The MustangGT is one of those cars that speaks to you from its spotin the driveway, begging to go out for a Sunday drive. It has the power,
the suspension, the steering and the tires to make those kinds of three-hour
adventures really fun. And, reasonably well equipped at $21,140, a Mustang
GT like our test car represents one of the great performance car bargains
on the market today.
While it isn't as brutally quick as either the Camaro or the Firebird,
with the 70-hp advantage, the Mustang GT gets better mileage, is not as
noisy, rides smoother, provides better ergonomics and, in our opinion,
holds its own in construction quality. It is also less expensive than either
of the V8-powered GM pony cars. And that's why, after all these years,
the Mustang is still America's favorite.
