I think of the sound. There is no other sound on earth like a Mustang. It is the only unique sound anymore. Every other car remotely close to a Mustang(IE camaros, corvettes, challengers, etc) sound either like trucks. Mustangs have a truly unique sound that no other car has.
Other than that, I think of the pony car that started it all. You go back to 1965, Carroll Shelby took the 289 hi-po mustang and made it into a race car, taking the suspension and power a bit further and making it a true racer. Whether its a quarter mile beast, or twisty carving SOB, the Mustang owns all. I dont care what youre driving, you see a Mustang, its an icon of racing. This is why the Mustang is such a bench mark. The Mustang started it all. If not for the Mustang, the sports car/muscle car industry would not be where it is today.
Honda, Chevy, Dodge, and the rest of them can suck it. Ford got it right from the get-go. The rest of them are just trying to play catch-up.

Another thing that comes up when I think of Mustangs is SALES.
Mustangs beat all sales stats when it comes to "Pony Cars" beat sales of Camaros and what ever dodge has to compete with.
Mustang beat them all in sales.I believe the Mustang was the reason for the Camaro to stop making them in the 2000's.thanks to the Mustang help
