Wax Poetic We can all day about the laying of rubber, grabbed the gear and closed the pompous yuppies in their expensive German machines, while enjoying the sun on our faces and wind in our hair. If you are overcome by the need to revive the high school, the GT convertible is ready. But the Mustang is also notable that the nature of comfortable daily driver that adults can appreciate, even with a manual transmission. This is not a low roof line, also is chair so closely guarded that bob in and out you and weave like Manny Pacquiao. And the line of sight on the fender does not seem so limited as that of the Brinks armored truck (see your Camaro.)
If what you want is a cool American V8 in the chassis is ready, all wrapped in cool retro style with the top folded, so it's really down to just two cars - the Mustang GT and Camaro SS. And although both have their own merits, we will take the Ford. Mustang feels more agile and have a better view outside, plus sport and ergonomics in the cabin atmosphere Chevy shame. Both in terms of fun per mile livability and day-to-day, 2011 Ford Mustang GT convertible is almost undeniable.
Performance
Low, raspy exhaust twin rumble at idle leaves no doubt that pony GT is packed some serious hardware. Switch to 5000 revolutions per minute or so the first couple of teeth and tried not to smile like a teenager. This 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 engine and make the kind of intoxicating exhaust sounds that mimicked some of us as children of car-crazy. Power output is clear and linear, producing a good strong pull from idle to redline from. Although the automatic transmission is optional, we recommend the manual transmission. Fleshy moving right through the gate shift lever and shift action as a whole feels solid, yet subtle. This is one of the best shifter out there.
Hard numbers back vocals V8, such as accelerating to 60 mph from stop only takes 5.3 seconds and a quarter mile in 13.5 seconds at 105.4 mph whizzes. So if your friend with his 428 Cobra Jet-powered Mach 1 will challenge you, tell them politely that you appreciate the friendship and do not want to embarrass him.
When equipped with the optional Brembo brake package, the GT will stop when it comes. A stopping distance from 60 mph to 120 meters or less perfect, this 3726-pound GT convertible, deed of only 116 meters. We would like pedal feel stronger for strong binding, but otherwise has no complaints to the linear, they provide smooth braking.
Reliable is part of the package was a horse car, the car feels like hunkering down when pushing through the winding roads, with only the worst bumps midcorner can get the car back angry with a heavy suspension of solid-axle. minimal cowl shake over broken pavement and the car feels solid and tight. steering is well weighted, sharp and spot-on accurate, if you feel a little less on the road. All in all, 2011 Ford Mustang GT coupe-convertible is like a sister to her - the machine balanced performance.
Comfort
Sliding behind the wheel and fiddling with power seats and tilt steering wheel, we find that getting the perfect seating position is quite simple. However, we showed a lack of telescoping wheel alignment and we would like to see Ford's add this feature to the well-equipped Mustang GT. The company, the front seats have supportive bolsters enough to keep your place in the corner without the hassle of going in and out of the car.
Helps reduce the daily grind, travel and Ford GT based Sync system. The latter responds well to voice commands and allows using the phone hands-free in an instant. If weather or traffic conditions dictate the soft top roof which is operated to increase the strength of the Mustang offers impressive both from the elements and insulation from outside noise.
Function
Even with the peak in place, visibility out 2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is not too bad, thanks to the rear window is rather large, restrictions unobstructive and mirror doors with convex elements to help alleviate blind spots. Instruments are easy to read is not retro these days, although the number speedometer and tachometer vintage-style. Most of the controls intuitive to use and feel good in the process. Audio system is much respected old-school volume / tuning button. Said system provides crystal clear sound with plenty of punch when you rock, but crazy with the volume control will produce a fuzzy bass. Connecting the iPod easy and Sync system allows you to control your voice.
Not all the aces in the cab, but, because there is not much storage space. The son of the console which is borne on the small side and there is no open cubbies with the exception of the shallow door pockets. Thus, the cup holders do double duty for phone, key card and power bars. At 9.6 cubic meters, but the trunk capacity eligible for conversion. And equally important, is easily accessible through, wide open low-Fri. The Camaro convertible offers a bit more capacity, but the portal looks like something you dropped an envelope or small parcel.
Design / Fit and finish
Last year refreshed exterior styling, take a few details of nostalgia, the Mustang looks more muscular. back now considering the hips of the Mustang from the 1960's, while the rear lights have a sequence of three iconic elements of the "road" blinders, like an old Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar.
This cabin truly luxurious than previous Mustangs. High quality soft-touch material found on the dashboard, door panels and consoles. And instead of plastic painted silver, the Mustang has a real metal trim on the steering wheel and dashboard, which promotes a sense of quality. Premier Choice bright trim it by adding lines and contrast stitching on the seats and chrome horse badge on the door panel.
