Sure, they look great and they are also pretty dang fast. But if you buy a Mustang GT you run the risk of being just another run of the mill cars on the street. The problem with the Ford Mustang lies in it's popularity. Seems like a weird thing to complain about. But hear me out. You just went out and dropped 25 grand on a new Mustang GT. Chances are you'll run into another GT of the same body style on the way back from the dealsership. Part of buying a muscle car is that you're supposed to feel special. In a Mustang, you feel like a kid that went out and bought the latest fashion fad and started wearing it months after everybody else. Granted, having a sense of community with other people that have the same model car is a good thing. But I personally prefer seeing another Trans Am every now and then as opposed to seeing one once every 25 minutes. Ford just doesn't do enough with paint, trim, body paneling or engine size variation to make one Mustang stand out from the crowd. It can still be done. But it usually takes alot more money and cosmetic things like hoodscoops that don't make that small 4.6 liter V-8 any faster. Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased being that I'm a GM guy. I'd rather have somebody roll up in a Mustang than some absurb Subaru WRX with a giant wing on it anyday.
