Year to Year Changes
2006 Ford Mustang:
For 2006, base Premium Mustangs got an optional Pony Package that included GT-style grille-mounted fog lamps, 17-inch wheels, and a rear spoiler. Base models also added a Standard trim level that came with wheel covers instead of the Deluxe's alloy wheels.
2007 Ford Mustang:
High-performance Shelby GT and Shelby GT500 variants joined base and GT models in the Mustang stable for 2007. New for '07 was a California Special Package for GT Premiums that includes unique trim and 18-inch wheels. Heated front seats were newly available options on base and GT models. A digital audio jack was also newly standard.
2008 Ford Mustang:
The 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt was a new Mustang model that paid homage to the classic Steve McQueen film of the same name. The Bullitt had a 315-hp 4.6-liter V8 and 5-speed manual transmission. Also new was the 2008 Shelby GT500KR. It entered the Mustang stable as Ford's most powerful pony car ever. It was a limited-edition coupe only available through select Ford dealers. It packed a 540-hp 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The rest of the 2008 Ford Mustang lineup continued with few changes.
