Ten of the fastest Mustangs ever produced

The 2010 Ford Mustang has been tested with a 5.3 second 0-60 time and a 13.9 second quarter mile at 101.7 mph. Solid numbers indeed, but how does it stack up with other production Mustangs?

Certainly there will be more powerful iterations of the car, as Ford has already strongly hinted that it will have an announcement next month which we presume will be about the next Shelby GT500. This is great news, as the next Chevrolet Camaro seems poised to easily outrun the GT.

Motor Trend recently dug through it's old stories and brought back ten of the fastest Mustangs it has ever tested. Each of these will outrun a new GT, but to be fair, they also have their fair share of mods. Stay tuned to see what Ford has up their sleeve for the newest pony car in their stable.
