Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
i'll tell you this much. the 4.6 liter V8 is a pretty much bulletproof engine and will last a long time. the gas mileage on it is about 15 city, 28 highway. which isn't too bad, infact it's pretty good for a V8. now as for speed cabability: the mustang GT has about 260 horses, and 280 torque. but the mustang GT has the problem that plagues all mustangs. the solid rear axle. this technology was even outdated in 1964 when the mustang came out. but ford has continued to use it sticking with the mustang's "formula" when really if gives the vehicle terrible handling and terrible turning despite the fact that it's rear wheel drive and should lend itself to good handling. but sadly all it does is give it handling comparable to something from the 60's. companies do sell conversion kits to make the mustang a car with a live rear axle and make it able to turn on a dime. but those are expensive.
but eh, if you want a mustang, go for it. i'm not a big fan of them performance wise, but as far as reliability and drive ability goes they're easy on both ends.

Depending if you want an automatic or a manual helps a lot.
Automatics are way slower in any car.
Manuals are quicker.
It's horsepower is about 260
It gets about 18 city miles to the gallon and about 26 high way miles. That's not great but when you get a V6 instead of a 4 cylinder these things happen.
If you like mustangs than get one. They seem to fit your needs.
