For over 50 years, the Ford Mustang has been the standard for American Muscle cars. Over the years, its classic design has found over 10 million owners. Currently, the Mustang has been the best selling American Sports car for many years. The iconic 5.0L V8 engine has become a legend on its own. Though a huge fan of the Ecoboost engines, I was delighted to get a week in the new GT Coupe premium model with the 5.0. The GT model Mustang had a 10-speed automatic transmission and gets an EPA rated 25 MPG on the highway. The 5.0 L V8 engine has 460 “mustangs” under the hood and makes 420 lb-ft of torque. There were so many great features in the GT coupe that I enjoyed. You get multiple driving modes including track and drag strip. I loved the hood vents, the 19” wheels, the quad-tip dual exhaust system, sync 3 and so much more. The base price on the Mustang GT Coupe Premium is $39,355. The model I drove around Metropolitan Washington DC came with options like; orange fury metallic tri-coat, 10-speed automatic transmission, GT performance package, Magna ride, and more for a delivered price of $51,325.
