The Ford Mustang GT S197, produced from 2005 to 2009, marked a significant chapter in the iconic muscle car's history. This generation, designated as the S197, brought about a fresh design language while retaining the Mustang's core values of performance and affordability. The GT trim, sitting at the top of the lineup, offered a potent 4.6-liter V8 engine, capable of generating 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. This combination resulted in a thrilling driving experience, with the Mustang GT proving its agility through tight corners and its raw power on straightaways. The S197 GT also featured notable improvements in its handling and suspension, thanks to an independent rear suspension setup, further enhancing its dynamic capabilities. Beyond performance, the S197 GT presented a compelling package with its contemporary styling, boasting aggressive lines, a prominent grille, and a muscular stance. The interior offered a blend of sportiness and comfort, featuring comfortable seats, a well-laid-out dashboard, and a host of standard features, including air conditioning, power windows, and a premium sound system. However, the S197 era also saw the introduction of some controversial design elements, such as the controversial "three-bar" grille and the controversial “new edge” body style, which ultimately divided opinions among enthusiasts. Despite the stylistic debate, the Ford Mustang GT S197 cemented its place as a beloved modern classic, earning a devoted following for its potent performance, iconic styling, and its ability to deliver a truly engaging driving experience.
