Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers are mostly unique in that they are designed around a heavy V8. The heavy engine, combined with the high torque they produce, requires the entire drive train - clutch, bell housing, transmission, driveshaft, rear suspension, differential, halfshafts, plus rear...

Considering the Mustang II is almost 1,000 pounds lighter than a 2015 Mustang Ecoboost, it would be interesting to see an Ecoboost 2.3L engine in the Mustang II. Unlike the V8 in Mustang IIs, the Ecoboost engine's light weight + torque/power would really make for an exceptionally potent...

Re forum, I sent you a PM. Re Mustang culture, agreed. I even had an '81 Mustang Ghia Coupe with the 3.3L inline six (200 ci -- same engine that Ford offered in the 64 1/2 Mustang) and 4-speed manual. HP was barely adequate, but had good torque, was incredibly smooth, and sounded good. If you...

Yep, that would be me! My red 2010 Mustang GT Premium with 5-speed manual below :) . .

Yes, it's supposed to be there. See this post with photos of my car (photo #6). Link to post.

Agreed. Previously, I was a member on another Mustang forum from 2010-2013 and I finally got tired of all the bashing between those who would say "real Mustangs have a manual transmission" towards someone who posted that they bought an automatic. Seemed everyone had to justify why they bought an...

Great comment re your 2013 Camaro! Congrats on your 2015 Mustang GT and welcome to the Mustang 6G club!

Yep! I also love it when the so-called experts, like Motor Trend, are proven wrong. For those that don't remember, see MotorTrend Article.

This is true. I've had one adult female (5'6") in the back on the passenger side. The back seat passenger got in first while the front passenger seat was all the way forward. Then the front passenger seat was moved back until the rear passenger had about an inch of leg room (kinda like flying...

This is my 1971 Mustang Mach 1 I referenced in my post above. . .

My first car was a 1971 Grabber Blue Mustang Mach 1 with the 351 "Cleveland" V8. Man, that car left a very favorable impression on me ever since. So, whenever I think of Mustang, I get sentimental and I feel nothing but good vibes. And, at my age, it makes me feel young, too. When I get behind...

I do have a couple of nit-picks with the article. If the writer is going to mention Mustang history in his article, he at least should spend a few minutes on the google doing their research. From the article: The writer makes it seem that "huge" V8s or "smaller but still not small" V6 engines...

Congratulations! Looks great!

As one of the old timers in this forum, I remember clearly the same kind of banter back when the 4-cyl. turbo SVO Mustangs were available from 1984 thru 1986. The 4-cylinder guys felt picked on or ignored and always had this "me too" attitude as if they constantly had something to prove. The...

Maybe he should've said there wasn't any other 2 door muscle car on the market that came close to Mustang's sales volume ...;) Calendar Year Sales Year GTO.... Mustang 2004 13,569 129,858 2005 11,590 160,975 2006 11,268 166,530

Most traditional Mustang guys get it. We love V8 muscle: The sound, the feel of acceleration (big torque from idle, NA pulls hard all the way to the redline), and the rumble. With the 2015 Mustang GT we can now have our cake and eat it, too: V8 muscle & great handling! That said, I respect your...

FYI, the 2011-2012 S197 Mustang GTs had the same feature (called "skip shift"). It was eliminated beginning with the 2013s.

Are you going to track your car? If not, I recommend you test drive a Mustang GT with base suspension and another with the PP to compare. On the track, the PP will definitely prove itself. On the street, the base suspension is definitely up to the task and handles well. The benefits of the...

At 3,400 miles, I still love mine. Take a test drive and see for yourself!

The Lincoln LS, and 2002-05 T-birds had this feature too (all share some platform architecture to the S197 and much less so to the S550).
