2000 Ford Mustang GT: Ultimate Guide

2000 Ford Mustang GT

2000 Ford Mustang GT

Mustang GT’s gained the hood, side scoops and pedestal rear spoiler from the 1999 35th anniversary edition giving the car a much more aggressive appearance.

Also new was the addition of a new 17-inch alloy wheel with styling that mimicked the beloved five spoke Torq-Thrust wheels from the 1960’s. These new wheels quickly became a “must have” item for many owners of New Edge Mustang’s and proved to be a popular option.

For the 2000 Mustang GT, it’s iron block 4.6 liter engine cranked out a very healthy 260 horsepower, which remained the same as the 1999 update which came with a 35 horsepower gain from the previous year’s model.
