<p>The 2008 Mustang is an important vehicle to Ford for the coupe market segment.  The Shelby GT is a member of a series of  six trim levels for the Mustang which include Shelby GT, Shelby GT500, Base, Bullitt, and  Shelby GT500KR.  The  two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Hyundai.</p>
<p><span id="more-82"></span></p>
<h3>Engine Performance</h3>
<p>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 Tremec 5-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Mustang has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Mustang Shelby GT Statistics</h3>
<p>The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches.  It is able to seat 4 comfortably.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $19,650 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $18,256.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>Fuel is handled for the Mustang is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The gasoline is handled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The 2008 Mustang gets 24 - 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 - 17 in the city.  This is average for a coupe car.</p>
<h3>In Summary</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Ford Mustang Shelby GT sold well in 2008.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Mustang.</p>

<p>A lot has been said about the Ford Mustang for 2008.  As Ford's entry in the coupe market the Mustang (and in this case specically the Shelby GT500KR version) has maintained a good 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-60"></span></p>
<h3>Ford Mustang Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The Mustang Shelby GT500KR is equipped with a Ford 5.4 liter  eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Tremec 6-speed Transmission.  This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.</p>
<p>The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 2008 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.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Mustang Shelby GT500KR are 74.00 inches wide by 187.60 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 54.50 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  four passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 107.10 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 60,000/60 miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $19,650 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $18,256.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The Mustang Shelby GT500KR received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.</p>
<p>In 2007 and 2008 the Mustang Shelby GT500KR was availble in the exterior colors of Alloy Metallic, Black, Dark Candy Apple Red Metallic, Grabber Orange Metallic, Performance White, Silver Metallic, Torch Red, Vapor Clearcoat Metallic, Vista Blue Metallic, and  Windveil Blue Metallic.  Additional options were made available by the factory.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR sold well in 2008.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Mustang.</p>

<p>The 2008 Mustang is an important vehicle to Ford for the coupe market segment.  The GT is a member of a series of  six trim levels for the Mustang which include Shelby GT, Shelby GT500, Base, Bullitt, and  Shelby GT500KR.

<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>The Mustang Base is equipped with a Ford 4.0 liter  six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Ford 5-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.</p>
<p>The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 2008 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.</p>
<h3>Mustang Base Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Mustang Base are 74.00 inches wide by 187.60 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 54.50 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  four passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 107.10 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 60,000/60 miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $19,650, with an invoice cost of $18,256.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  two-door Convertible.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The Mustang Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.</p>
<p>In 2007 and 2008 the Mustang Base was availble in the exterior colors of Alloy Metallic, Black, Dark Candy Apple Red Metallic, Grabber Orange Metallic, Performance White, Silver Metallic, Torch Red, Vapor Clearcoat Metallic, Vista Blue Metallic, and  Windveil Blue Metallic.  Additional options were made available by the factory.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Ford Mustang Base sold well in 2008.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Mustang.</p>

It is an important car and the 2008 model is no exception. The Ford Mustang falls into the convertible for the family category. The Mustang inspires brand loyalty, and it's not unusual to have a buyer purchase Fords year after year</p>
<p><span id="more-24"></span></p>
<h3>Under the Hood</h3>
<p>The restyled Mustang GT is equipped with a  4.6-liter  eight-cylinder engine that utilizes  24 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Ford  five-speed transmission.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2007 version.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches.  It is able to seat 4 comfortably.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $19,650, with a dealer invoice cost of $18,256.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  two-door Convertible.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>

<p>The Mustang GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to highway driving.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>We Think...</h3>

<p>A lot has been said about the Ford Mustang for 2008.  As Ford's entry in the coupe market the Mustang (and in this case specically the Shelby GT500 version) has maintained a good 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.</p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span></p>
<h3>Ford Mustang Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The Mustang Shelby GT500 is equipped with a Ford 5.4 liter  eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Tremec 6-speed Transmission.  This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.</p>
<p>The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>

<p>In 2008 Ford released the Mustang Base to the car-buying market.  The Mustang came in  six configurations: Shelby GT, Shelby GT500, Base, Bullitt, and  Shelby GT500KR.  The Base configuration is powered by the 4.0-liter  six-cylinder engine, which makes 24 - 26 highway miles and 16 - 17 city.  The Mustang competes in the Coupe market segment, in direct competition with Honda.</p>
<p><span id="more-11"></span></p>
<h3>Ford Mustang Engine Specs</h3>
<p>The Mustang Base is equipped with a Ford 4.0 liter  six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Tremec 5-speed Transmission.  This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.</p>
<p>The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Mustang Base are 74.00 inches wide by 187.60 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 54.50 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  four passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 107.10 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $19,650, with an invoice cost of $18,256.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  two-door Coupe.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The fuel system for the 2008 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The Mustang Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 16 - 17 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>We Think...</h3>
<p>The 2008 model year was telling year for the Ford Mustang.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..</p>

<p>A high point in the coupe market is the Ford Mustang.  In 2008 Ford rolled out an upgraded version of the Mustang with  six versions: Shelby GT, Shelby GT500, Base, Bullitt, and  Shelby GT500KR.  Sales for the Mustang, especially the Mustang Bullitt, were brisk during 2008 and 2009.  The improved reliability and the updated styling were responsible for the increased interest.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span></p>
<h3>2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt Specs</h3>
<p>The restyled Mustang Bullitt is equipped with a  4.6-liter  eight-cylinder engine that utilizes  24 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Tremec  five-speed transmission.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2007 version.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<p>The fuel system for the 2008 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches.  It is able to seat 4 comfortably.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the Mustang is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.  This is standard in the coupe  market.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $19,650 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $18,256.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.</p>
<h3>MPG Ratings</h3>
<p>The 2008 Mustang gets 24 - 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 - 17 in the city.  This is below average for a coupe car.</p>
<p>In 2007 and 2008 the Mustang Bullitt was availble in the exterior colors of Alloy Metallic, Black, Dark Candy Apple Red Metallic, Grabber Orange Metallic, Performance White, Silver Metallic, Torch Red, Vapor Clearcoat Metallic, Vista Blue Metallic, and  Windveil Blue Metallic.  Additional options were available as special orders from the factory.</p>
<h3>Parting Shots</h3>
<p>There are several reasons why the Ford Mustang Bullitt sold well in 2008.  Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Mustang.</p>

<p>The standard warranty period for the Mustang is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.  There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 60 months or 60,000 miles respectively.  This is standard in the coupe  market.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $19,650, with a dealer invoice cost of $18,256.  This price is in line with the industry average price for a  two-door Coupe.</p>

<p>The 2007 model began the promise of the Ford Mustang.  The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Ford hopes that the Mustang Bullitt will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>
