The new 2011 Ford Mustang, which can be purchased at Minnesota Ford Dealers, was ranked number 1 out of 4 Muscle Cars.  The Mustang has a new engine, a 3.7 liter V6 that generates 305 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. and 280 pound feet of torque at 4,250.  A six speed manual transmission comes standard but an automatic is available.

The Mustang from Ford Dealers AL, comes with a pretty basic protection package.  It consists of three years or 36,000 mile basic warranty and powertrain and roadside assistance is offered for five year or 60,000 mile warranty.  The Ford Mustang which can also be purchased at Ford Salinas, received high rankings on all crash tests.  They received five stars in front and side impacts as well as rollover tests.  The Mustang is also equipped with many safety features.  Some of them include; dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, all speed traction control and Advancetrac Electronic Stability Control.  This vehicle also features MyKey.  MyKey is a system that was designed to help parents promote safe driving habits in their teens.  The MyKey system does a number of things.  Some include; limit top speed to 80 mph, disable the audio system when seat belts are not being used and it will also sound a persistent chime when the vehicle reaches 45, 55, and 65 mph.

Another Muscle Car to check out would be the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro.  The Camaro was ranked number 2 out of 4.  The Camaro LS, 1LT, and 2LT feature a 3.6 liter V6 engine that generates 312 horsepower and 6,400 rpm and 278 pound feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. 

The Camaro comes with a pretty nice protection package.  It includes; three years or 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and powertrain, roadside assistance and courtesy transportation are covered by five years or 100,000 miles.  The Camaro also did very well on crash tests.  They received four stars in frontal impact, five stars for driver side crashes and five stars for rollover ratings.  It also comes equipped with alot of safety features.  Some include; dual stage front and side impacts airbags for front seat occupants and head curtain side impact airbags for all passenger.  Not to mention four wheel anti-lock brakes and stabilitrak electronic stability control with traction.

Both of these vehicles are nice vehicle to own.  However, Ford out does Chevrolet just in safety features alone.  You really can not beat the MyKey feature.  It is designed to keep your teenagers safe while you are not in the vehicle.  It is definatly a nice piece of mind during a stressful time.

You can get a firsthand look at the Ford Fusion, Ford Mustang, and Ford Taurus the next time you stop by Mississippi Ford.  These are the Ford cars that people are researching more than other passenger cars.  To be fair, the other seven cars that people are searching for more than others include the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, Chevrolet Camaro, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry, and Buick LaCrosse.  It is not surprising to see cars from Toyota and Honda on the list, as their small passenger cars have made quite the reputation for themselves.

The Ford Mustang is one of America’s favorite cars and it is the original pony car.  While 2010 brought out some slight improvements, consumers who opt to wait to purchase the 2011 model will be really impressed.  There are three new and improved engine choices to choose from, plus the car weighs less which equates to higher performance capabilities!  The Ford Taurus was in dire need a facelift, and now that it has gotten one, Americans can’t seem to buy this car fast enough.  The improved power and safety ratings have made it an instant family favorite as well as improved the value of older models already on the road.  Lastly from Ford is the Ford Fusion.  Buyers love the fuel economy that they get from the hybrid model and the stylish design screams elegance at a bargain price.

The Ford Mustang has been something of an American beauty for as long as we can remember.  It may have had its darker days during the 1980s, but in all honesty, what brand didn’t have a bad image in the 80s?  The 2010 Ford Mustang has been estimated to stay on dealership lots for an average of 202 days, and the longer it sits there the bigger discount buyers are likely to receive.  The 2011 Mustang hit showroom floors and consumers fell in love; and out of love with the 2010 model.  The only major upgrade for 2011 was the larger 5.0 liter engine option.

The other Ford vehicle that has become a little too comfortable in their parking places on dealer lots is the F-250.  It is estimated that the 2010 Ford F-250 will sit on a lot for 169 days before being sold.  Consumers are wanting smaller cars with higher fuel efficiency.  While the F-250 is powerful and can tow more than 22,000 pounds, people aren’t paying attention to the loving attention that Ford put into their powerhouse work truck.  Many drivers report it handles smooth like a car and the fuel economy has increased in recent years.

