2006 Mustang Gt 0-60 Speed
January 31st, 2010
Ford Mustang Retro Cruiser Built For Speed
When Ford made a decision to redesign the Mustang, they opted to incorporate a retro look, very like what was done formerly with the Thunderbird. Fortunately, Ford failed to observe the ghastly Mustang II series from the 1970s for a template, instead the US automaker drew on the second generation Mustangs of the late 1960s for their inspiration. Let’s just say that the redesigned Mustang has been nothing short of a sell out hit.
Introduced as a 2005 model, the retro Mustang for 2006 offers just 1 change : the advent of a Pony package which is supposed to give the car a GT look and feel. Borrowing from the fastback design of the late 1960s, the 2005 model was such a triumph that Ford could not keep up with production.
Buyers have a choice between a 4.0L V6 and a 4.6L V8 engine to power the vehicle. With 2+2 seating, 107 inch Wheelbase, and a curb weight of slightly under 3500 pounds, the car cruises down the road with 210 and three hundred horses respectively.
Each engine is mated with a 5 speed manual transmission and a 5 speed automatic transmission is optional for both. 4 wheel disc brakes and optional traction control [standard with the V8] help keep the Mustang under control.
Clothe bucket seats are standard with leather seats optional. All models come with lean wheel, cruise control, power locks and windows, power side mirrors, and air conditioning.
Ford gives buyers a choice between five coupe and five convertible models with base MSRP starting at $19,810 for the coupe and $24,635 for the convertible.
First year sales of the Mustang were so good the auto sold out by early Spring. In reality, the Mustang dethroned the Chrysler three hundred as the hottest car on the market with over fifteen thousand Mustangs sold per month. All of this production is from only 1 factory.
Production for 2006 is bound to be tight and with small inducements available – they certainly are not required – the Mustang is likely to continue to have a long waiting list of customers desiring the sporty coupe. Considering that sales across the Ford division are flat, this is good news for an automaker desperately needing a hot seller.
