The Mustang recently celebrated its 50th birthday, but drivers are just as enthusiastic about the pony car today as they were back in 1964. The vehicle has also made its way into the garages of many celebrities, as Jay Leno, Patrick Dempsey, Charlie Sheen, Bill Clinton or Eminem.
The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American automobiles—sports-car like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks —and gave rise to competitors such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, AMC Javelin, Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda and the first generation Dodge Challenger. The Mustang is also credited for inspiring the designs of coupes such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were imported to the United States.
The 2010 model year Mustang was released in the spring of 2009 with a redesigned exterior and a reduced drag coefficient. The engine for base Mustangs remained unchanged, while GTs 4.6 L V8 was revised resulting in 315 hp at 6000 rpm. Other mechanical features included new spring rates and dampers, traction and stability control system standard on all models, and new wheel sizes.
In 2010 the Ford Mustang became Ford's Car of Tomorrow for the NASCAR Nationwide Series with full-time racing of the Mustang beginning in 2011. This opened a new chapter in both the Mustang's history and Ford's history.
