Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang is an automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company, originally based on the Ford Falcon compact.

The first production Ford Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on 9 March 1964, and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17 April 1964, and via all three American television networks on 19 April.

he 2007 edition of Ford's pony car still offers a variety of trim levels, from mild (the 210-horsepower base car) to wild (the fire-breathing Shelby GT500 with a 500-horsepower V8). FORD FUEL ECONOMY

Ford will also reveal the next-generation Mustang Bullitt GT with design cues that hold true to form with the Mustang late actor Steve McQueen drove in the 1968 movie "Bullitt."

The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 is equipped with the durable Tremec TR-6060 transmission.

A 2007 GT will perform a quarter-mile test in 13.9 seconds at 103 mph with a 0-60 mph acceleration test in 5.3 seconds. This is more than likely due to the slightly increased weight of the 2007 model. The front suspension had been revised to improve steering response while the rear suspension added a three-linked system to control the vertical and lateral movements of the axle. Unlike the GT, the V6 version lacks a rear sway bar that caused severe oversteer on hard cornering.

Driving a car with a legitimate 1,000 hp on the street is nearly impossible without killing yourself and every innocent bystander around, but oh boy is it a lot of fun. Fifteen years ago, making that kind of power meant a 2,000-rpm idle, horrible street manners, and 4-mpg fuel economy. Thanks to the wonders of turbochargers and EFI technology, it's now fairly easy to make four-digit power

After all, why engage in a prolonged, deep conversation when you can just hop on Twitter, type out a 140 character message. (That previous sentence was 123 characters). Okay, I'm showing my bias now, but anyway, the online social media phenomenon has not gone unnoticed by Ford, and they've launched the Fiesta Movement, a way to promote their new Fiesta model through these media. And it's working pretty well; over the course of the past three months, they've racked up 1.8 million views on YouTube, over 270,000 photo views on Flickr (one of those was me, finding the pictures below), and 1.8 million Twitter impressions.
