2006 Ford Mustang Specs & Details

One year out from the redesign, the 2006 Mustang stands out among everyday traffic with its classic muscle car styling and aggressive exhaust tone in the GT model. With solid body lines, aggressive wheel fitment, a well-sorted interior, and all-around high-grade performance, the 2006 model Mustang hearken back to old-school muscle cars at their finest. From its styling to its tone, the 2006 Mustang is classic Americana throughout in the best ways possible. After proving itself last year, the 2006 model Mustang is ready to prove what the American performance car truly is.

The Mustang mainly receives changes in the form of additional paint colors moving to the options list to bring the car’s vibrance back onto the scene and make them more unique among buyers. Additionally, the Mustang brings the classic Mustang’s attitude with it through the engine choices and interior design. On the inside, the 2006 Mustang is reminiscent of the classic first-generation cars, with a sleek and retro dashboard, manual gearbox with the optional automatic gearbox’s shifter looking like the one found in the classic. With so many internal styling cues coming from the classic Mustang, the 2006 model feels like a perfect mix of new and old.

Externally, the 2006 Mustang draws immediate comparison to the original Mustang. With the low body lines and the flat rear, this generation model is the most instantly recognizable as the Mustang name in decades. The design perfectly channels the original car’s look while modernizing it and staying new enough in the market to hold the public’s attention. For the money, the Mustang is an incredible value as well at an entry price of just under $20,000 for a V6 model and $30,000 for the GT convertible with every option while competing with the likes of the RX-8 with 70 horsepower less and the 350Z which came in at an entry price at the same as the top Mustang trim.

For a car like the Mustang, this new body style is exactly what many buyers were waiting for. The fresh redesign, muscle car sound, and sports car performance all tie in together to make a seriously competitive performance car for an incredible value. With no other vehicle on the market similar to it, the Mustang also faces no direct competition, which is shaping up to make the Mustang sell better than ever before.
