Ford Mustang GT





American muscle cars 60 and 70 the years have always been a very specific. A big engine with a brutal, incredibly low litter performance, two valve technology OHV, rubber and chassis. All these cars have a common enemy, and it was a steeper curve. In the 1980 's.


Years and the oil crisis came to the United States and these '' Mastodon '' American routes began to slowly die off one by one. The models, who replaced the legendary muscle cars very quickly, lost their reputation, personality and fame of its predecessors. The turning point was in 2005, when Ford introduced the new model Ford Mustang GT. this model was a literal reincarnation of the first generation of the car, with clear links to the Ford Mustang GT line we know so much. And 70 years and it’s given me literally shocked! I have to admit that I have never been a big fan of the American automobile industry, but for muscle cars, I always had a weakness for Ford Mustang GT and that is doubly true. It was therefore not necessary to long thinking, if we Dream Cars, the company said, offering to test the Ford Mustang GT Convertible.


It is Monday morning and I me down into the darkened garage where stands majestically, lined up side by side, sons of legend American old school. Immediately I'm heading to the white Ford Mustang GT and I meet for the first time face to face with this car. '' This car is huge! '' Said disapprovingly his muscular curves. Front Grill with a negative slant clearly dominated by a radiator grille with two round dipped-beam lamp, which is a clear reference to the Shelby GT500 from 60th in the seventh. Beige canvas folding roof is perfectly suited to the white colour of the car, and can be folded without occupied more space in the trunk. The rear part of the car is then once again escorted out in retro style, which is referenced by the-kind he rectangular lights on each side and a pair of huge exhaust tips, on fastback from the year 67.


The first thing that you absolutely, if you are not accustomed to it are the view from the car. You sit quite low in remote comfortable seats and the only thing you can see is about 1 white hood, towering in the distance. The dashboard is dominated by a round speedometer and tachometer (sub-scale for sure in miles) with chrome outer line in retro style ALA 70tky. Between the alarm clocks are also four smaller indicating battery status indicators, water temperature, oil temperature and the status of the fuel tank. Nice stylish addition is then four round chrome breaths into the ventilation, which beautifully complement the retro style of the dashboard. The weakness of the Interior is the Centre panel that doesn't like or not offend and it is seen that the ravages of time had left an indelible mark on him. The final icing on the cake is the steering wheel. 


However, in the case of the Ford Mustang GT would rather say rudder! Three-sector wheel steering wheel with very narrow wreath is just huge and so you have the feeling that you are going to drive the truck and not an American muscular convertible. Yes! This is the real America!
