Summary
The Ford Mustang remains a great performance value. Mustang GT offers strong performance and sounds great, whether cruising or at full throttle.The Cobra version of the Mustang is fun to drive, fun to be seen in, quick, fast, and pretty loud, with excellent handling considering the age and lack of sophistication of this chassis. It's priced well atop the GT model, and gives the Mustang buyer looking for something slightly different than a run-of-the-mill GT. The Cobra is a viable alternative to the much more expensive Corvette. Ford says only 5000 Cobras will be built each year.
