Ford and Shelby once again proved to be a winning combination when TAWA announced the winner of the 2007 Spring Challenge. The 2008 Ford Shelby GT Mustang was challenged by over 66 different models from all manufactures in the hill country of Austin, Texas and the Ford Shelby GT won hands down.

With over 40 TAWA journalists driving 66 vehicles ranging from $16,000 to over $70,000 you definitely need to stand out in the crowd to win this top honor. In 2005, the Ford GT took the same top honors at this event.

Shelby once again has proven you can have fun driving this great icon and still get good gas mileage. The Ford Shelby GT surprised many journalists as it took the curves in the hills of Austin and was especially sure footed with lots of power to boot at 330 hp. The black and silver Shelby GT with a retro hood scope and lower stance won the hearts of many writers attending the event.

Listening to Mustang Sally on the Shaker 500 audio system is a force to be reckoned with while cruising through the hills of Austin.

The Ford Mustang has always been a vehicle with great value. This includes the V-6 model which gives customers great style, performance and gas mileage. Mustang owners in Texas have made the Mustang number one in the segment for many years. Customers may choose from many different packages like the Ford Mustang Pony, Ford Mustang Outlaw, Ford Mustang GT, Ford Mustang Warriors in Pink, Shelby GT, Shelby GT 500 and coming soon the Shelby Mustang GT 500KR King of the Road. Your choices are endless and so is the fun you can have when you experience Mustang ownership.
