When you want to drive a car that embodies the frontier spirit, brings you a pure drive, and is one of the most iconic cars in history, you want to drive the Ford Mustang.
This car has the muscular and athletic good looks that bring you the desire to find an empty stretch of road and put the hammer down. Even when you’re faced with traffic, the Mustang can be the car that allows you to experience a fantastic drive that will bring you to your destination with style, power, and performance.
What Makes the Mustang a Car You Should Drive?
Even the Base Engine is a Powerhouse
Most muscle cars aren’t capable of reaching 300 horsepower from the base engine, leaving shoppers wanting a higher trim. The Mustang gives you an impressive 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that can provide you 310 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. Of torque. That’s some serious power coming out of the base engine.
Not only will you have more than 300 ponies in the base model, but you can also add a performance package to this trim and increase the power to 330 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. Of torque. That’s an amazing increase for the entry-level model.
Additional Power is Easy to Find
Some of the Ford Mustang names you’ll see are iconic in the muscle car world, and they should have the power to match. The GT trim gives you the classic 5.0-liter V8 engine that pumps out 460 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. Of torque.
Move to the Mach 1, and you’ll have the same V8 engine, but it’s tuned up to 480 horsepower and comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission to give you the driving feeling you want.
At the top of the list, you’ll see the Shelby GT500, which gives you a strong 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that has an incredible 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. Of torque for your ride.
Rocket Off the Line with Launch Control
In a drag race, the way you start is one of the most important aspects of the entire race. Ford gives you Launch Control in the Mustang to get that quick start you’re looking for. The rear tires will be spinning while the front brakes hold the car and when you push the button, the brakes release, pushing you quickly off the line on your way to victory at the end of the quarter-mile run.
Your Daily Drive is Smooth in the Mustang
Check the box for the MagneRide Damping System, which is made to improve the smoothness of your drive. This is the perfect item for a sports car that you’re going to drive every day. This system makes up to 1,000 micro-adjustments per second to keep the ride right and help you have confidence through the curves or when driving on a rough road. You’ll be glad to have this system in your car whether you take the Mustang through the city or have a track day scheduled.
This Car Gives you Unmistakable Style
There’s never any question of what car you’re driving when you show up in a Ford Mustang. This car has an aerodynamic, muscular shape that gives hints of classic models with the aggressive feeling that will turn heads. Finish off this signature look with a set of wheels that give this car the right style. The wheel choices include a set of 19-inch machine-finished aluminum wheels that are perfect for this car. You can also select some of the bright paint colors offered by Ford, including Grabber Yellow and Antimatter Blue.
The Tech Makes Your Drive Better in the Mustang
You’re likely going to drive your Mustang every day and want to have the technology included that makes this car easy to drive and enjoy during your commute. You’ll find connectivity to the Sync 3 infotainment system through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, or the Wi-Fi hotspot that can support up to ten devices at once.
There’s also a 12-inch digital driver information display behind the steering wheel to give you the car information you’re going to want to enjoy during your drive. This means you’ll know what’s going on with your car while enjoying the impressive qualities of the connectivity offered.
Safety is a Priority
Another reason you can enjoy your Ford Mustang’s drive every day is that you have a comprehensive safety package that will ensure you’re alerted to issues during your drive. This package is called the Co-Pilot360 system, and it brings you the warnings you’re looking for to keep you out of trouble. Your Mustang is even equipped to stop or correct your steering if you’re not responding to the alerts fast enough.
Another item you’ll be glad to have in your sports car is the adaptive cruise control system. This system allows you to stay a safe distance from the other vehicles on the road.
Enjoy an Upscale Feeling
Many sports cars focus solely on driving performance and forget that a person has to sit in the seats and direct the vehicle where it needs to go. Thankfully, the Mustang you drive brings you an impressive comfortable feeling with upscale materials and supportive items in the seats. These seats can offer heating and cooling if you like, and they can be covered in leather upholstery to offer you the perfect style and comfort for your drive.
Have the Convertible You’ve Dreamed of Driving
You can drive a convertible version of the Ford Mustang and experience the quality and fun of an open-air drive. In convertible models, all you have to do is touch a button, and the top will fold down or come back up and lock in place. This is perfect for those weekend drives in the country, a warm cruise along the beach road in the summer, or whenever the weather permits you to have the open feeling of nature entering your car. There’s just no feeling that’s quite the same as driving a convertible, especially if it’s a Mustang.
