5 Fast Cars That Aren’t Expensive To Maintain – SlashGear

Last on this list is the Ford Mustang GT. Mustangs have sparked curiosity and imagination for decades, and the third-generation Foxbody Mustangs (built between 1979 and 1993) remain a coveted vintage ride for many. A modern Mustang GT is an excellent option for a driver seeking something with a historical pedigree, classic aesthetics, and a blazing pace on the track or road. The Mustang is likely the most expensive on this list to maintain over your car’s lifetime, with average expenditures totaling $709 annually. Even so, this price tag isn’t significantly higher than the average that drivers across the United States are likely to spend every year and, therefore, may warrant keeping a Mustang GT in the running as you search for your next vehicle.

The Mustang GT starts at $38,345 and incorporates all the classic power elements you want in a performance automobile. The GT is propelled forward through a rear-wheel drivetrain and a 5.0L Ti-VCT engine – and, of course, it’s a V8 that can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an optional ten-speed automatic. The V8 engine produces 450 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. All this adds up to a veritable rocket that remains affordable to keep in roadworthy condition.
