Ford Mustang GT







Classic, classic, classic. It is the classic American muscle car with fame on it. Ford Mustang GT, a car built by the founder of modern car: Ford. All of us has watched Transformer, and the Police car from Decepticon definitely was a flash in the movie, yes it is a Ford Mustang GT. These pictures are taken from Houston Richman Avenue, where Ford Mustang is pretty common here. The biggest different between the Mustang and GT version is the engine (V6 and V8), and the power of course. It was a great pleasure to see it on the road, hear the roaring from the engine by myself - it is damn fierce and the shape is very nice.


Look at the classic Mustang logo and the intake nose on top of the bonet.


It really looks like a cobra snake if you see in details.


Another view of this 300hp monster muscle car.


The 4.6L V8 engine is pretty heavy and you notice that the weight distribution is not that balance.
