When a sleek and sporty Ford Mustang passes you with its throaty burble and retro lines you wish you were seated in this iconic sports car. Well, dreams do sometimes come true in that all you must do is visit the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and see what happens. Easy as that.
You will find that the 2021
has it all, from a convertible turbo-4 edition to an insanely fast supercharged
monster. Car critics/writers give this
new Mustang great reviews starting with Motor Trend that rated it number one in
performance coupes. Consumer Reports
awarded the “Tang” one of their coveted “Check Marks” for a Recommended Vehicle
with the highest scores for Owner Satisfaction.
That what is owning a car is all about.
This new Ford Mustang looks
assertive and aggressive even in base trim and it grows menacing through GT and
most certainly in the GT500 models. Mustang performance has never been so sophisticated
or wide ranging in horsepower. The base
turbo-4 delivers 310 lively ponies and pulls 0 to 60 mph in about 6 seconds.
The GT's grow rippling V8 muscles with 480 horses in the new Mach 1 or an
astonishing 760 anxious horses in the Shelby GT500 where 60 mph is only 3,3
seconds away thanks to 625 lb-ft of asphalt eating torque. The big news this year is the return of the
very popular Mach 1 as it replaces the GT350 and the Bullitt and adds an
addition of 20 horses to reach 480 and 420 lb-ft of get-up and go torque.
What the Mach 1 also gets from
the GT350 is a Tremer six-speed manual, a track ready suspension, adaptive
dampers, and more goodies like cooling upgrades for brakes, engine and
transmission that assist in your driving excitement. The new 2021 Ford Mustang is also a
“head-turner” with retro-looks that come with rear quarter windows and roofline
cues the fastback “60's” Mustangs with a front end that's nearly as upright.
Add on those front-end flares that give the Mustang a substantial but sleek
stance and the character lines that flow into the rear end with athletic
haunches. Then your big V8 attracts attention with its crackling snorts with
the active exhaust sending waves of sound through the cabin and beyond.
This is a muscle car that you
will be proud and very happy to be in.
Hands down. The new Mustang's
interior has hints of retro styling and comes with all the tech you need to
keep in touch with the outside world.
The seats are comfy yet sturdy, especially with the premium editions
that offer leather and even Recaro racing seats.
The 2021 Ford Mustang is so
much fun to be in that you will take it for a drive just because.
