There's the hard-top Mustang V6 (D4/SSAR) (ride report link) which is reservable (and occasionally an upsell from D/SCAR), as well as the Mustang V6 convertible (U/RTAR, IXAR) which is also reservable. Then there's the Mustang GT Premium in the Adrenaline Collection (hard-top, W6/PXAR) which has the V8 and other good stuff.
If you book a Mustang (since they're all reservable), that's what you're going to get.
As for a Mustang equivalent... I guess you could say the Camaro RS (base, V6) is equivalent to the hard-top Mustang V6; the Camaro RS is occasionally given as a YF so it's technically a step or two up from the Mustang I guess. There's also a Camaro convertible (again, baseline, V6) that's tagged U so that's equivalent to the V6 convertible Mustang. In the Adrenaline Collection there's the Camaro SS in both hard-top (W4/PBAR) and convertible (XTAR) models, so I guess that's the closest you'll get. There's the Challenger R/T but I don't feel like it's really compatible; nor is the Corvette, which IMHO is the top car in the collection.
I hope I answered your question (if only slightly)

At least you answered my question before I was able to type it. Reserved a RTAR and want to be sure that they cannot let me drive off in a Chrysler 200 or Eclipse.

Well which Mustang are you talking about?

How do I tell which has which? Is the shaker sound system any good? Also, is there a lower class car with a premium sound system? The sound system is one of my priorities in selecting a rental car.

I've had the mustang hard top V6, its just basic trim nothing to rave about. I think it goes for around $30~ a weekend day and is bookable at some airports... Costs less than Premium but more than Full size it seems.... A convertible mustang goes for $90-$110 a day for the same trim...
I would take a Camaro RS hardtop(YF) Or any luxury/prestige cars over it... Possibly even a Premium over the hardtop mustang, its a downgrade.

I hope you can get a 2013 Mustang; much improved over 2012 Mustang.

Playing MP3's
Does anyone know if the mustang will be equipped with some kind of plug to lets say plug in your ipod/mp3 player? I don't want to to go through the hassle of burning CD's just for the trip. Thanks

Base Mustangs have AUX only I believe; only V6 Premium trims and above add USB.
