America’s Pony Car Returns in Style: 2011 Ford Mustang

Redesigned for the 2010 model year, the all new 2011 Mustang gets two new engines, new transmissions and vast improvements to ride, handling, and drive noise. 2011 Mustang represents a significant improvement over the 2010 offering of America’s pony car. The Mustang has been in continuous production for 46 straight years, and more than 9 million Mustangs have been built and sold to date. That gives the Mustang the longest production run of any single model in Ford history.

Anyone who hasn’t been in a Mustang for a couple of years will want to take a look at the 2011. Much improved for 2010, the 2011 sees some interior changes that add to the overall comfort and appeal of this vehicle. The front bucket seats are significantly more comfortable and better looking than those used in the 2009 models, though they could still use slightly more lateral support. The aforementioned noise, vibration and harshness improvements have made what was once a rather loud car pleasingly quiet, though the Mustang’s all-American pony car rumble is still audible to drivers and onlookers alike.

The 2011 Mustang is offered in V6 Base and Premium models, V8-powered GT Base and Premium models, and the supercharged V8-powered GT500. Each are available in coupe and convertible body styles. V6 models use a new 3.7-liter V6 that makes 305 horsepower. GT models have a new 5.0-liter V8 that produces 412 horsepower. The GT500s have an updated 5.4-liter V8 that produces a whopping 550 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a six-speed automatic is optional on all but the GT500.

The 2011 Ford Mustang comes in three body styles: coupe, convertible, and a glass-roof coupe. Each is available in both the traditional V6 model and the V8-powered Mustang GT. Both the V6 and V8 engines are more powerful in 2011.

The 2011 Ford Mustang is at the front of the pack when it comes to performance per dollar. The 2011 Mustang V6 handles quite well and delivers power close to last year’s V8. The GT is quicker, faster, quieter and more refined than any V8 Mustang ever.

The 2011 Mustang has more features, more comfort, and more sheer performance than any previous production Mustang, and it’s priced to sell. If you are looking for muscle car power with great design ata nice price, the 2010 Mustang could be for you!
