When the "GT" badge goes on, plenty of content goes in, including power windows and mirrors, remote keyless entry, manual climate
control, cruise control, six-way power driver's seat and 50/50 split folding rear seat. Equipment groups and packages include Active Anti-Theft System (otherwise known as ferry alarm), Handling Package, Interior Colour Accent Package and Interior Upgrade Package. Also part of GT trim is the pair of fog lights set classically into the front grille.From the cranking of its starter to the spinning of its rear rubber, driving the 2005 Mustang GT is a full-on visceral experience. Ford really needs to take a bow for pulling off such a great looking, great performing, true-to-its-roots pony car. And did you get a look at the price? Simply the best knock'em down, drag'em out muscle car value going.
