The Mustang GT is a more powerful model of Mustang than the standard version. In fact, every generation has its own specific looks, and the Mustang GT is usually included in any new range. When the Mustang first came out, you could get the Mustang GT model with a $400 optional Hi performance parts. These cars had a V8 and usually weighed about 3,000 pounds, without anyone inside of it. The Mustang GT was also a four speed car.

When the Mustang GT came out, it was a run-way success, however, a lot of experts did not think too highly of the Mustang GT when it came out due to its weight and inferior speed to competitor models. Many parts on the car were taken right from the Ford Falcon. Of course, what drove this car's success were not the parts, but the personalization and styling.  People wanted power but looks also to have a cooler looking car than everyone else. Thus, the power was not as crucial an element.
