Since the 1960s, Ford Mustang has had a loyal following with excited
anticipation greeting every new model that rolls off the production
line. The car represents speed and style at more affordable prices than
other similar cars. The 2005 Mustang Supercharger is both pleasing to
look at and gives a great performance.
The design is inspired by the original models from the 1960s, giving a
retro feel that is combined with state of the art technology. The
revamped car was launched at the 2004 North American International Auto
Show, causing a stir amongst motoring journalists and people in the
industry. Subsequent reviews of the 2005 Mustang Supercharger were
favorable.
This model contains a number of features that contribute to its appeal.
There is a 3 valve 4.6 liter single overhead cam engine and a Vortech
centrifugal supercharger. There is a high flow fuel pump and an
optional air to water charge cooler that brings horse power up to
575hp. The live axle rear suspension system has been re-enforced to
give a smoother ride but it has been reported that the car does not
like to go over speed bumps and potholes etc.
Anyone who has ever driven a Mustang will know that the engine makes a
loud and distinctive sound and the 2005 Mustang Supercharger is no
exception. It is sweet music to fans of the car, who are swept away by
the 0 - 60 mph achieved in 3.6 seconds. Trials showed that a maximum
speed of 122mph was possible and the car is very good at cornering.
Frequent gear changing is required, a small price to pay for such
performance. Tires are priced at almost $300 each.
The model was nominated for the North American Car of the Year for
2005. This GT Vortech deserved a stylish television commercial to
promote it and the result was impressive. Taking advantage of digital
technology, old footage of Steve McQueen is slotted into the
commercial. Known for his love of race cars, McQueen is seen behind the
wheel of a silver 2005 Mustang Supercharger, taking it for a spin on a
winding road through a cornfield. The footage is taken from the iconic
movie, Bullitt and the commercial also pays homage to the Kevin Costner
film, Field of Dreams. The advertising tag says, the legend lives;
built for the road ahead. Everyone, on seeing this, wants to be where
McQueen is sitting. The 2005 Mustang Supercharger has mixed the classic
with the new and produced the best of both worlds.
