2007 Ford Mustang GT California Special

by GM from Texas on Mon Feb 20 2012

If you need "cheap" speed, there are few better choices than the Mustang. Yes, it's got a telephone pole out back for a rear end but, it's better at turning than GM's old F-bodies and for me at least, it's far more comfortable than a Nissan 350z. I did consider the 350z but, I'm a big guy (6'2" and well north of 200lbs) and foundd the Nissan too small once the door was closed. The Mustang is nothing like my Raptor in terms of interior room but, the sound track from the V8 with flowmasters outback makes all other audio entertainment a non-factor. This chassis was designed for a 300hp V8 but, it really could use more power. Torque is there but, mostly at the mid to high end of the RPM range and it could use a sixth gear on the highway. Of course, these are all things that Ford addressed in the 2011 Mustang which is the same chassis with new body work and a much better and more efficient V8. While I look forward to an independent rear suspension in 2014, I hope they don't screw up everything they've gotten right in this car since 2005.

Great car for the value

by mustang guy from on Mon Jan 24 2011

This is my second mustang. The v6 is powerful and the styling is why I bought the car. Seats are comfortable for long drives. I always get looks and thumbs up. Most people don't know the difference between it and the GT model. It handles great and inspires confidence in the wet.

Fun car to own

by Black stang from Cincinnati, OH on Mon Apr 19 2010

I've had my 07 now for almost 3 years and have had only one mechanical issue with the hand brake locking up on an ice cold winter morning. Other than that I get around 24 mpg work and back and have gotten up to 28 mpg on longer road trips. I love the styling of the S197 mustang and for day-today use the V6 provides ample torque and power. My only complaints are: 1. Hard materials used on the centre console bruises the outside of my knee on long trips. 2. The live axle in the back can make for scary moments on bumpy highway on- and off-ramps.

Awesome car

by Harv from New Jersey on Thu Oct 08 2015

We bought our 2007 Ford Mustang after test driving it, and are delighted with the purchase.The car performs well. It is zippy and spiffy. The vehicle is solid and rides smoothly, turns on a dime, and makes a person come alive. Interior is pleasant, exterior is fire red. A magnificent vehicle.

HIS & HER MUSTANG GT'S

by Pairofponies from VA on Sun Sep 16 2007

My wife bought a Redfire GT coupe and was have so much fun with it, I had to test it out. I have owned several Mustangs, all 5.0 litre powered 87, 90 and 93 models. I enjoyed driving her Mustang that it brought me back into the fold after the 94-04 model which did not do anything for me. I bought a black GT coupe for myself. While I loved my 5.0 mustangs, I really love this one, or should I say pair of ponies. My recommendation, is take a test drive, don't offer to pay sticker, get it the way you like and then tease your children with it.... Ah,,, the ultimate revenge.... You can ride the school bus to school.

Great car for the money

by Mustang Enthusiast from Elysburg, PA on Wed Mar 26 2014

I bought this car used from Daves used cars in Wyoming PA and love it. It was every thing I was looking for and the salesman made it easy to own. The car is not a daily driver and was purchased as a toy. This car is fun to drive and really turns heads. With only 5751 shelby GT being built in 2007 they will be harder and harder to find a car like this.

Best Mustang made in years

by RetroMustangMan from Portland, Oregon on Mon Jul 20 2009

I had a 1967 Mustang coupe with a 289 when I was in the Air Force in Texas. When I got transferred to Alaska, I figured I needed something more robust so I sold it and bought a clunker station wagon. After the Boss Mustang years, there weren't any Mustangs that I liked the look of, so I didn't bother. Well, 40 years after that Mustang, my last child graduated from college, so without a college payment, I decided to look at Mustangs again. I liked the look of the Stangs after the 2005 makeover and when I drove one, I was even more pleased. In short, I bought it and we've been very happy together since then. My Stang is the V6 5 speed coupe which is loaded with leather, power seats, AC, premium stereo and more. The V6 has plenty of power for those times when I feel like blowing off the mini van in the next lane. The handling, while not likely to challenge a 911, is more than adequate. And it gets 30 mpg on the freeway driving 75. In short, it's fun. I get a big grin on my face when I'm rolling down the highway with the windows down and Steppenwolf is singing "Born to Be Wild". I highly recommend the V6 Mustang.

Adrenalin Rush

by Shlbmyn from Ukiah, CA on Fri Jan 29 2010

The 07 Shelby GT puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I was able to tour the Shelby factory in Las Vegas and drive the car home with my son. I mainly drive it on sunny days to the nearby redwood coast. It takes the curvy roads with ease and gets over 21 mpg. The white paint and silver stripes gets looks anywhere I go. As a Mustang driver and collector (1964 -07)for 39 years, this one is my favorite.
