While the new Shelby GT500 muscle-Mustang hogs the headlines this year, regular versions of Ford's Pony Car still gallop right along, with either V6 or V8 engines turning the rear wheels. The base V6 is a strong 210-hp, 4.0-litre unit, but let's face it, the rambunctious 300-hp, 4.6-litre V8 in the GT is what this car is all about. Transmission choices are 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic with either engine. For 2007, Ford is adding new appearance packages, including a California Special for the GT. Additional features include a standard auxiliary audio input jack and Sirius satellite radio, an optional DVD-based navigation system and heated leather front seats. The V6 is now available with 17-inch wheels.

Style, speed, sound and a great price
