The Look
Think you've seen this one before? Look closer. In its first redesign since the retro-futurist Mustand debuted in 2004, the car gets all-new sheet metal, save for the roof, with bulked-up shoulders, a more sharply creased beltline, crisp throwback tailights, and a bigger, ahem, bulge in the hood. It's the best new-look 'Stang yet. Sadly, our test driver in "sunset gold" attracted more fanboys than girls.
The Muscle
In a battle of brawn, it's no contest: The Camaro SS outmuscles the GT by over 100 horses. But Ford narrows the performance gap by coming in 300 pounds lighter. And tied to the GT's five-speed, the 4.6-liter V-8 provides enough power to fry the car's Pirellis. But the best part of a 'Stang is its roar - and for 2010 an "induction sound tube" literally pipes the signature snarl straight into the cabin.
The Drive
We put hundreds of miles on the GT in both the switchbacks of Marin County, California, and the concrete canyons of Manhattan and found that while it may not have the flash of the Camaro SS or the power (yet), this Mustang GT offers a drive that's just as - if not more - engaging, with plenty of feedback at the wheel, rail-like handling, and better sight lines.
