Matthew DeBord/BI It might be love.
- I've driven three different versions of the iconic Ford $4 in the past 12 months.
- They've ranged rom the peppy $4 Mustang EcoBoost four-cylinder to the beastly Shelby GT350.
- In the end, I liked the least powerful Ford 'Stang the best.
While the $4has been around since the early 1950s - that exuberant heyday of American automotive styling - the $4, introduced in 1965, is arguably more iconic.
The mighty 'Stang has been in continuous production ever since and has recently become the world's best-selling sports car, as Ford has taken the bold two-door global.
Over the past 12 months or so, I've been able to sample three different flavors of Mustang: the entry-level turbo four-cylinder, the sweetspot GT with a 5.0-liter V8 - and the brutal Shelby GT350, with its 5.2-liter V8 engine, dubbed "Voodoo," that can make 526 horsepower and, thanks to its flat-crank design, a sweetly aggressive exhaust note.
They're all different, all fun, and all Mustang. So which did I like best? Read on to find out.
