1960'S - 8. 1965 FORD MUSTANG GT 289 — 5.2 SECONDS

October 1964What We Said: “Driving the hot [271-hp] Mustang is a sensational—if noisy—experience, especially with the ‘short’ final-drive ratios preferred by the drag-strip set. We got acceleration figures almost in the Cobra class with the 4.11 ratio, but this made it an impossible car on the highway. . . . Mustang salesmen will have to work harder next year, but we think the car has secured its beachhead and will go on to further conquests.”
