Our Take on the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT
A lot has been said about the Ford Mustang for 2007. As Ford's entry in the coupe market the Mustang (and in this case specically the Shelby GT version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 2-door Mustang is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Ford as a brand in general.
Performance
The Mustang Shelby GT is equipped with a Ford 4.6 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Ford 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.
The fuel system for the 2007 Mustang is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.
