Specifications
Four decades later, it still rules. Among affordable four-seaters, the Mustang GT has no real competition in looks, power or performance. With 300 horsepower from its thunderous V-8, Ford's reborn pony car will fulfill any convertible fan's lust for power.
But the giddy-up is tamed by an updated design, which makes for a smooth ride and easy handling, and a body that would make Steve McQueen proud. When it comes to pricing, value rules the Mustang corral: The GT starts at $30,620 (you can get an entry-level V-6, 210-hp model starting at $24,495). Misfires include a cheap vinyl top with awkward latches and an overpriced optional 1,000-watt audio system.
