2007 Ford Mustang

2007 Ford Mustang GT Coupe With the exception of modern Mini Coopers, there may be no other car that lends itself to customization and personal touches than late model Ford Mustangs. Because the make has been around so long, an endless list of aftermarket companies provide both cosmetic and performance modifications that are essentially plug and play or snap on. Other owners, on the other hand, are perfectly content with the factory set up and think Ford got it right. For consignment, a 2007 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with a title verified 58,683 actual miles. This one's sporting a Procharger and many other performance parts, some of which helped it achieve a consignor stated 471 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno! Exterior The body is painted in aptly named Performance White, but that's on the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Side strobe stripes, an aggressive front splitter, big rear wing, and 18-inch black wheels add to its personalized looks and the American flags facing the correct direction on each fender are also a nice touch for this U.S. legend. A hood scoop tops the hood behind inboard fog lights in the grille, while out back, smoked tail lights hover over two chrome exhaust tips. Flared rocker panel trim adds a bit more eye candy while black side mirrors seem to disappear in silhouette. Imperfections are few and include some touched up scratches and chips, a scuff on the front fascia, and a bubble in a black stripe. Interior Carbon fiber switch panel covers occupy the otherwise standard door panels and both present well. Black leather bucket seats are up front and the material is used on the rear 2+2 and other than some minor creasing on the driver's seat, they present in very nice shape. Carbon fiber trim also adorns the steering wheel which fronts a standard GT instrument cluster with two main, deep welled gauges and others in the center. An AM/FM/CD with touchscreen is in the center stack over the A/C dials and a Barton shifter now resides on the center console, robust and ready to go. Black carpet below, a gray foam formed headliner above, and a gray paneled finished trunk complete our tour of this clean interior. Drivetrain Now it's time to get down and dirty, but we'll do it in a clean engine bay that's housing the 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 now featuring an appendage in form of a Procharger P1SC and a 10 pound pulley. To feed this beast, an MMR 880 fuel system has been added that includes an Aeromotive Boost A pump and fuel rails. It's mated to a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission routing power to the Ford 8.8 in back with 3.73 gears and TracLoc. All good for 471 horsepower. Undercarriage Plenty of mods down here where things are also clean. We have headers that lead to dual exhaust, Borla mufflers, and polished tips. The power disc brakes are not merely mortal but include Powerstop Z23 Performance Evolution carbon ceramic pads as well as drilled and slotted rotors. Suspension include goodies such as a Ford Performance strut tower brace, Macpherson struts in front, SR rear shock brake, and a C&L adjustable panhard bar accompanying the coil springs for suspension in back. Drive-Ability A great sounding exhaust accompanies the start up of the V8 and into boost, we imagine that's accompanied by a supercharger whine, a sound more desirable than a Carrie Underwood ballad. Meanwhile, there's good power even without engaging the forced air and of course, handling is vastly improved over your stock GT. The tame interior will lull you into relaxation until you put your right foot down and hit a corner. All functions in this '07 work as they should and it's back to the stable for this racehorse. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Tasteful and fruit bearing modifications have been made here, and the exterior is subtle enough to still present as som
