What is the Mustang GT?

The GT is a popular trim level of the Ford Mustang that offers a significant performance upgrade over the base EcoBoost models. It is powered by a potent 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces an impressive 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine gives the Mustang GT its throaty exhaust and exhilarating acceleration.

While the GT retains the iconic Mustang styling, it features several exterior enhancements that distinguish it from the EcoBoost models, such as dual exhaust with quad tips, a raised blade-type decklid spoiler, a unique high-gloss black-painted grille, and a unique rear valence.

Inside, the Mustang GT comes standard with cloth seats and basic amenities such as the SYNC infotainment system and a 6-speaker audio system. The GT trim levels include leather-trimmed, heated and cooled front seats, a larger touchscreen display, and an upgraded 9-speaker sound system for a more luxurious cabin experience

Mustang GT Fastback

The Ford Mustang GT Fastback is an upgrade over the regular EcoBoost Fastback. The Fastbacks exterior design is a masterclass in muscular aesthetics, featuring a long, sculpted hood, a steeply raked windshield, and a distinctive fastback roofline that pays homage to the classic Mustangs of the 1960s.

Mustang FAQ

Are used Mustang GTs reliable?

Used Mustang GTs are generally considered reliable sports cars when properly maintained. The 5.0L Coyote V8 engine is a robust and durable powertrain that can withstand spirited driving.

Some standout model years known for their reliability and longevity include:

2018 and 2019 Mustang GTs received top reliability ratings and had relatively few complaints about major issues. The independent rear suspension improved ride and handling without major problems.

The 2008 Mustang GT also earned a perfect reliability score, with no glaring concerns apart from some electrical issues which are common in modern vehicles.

The 2014 Mustang GT, being the last of the S197 generation, is highly regarded for its stout Coyote V8 and overall dependability.

No used vehicle is in perfect condition. Even in reliable Mustang years, you might experience issues such as:

– Paint bubbling or peeling, especially on horizontal surfaces exposed to sunlight
– Electrical glitches with SYNC systems and sensors4
– Clutch or transmission issues if not driven smoothly

Used 2015–2016 Mustang GT coupes and fastbacks are the cheapest GTs on the market, starting at $10,000.

The GT badge on a Mustang represents Ford’s interpretation of the “Grand Touring” concept—fusing muscular V8 power with the comfort and amenities desired for spirited long-distance driving.

The 1965–1970 first-gen cars, particularly the 1967 and 1968 models, are the consensus favorites for a rewarding classic Mustang restoration.

A Mustang GT costs more than an average car due to its high-performance components. While general maintenance is comparable to other vehicles, part replacement makes the Mustang GT more expensive to maintain.

Some sports car enthusiasts prefer the Mustang GT, while others swear by the Bullitt. Let’s compare both vehicles across the metrics that matter:

– The Mustang GT features a 5.0L V8 engine producing 460 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, while the Bullitt boasts an upgraded version of that same 5.0L V8 pumping out 475 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.
– While lower in horsepower than the Bullitt, the standard Mustang GT still offers immense straight-line performance and an engaging driving experience from its powerful V8 engine.
– The Mustang GT comes with a standard Mustang interior. It also offers the familiar aggressive, bold muscle car styling that has defined the model for decades. The GT and Bullitt are available with a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
– The Bullitt features a more premium interior with unique trim details and design accents. Its exterior styling is more understated and “stealthy” than the GT’s muscular look.
– The GT and Bullitt offer the latest Ford Co-Pilot 360 driver assistance technologies. The Bullitt adds an upgraded sports exhaust system and adaptive MagneRide suspension for sharper handling and an even more engaging driving experience.

The GT features Mustang’s quintessential V8 thrills in a bold package, the Bullitt ratchets up performance with unique styling cues, a more premium interior, and chassis upgrades—all while still capturing the classic Mustang driving essence.

The Ford Mustang runs best on 91-octane regular unleaded fuel.

Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback and Premium Convertible come equipped with SiriusXM satellite radio.
