The Ford Mustang GT S197, produced from 2005 to 2009, marked a significant shift in design and performance for the iconic American muscle car. This generation, codenamed S197, was a complete departure from its predecessor, offering a sleeker, more modern aesthetic and improved handling capabilities. The Mustang GT was powered by a 4.6-liter V8 engine, producing 300 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This engine was mated to either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. The S197 chassis featured a fully independent suspension, a significant improvement over the live rear axle of previous generations. This allowed for better handling and a more refined ride, making the Mustang GT a more capable and enjoyable car to drive.

The 2005-2009 Ford Mustang GT S197 was a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and style. Its classic design elements, such as the long hood and fastback roofline, were modernized with sharper lines and a more aggressive stance. The interior received a significant upgrade, with a more driver-focused cockpit, improved materials, and a range of optional features. This generation of Mustang GT saw the introduction of the popular "California Special" trim level, which featured unique styling cues and performance enhancements. The S197 Mustang GT also became a mainstay in motorsport, proving its performance potential in both drag racing and road racing competitions. This generation's success cemented the Mustang's reputation as a true American icon, paving the way for future evolutions of this legendary muscle car.
