The Ford Mustang is a classic, with the very first that rolled off the Ford plant in 1964. It will be almost 50 years of celebration for this all American sport car! With the latest incarnation of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, powered by a 5.8L supercharged V8 engine, with 662hp/855Nm, it really can react as fast as a Cobra attack. Put on wings on both side, it should be able to fly too! For the past 10-year, Ford has been keeping the Mustang classic look, which is a huge success comparing to some older model with modern car look. This car is sexier than the lady! With such power, Brembo brake is standard, as well as the Tremec 6-speed manual transmisson. And if you want an automatic, go get a chic sport car, not this American muscle car.
The Mustang, will never make it to our soil, though a few units have been spotted being brought in by some parallel importers, and mostly are left-hand-drive unit, as this pony has just been made available to UK not too long ago.
Back in the USA, this car selling price starting at an almost USD55,000. Thus, even before our incredible tax structure, it is almost RM200,000. To a lot of American, with brand new cars starting from USD8,000, that's a lot of money. If it ever reach us, this could easily cost half a million ringgit brand new! So the American has a nice dream sport car, we Malaysia, always have a choice, and the choice is a Proton Satria R3!
And of course, if you want a basic Mustang, starting price is at USD22,000. And yes, before tax, at about RM80,000, you could have the most basic unit with a 3.7-litre V6-engine, that still could churn out 305hp. Now, throw away your necktie and longsleeve...put on your pair of worn jeans, a GAP T-shirt, and the Ray-Ban you already have, it is time to start dreaming! RM80,000 here could barely get you a Japanese-made car that could make about 120hp, but surely could get you a full selection of Perodua and Proton!
