Designed to bring a more performance minded Mustang without having to pay up for a GT500, Ford of Mexico brings the Mustang ST to their stables.

Suspension-wise, the ST contains many parts from the Shelby GT500 and shares brakes with the Mustang GT. It uses the same engine as its regular v6 brethren, the 3.7L with 305 hp. Only a 6-speed manual transmission is offered but shorter gears boosts acceleration by 22%.

Exterior

Only two colors are offered, red and black. However it wears chromed horizontal bars on its grill with a tribar pony, different rear bumper, a faux hood scoop, white side decals with "ST", and "exclusive" 19 in wheels.



Interior
Same as a regular v6 mustang with cloth seats.

Price:

Starting at $411,800 pesos or $29,904 US Dollars

What are your thoughts on this car. Should the US market get something similar?

411,000 pesos! Holy crap!

What's a burrito cost? 1,000 pesos!

 

Where are the curb feelers?

 

MexiCAN! Better suspension, better brakes, shorter gears, and a different rear bumper...sounds like a good time to me! I think I've got a few pesos layin' around somewhere. Where can we see this "different" rear bumper?

 

Its just a V6 performance pack car with a hood scoop.

 

That pic looks like the car is speaking into a microphone..haha.. like those VW commercials with the old bug as the spokesman.

 

exactly. Thats GT V8 price territory. Why would anyone want this when you can get a 5.0?

 

I paid less for my 5.0

 

We talking base 5.0 or premium?

 

does it matter??? it's a base V6 with some feel goods on the outside...personally I'd rather have the 5.0 with cloth than the V6 with cloth...

 

 

Because SOME people will choose a V6 with PP package so they can have their goodies than take a base 5.0 without the goodies.... Yes, that really happens....sad but true. but to each his own and I won't judge them for it. i just know I have had this exact conversation with people and they have chosen the V6 with tech goodies over base 5.0

 

yeah but he interior section says same as V6 with cloth seats...that leads me to believe it's not too extensive...could be wrong anyway whatever people buy its their money!!

 

I think its kinda cool since it can talk into microphones!! I'm sure Cnet would like it since it has some tech goodies

I bought my V6 for GT money well because 6k in insurance a year was way more and still is more than I was willing or could afford to pay

 

$6k a year?

I don't pay that for 6 cars and a house! You must drive like Mario Andretti.

 

6K a year?!?!?! are you sure you didn't add a zero to that figure???

I pay $820 a year...

 

It's Mexico. The market there is different. With exchange rates, taxes, etc who knows where the V8 comes out anyway?

 

6k a year! Crazy! I pay $2800 a year and I'm 23 with reckless driving on my record... U must be flyin!

 

Oh yeah....exchange rates, taxes, etc don't apply to V6's....I forgot....

 

Yea it does, then the guy in the back with the red shirt is saying, "hold on, he's about to make a statement!" lol
