Ford Mustang

Muscular engines infuse Mustang with tire-smoking performance. The 4.6-liter aluminum V8 has three-valve heads and cranks out 300 horsepower. The standard engine, a 60-degree 4.0-liter SOHC V6, produces 210 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque.

Five-speed manual transmissions are standard. The V8-powered GT is equipped with a rugged Tremec 3650 gearbox, while V6 uses the proven Tremec T-5. Mustang is also available with a five-speed automatic which provides a unique combination of off-the-line jump and good highway fuel economy.

At the front suspension, MacPherson struts with reverse "L" lower control arms deliver both comfort and control. The three-link rear suspension has a lightweight, tubular Panhard rod that provides precise control of the rear axle.

The standard four-wheel disc brakes have the biggest rotors and stiffest calipers ever fitted to a mainstream Mustang.
