2009	2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD	The GT/CS is surprisingly economical; GT500 is a profligate gas gobbler - but who really cares? see full Ford Mustang review
2008	2dr Convertible supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD	Premium fuel is expensive and mileage with a blown 5.4 is not stellar. I would not recommend this as a daily driver but it makes a hell of weekend and evening toy. see full Ford Mustang review
