Vehicle Description
2007 Mustang GT Coupe
With the exception of modern Mini Coopers, there may be no other
car that lends itself to customization and personal touches than
late model Ford Mustangs. Because the make has been around so long,
an endless list of aftermarket companies provide both cosmetic and
performance modifications that are essentially "plug and play" or
"snap on". More than 53,500 GT's were built in 2007 and there were,
(are), many ways to make your car stand out, and pull away from the
crowd.
For consignment, a 2007 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with a title verified
27,862 actual miles, in Grabber Orange, and containing a long list
of modifications to the engine, chassis, and appearance. The
turbocharged car dyno'd at 502.91 horsepower. Grab a chair, we're
going to squeeze this orange to see what's inside and this could
take a while.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by
the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws
to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public
highways in your area.*
Exterior
We start with Grabber Orange which alone is attention grabbing.
Then add black painted stripes that run from the fog light delete
bumper, over the top, over the rear wing, and down the rear fascia
and valance. An Eleanor hood from Kaanan gives a subtle but
aggressive bump and is held in place with pins. Side quarter window
covers are Shelby-esque scoops and pair with the body scoops to
present a racy exterior. But there's more! Smoked tail lights,
black emblems, an MMD chin spoiler and an aluminum grille add to
this car's statement of individuality. It doesn't hurt that 18-inch
black Bullitt wheels are on board to drive the point home, this
ain't your average GT. Imperfections are few with a couple of
scrapes under the chin spoiler and one scuff in the paint. Now
let's get under the peel.
Interior
Fairly standard fare inside where Ford's design is clean,
efficient, and appropriately sporty when it needs to be. The
factory bucket seats are charcoal leather, high backed and fully
adjustable. The rear seats are 2+2 configuration and the leather is
taut. Everything else looks factory original here and is spotless.
The center stack houses a standard and somewhat plain AM/FM/CD
radio and climate control panel. A beefy MGW aftermarket shifter is
in the center console surrounded by an aluminum frame in molded
plastic that also houses an ergonomic parking brake lever.
Cupholders and an armrest/storage bin complete the console. The low
pile black carpet is very nice, and the headliner looks factory
fresh. The trunk is cleanly lined with gray panels.
Drivetrain
Here's where things get a bit juicy. There's not a lot in the clean
engine bay that would broadcast modifications, for the most part
the fuel injected 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 looks fairly standard. Well,
underneath the fa�ade, our consignor lists the following components
and work: the short block was replaced and fitted forged Cobra
crank, Manley rods and pistons. The block was also honed, decked
and balanced. A SFI balancer keeps things rotating smoothly and a
Meziere electric water pump keeps things cool. A custom tune was
then uploaded by Powerhouse. There's also a Powerhouse turbo kit
with a 67mm Precision turbocharger with intercooler and blanket, a
Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump, and 39 pound fuel injectors. All that
would need to be backed by a stout transmission, right? It's a
Tremec TR3650 with a Ford Racing billet flywheel and CenterForce
Dual Friction clutch and the 5-speed manual sends power via a
Powerhouse aluminum driveshaft to a Ford 8.8" rear with 3.73 gears
and TracLoc. Power disc brakes, of course, are on all four
wheels.
Undercarriage
Modifications spread to the underside as well where CHE Performance
provided some of their chassis and suspension work. First, a
driveshaft loop is present to keep that aluminum shaft from getting
loose. There's also a 4-point cradle brace, lower rear control arms
and relocation brackets, upper rear arms, and CHE engine torque
limiters. MacPherson struts are up front and Eibach springs and an
adjustable panhard bar are in back. This is all mostly hidden from
view of course, lurking stealthily under the car. But the exhaust
that begins at headers, meets some Flowmaster FX mufflers in back
and exit through large black exhaust tips, and at the right angle,
these hint at a modified car, and likely sound like one. There are
no catalytic converters on the car. Did we mention it's all dry and
spotless underneath?
Drive-ability
We've been in 100 Mustang GT's and the cockpit of this one is not
much different. But turn the key and its bellow is quite a bit
richer than your standard GT. Around the test loop and out of
boost, it behaves like a very healthy 4.6 with great throttle
response and obvious, potential power underfoot. The handling is
stupendous, of course, and turns are taken with absolute flatness.
We're happy to report that all functions work as intended. While
Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at
the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions
will be working at the time of your purchase.
Under the orange peel, we find solid muscle. The turbocharger adds
more air than a frothy Orange Julius and the chassis and suspension
plant this car like a road racing monster. It's well sorted, well
tuned, and just a bit of a sleeper with subtle exterior cues. You
couldn't build one for the price, and this is a turnkey Mustang
that will have Shelby Mustangs wondering how you keep up. Race on
over to Classic Auto Mall, or the phone, and throw your hat in the
ring for his special car.
