Nothing remarkable, it includes a tire pressure meter, a small flashlight and a pen but it's not about it per se.
I had to replace the batteries in said flashlight and guess what? Turns out it had Mustang AA batteries.
For some reason I found it interesting enough to do some internet searches (and obviously to write this post).
And the interesting thing is they are made by a China company called Zhejiang Mustang Battery Co. Ltd. and apparently not related to the Ford Mustang.
But still found in an official Ford product though also made in China.
In keeping with tradition on this blog I won't leave you without pictures of the subject car - the Ford Mustang even if they come from my Gran Turismo Photo Dump.
First, here's the GT5 2007 Ford Mustang V8 GT Coup Premium.
Wearing a coat of Performance White, it is parked here in various spots at Red Bull Hangar 7.
The Ford Mustang Series 1 debuted midway through the 1964 model year and sold 1.5 million units within 18 months.
Now it appears that this 2007 Mustang based on the 2005 Mustang is a reincarnation of the Series 1 original, at least that was the intention.
The Series 1 pioneered pony car looks -- long hoods and short rear ends and this Ford Mustang still has that look. In fact, Ford had a strategy to achieve exactly that in 2005 called "Living Legends".
Engine: all aluminum.
The GT trim is the upper grade model with a V8 and an output of 300 bhp.
However, I am not sure that the long hood - short rear end layout is not obsolete in this day and age.
Pony.
GT... and auto speak GT of course stands for... Gran Turismo meaning a grand tourer, a high-performance luxury automobile for long-distance driving.
Looooong hood.
Short rear end.
And here is the 1971 Mustang Mach 1.
In Grabber Yellow.
Hasn't raced it yet, just made location photos.
However, this is not a car that the GT6 camera loves.
It is also famous for having starred in the original movie Gone in 60 Secs (a similar car but not quite).
