting in boosted horsepower. This car travels from zero to sixty in just 4.8 seconds. Mileage is at 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the freeway. Due to its enormous power this auto is a pleasure to drive and accelerates effortlessly.

The iconic retro Mustang design continues in the interior and is accented with lots of metallic touches while the seats are comfortable and offer excellent lumbar support. The 2011 model is very well insulated and its quieter inside the cabin when compared with previous years models. Cargo space is at a decent 13.4 cubic feet. Standard features include an air conditioning system, remote keyless entry, ambient interior lighting, Ford’s Mykey and Sync system, front bucket seats crafted out of premium leather and a heart thumping audio system with a single disc CD player. The Mustang GT’s Premium trim comes with a powerful Shaker 500 audio system, a power adjustable drivers’ seat and a voice activated communications system.

You can feel at ease driving this gorgeous auto knowing that all of the latest safety features have been included. Dual front airbags are in place along with passenger front and side bags. Electronic Stability Control works to regain and maintain control during slippery road conditions and also adjusts brake pressure as needed. The Tire Pressure Monitoring system alerts you when your tire pressure needs to be adjusted plus a SecuriLock Anti Theft system had been installed.

The Mustang is so popular that it has made over 500 appearances in the movies since its debut. It has appeared in more movies than any other Ford vehicle. If you are looking for a speedy, hot and historic car to burn up the road with, then the Mustang GT might just be the right hot rod for you. The 2011 version boasts even more power with the help of the cold air induction mechanism. The base price of the GT Mustang is $29,645, a solid price for one of the most iconic muscle cars in history.
