2015 Ford Mustang

The 2006 Ford Mustang is one of the most impressive pony cars ever produced, with the smoothest handling and most powerful engine the model has ever had. The new design is actually more reminiscent of the original 'Stang than any modern car. Owners will be pleased with the upgraded suspension tuning making the car handle very nimbly while still being able to steer through corners with the powerful V8 engine propelling it. One of the factors that make this model car so popular is the fact that it gives buyers an opportunity to enter the performance car market without spending large amounts of money.

In 1964 Ford produced the first Mustang and Chevy and Pontiac would be the only manufacturers to try to offer a close competitor. The Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Thunderbird were able to gain a decent amount of market share, but never became as popular as the original pony car. By 2006 the Mustang would be the only one of these 3 cars in production, although the Camaro would come back in a few years.
