Return of the Mustang

Ford Motor Co. gave me something new to dream about with their release of the 2005 Mustang GT. The new pony packs tons of bang for your buck: 300 HP for under 25 grand, and for you audio enthusiasts, a 1,000 watt audio system. The new mustang even found its way to Car and Driver's coveted "Top 10" list as "Best Muscle Car."

The new-bodied Mustangs have taken cues from the styling of the late 60's models (remember Eleanor from "Gone in 60 Seconds?") It's a good thing that Ford did away with the non-functional hood and side scoops of the 2004 models, ugh.

If that isn't enough for you, or you are a stubborn Chevy fan sworn against Ford, check out the Saleen S281-E. This heavily modified mustang is based off of the new body type but boasts 500 HP. This should car should melt even the coldest of Chevy lovers' hearts. Take that Corvette!! However, I have to admit, the new 400-HP Z06 is an amazing vehicle, but $46,555 is alot of money. That and the Mustang now being so...so perfect leads me to continue to be a "true-blue" Ford fan.
