I get it, but I don't see why it would be a thing. What cars are front engined, transversely mounted, and RWD?

None that I am aware of. It was a rather odd question either way he meant it. You could do a boxer in a rear drive car, like the Subaru BRZ, but to my knowledge no american manufacturer has produced one since probably the Corvair. Doing that would have been very newsworthy I would think.

I wanted to post a snarky response to the original question but I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of people moving over from imports. That means we're going to have a lot of new questions from people who are not familiar with the Mustang. I figure it's better to be nice and answer the question literally then to put them off (not saying anyone has here). The more the merrier!

As near as I can tell, it's pretty much only Subaru and Porsche that utilize horizontally-opposed engines currently, though I could be wrong (I probably am). I believe all other manufacturers use an inline configuration for their fours, and if it's RWD it will almost certainly be longitudinally mounted (I am not speaking specifically to the Mustang, though that is too).

The only other boxers I can think of in North American aren't automotive engines: Lycoming, Continental, etc. But the engines found in general aviation have about as much to do with modern design as they do with the Coyote.
