Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the iconic Ford Mustang commemorates its milestone with the limited-edition 60th Anniversary package, available in just 1,965 units worldwide. While the festivities primarily resonate in the American market, Ford extends its celebration globally, recognizing the Mustang’s status as the world’s best-selling sports car.
European enthusiasts anticipate the arrival of the exhilarating 800-horsepower Mustang GTD alongside offerings like the Mustang California Special and the Nite Pony Package, enriching the Mustang experience across the Old Continent.
Stateside, each moment spent with the Mustang is a cause for celebration, whether it’s dominating the quarter-mile dragstrip or engaging in electrifying matchups against American-born rivals like the Tesla Model S Plaid. Enter The Drag Race, a burgeoning YouTube channel dedicated to capturing the pulse-pounding action of quarter-mile showdowns.
The channel showcases a diverse array of matchups, ranging from high-octane clashes between the Ford Mustang GT and the Toyota GR Supra to exhilarating battles against formidable contenders like the Tesla Model S Plaid.
Recent showdowns at Bradenton Motorsports Park’s Street Car Takeover edition feature the Mustang GT squaring off against the formidable Plaid, delivering heart-pounding racing action and unexpected outcomes.
While the Plaid secures a faster elapsed time, the Mustang GT’s tenacity and determination ultimately prevail, showcasing the enduring spirit and performance prowess of Ford’s iconic pony car. As enthusiasts debate the race’s outcome, the allure of both the modded Mustang GT and the clean Plaid beckons, inviting enthusiasts to choose between tradition and innovation in the pursuit of automotive excellence.
