Cheaper performance coupe
The Ford Mustang GT, with its 5.0-liter 420-horsepower V8 comes pretty close to the AMG in terms of performance, considering it costs about half as much. Yes, the G63's bigger 6.3-liter V8 has somewhat more horsepower and a good bit more torque. But the Mustang is also 440 pounds lighter which is probably one reason it can launch itself from zero to 60 miles an hour almost as quickly as the Mercedes, according to AOL Autos.
Now, despite an improved level of interior quality, the Mustang isn't about to be passed off as a luxury automobile. It's unlikely many Mustang owners are bothered by that.