The Mustang ranked number 1 out 4 Muscle Cars. It is the only vehicle in its class that is equipped with more than 300 horsepower to net over 30mpg. The Mustang V6 also has a new engine. It is a 3.7 liter V6 that creates 305 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 280 pound-feet of torque at ,4250. That’s a lot more horsepower and torque than what was in last year’s model, which could probably be purchased at any used Phoenix Volkswagen or at Bradenton Used Cars For Sale. Even though the 2011 Chevy Camaro, like the one’s found at Chattanooga Chevrolet, has a seven horsepower advantage, the Mustang offer’s many more safety features.

The 2011 Mustang has not yet been tested, but the 2010 model received five stars in front and side impacts as well as rollover tests. The vehicle is equipped with dual-stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, all speed traction control and Advance Trac electronic stability control. This vehicle also comes with a feature that I think all cars should come with. It is called MyKey. MyKey is designed for parents to help teach their teenagers safe driving habits. MyKey does a number of things. It will limit the top speed of the vehicle to 80 mph, it will also disable the audio system when seatbelts are not being used and it will sound a persistent chime when the vehicle’s speed hits 45, 55, and 65 mph. Pretty important feature I think if you are a parent with a driving teenager.

Ford also has a pretty good warranty package. They offer three year/36,000 mile basic warranty and five year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty, along with a five year/60,000 mile roadside assistance.

There were many more pros than cons that I found. US News states that this vehicle has a “powerful 305 horsepower base engine, best fuel economy in it’s class, more agile than muscle car rivals and that it has an attractive, retro design on the inside and out”. The only cons that were listed was that there was a slight visibility problem from the drivers seat and the back seat really wasn’t made for adults. But who can beat the MyKey feature? I know I will want it in my vehicle when my kids start to drive. It’s just a nice piece of mind.

Ford is releasing a new Mustang RTR Package that was designed and inspired by Vaughn Gittin Jr.  Gittin Jr. is a respected and successful Formula Drift driver who uses a Monster Energy/Falken Tire Mustang GT.  Previous year Mustang models may be found at a Missouri used cars dealer or at Greensboro used car lots.  Gitten Jr. knows the Ford Mustang and its racing capabilities better than anyone, and the Mustang RTR was designed by him.  The additions to the already powerful 2011 Mustang are sure to please any Mustang or racing enthusiast.

Some of the features of the Mustang RTR package include 19-inch wheels, Ford Racing Falken FK-452 tires, exclusive interior details and striping scheme, and more.  Exterior features include an aluminum rear spoiler, a front chin spoiler with splitter, side splitters, and a rear diffuser.  With these exterior add-ons, the car is much different looking than a 2011 Mustang.

The 2011 Mustang can definitely hold its own on a race track, but the feature and design additions by Gitten Jr. make the Mustang RTR even more fit for racing.  The new trim package has a K&N air filter and tuning that adds 9 horsepower to the vehicle.  It also features racing mufflers, a Ford Racing handling package, performance tuned dampers, and anti-roll bars.

The package will be available as an upgrade at selected dealerships.  Patrick Rall of Examiner.com spoke with a representative of Ford Motor Company who said that the cost of upgrading the tires, suspension, brakes, wheels, and body has a price of $7895.

With the retail cost of the 2011 Mustang expected to be at $31,000, the total cost of the Mustang RTR is expected to be around $38,895.   That’s not bad for a vehicle that features this many customized racing options and performance upgrades.  A Mustang V6 package will also be available with these same options in late 2010.

Despite this reality however, Cincinnati Ford has not had a problem selling Ford Mustang’s whatsoever. In fact, next to the F-series the Mustang’s seem to be the other major benefactor in the Ford Company’s sales.

Built with a retro-looking exterior, enhanced interior material and convenience features, as well as the Mustang’s excellent suspension and safety it has proven its worth on the road and in the Ford dealerships. Yet the cramped back-seat and greener grass in just the Chevy used cars lot has seemed to sway some consumers opinion on whether or not they want to side with Ford or another company.

There does seem to be quite a few various makes and models of Mustang’s to choose from which does appeal to the consumer. However, are there too many or just enough? Sometimes the Ford Company does seem to go over the top. The question is: are the consumers getting drowned by their efforts to provide a new Mustang for every type of buyer?

The answer to that is up to you.
