Complete Ford mustang package

For 2021, ford has announced that it is resurrectingthe mach 1. The limited-edition model packs a 480-hp version of Ford's 5.0-liter V-8 that pairs with a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. The new Mach 1's heritage-inspired appearance includes a unique front end and black stripes on the hood and bodysides. The car also inherits aerodynamic elements, cooling upgrades, and other performance hardware from the Shelby GT 500 and GT500 Those who want even wider 19-inch wheels with an exclusive design and aerodynamic pieces that further increase downforce can opt for the Mach 1's Handling package—but it's only available with the manual gearbox.We think the Mustang is best appreciated with its sonorous 5.0-liter V-8, which requires either the GT model or the new Mach 1. The latter has an additional 20 horsepower (480 total) versus the regular GT models, and it has performance equipment pulled from the Shelby GT350 and GT500 that makes it more engaging to drive. Unfortunately, this puts its starting price near $54,000, so we'd recommend the regular GT coupe. Sticking with the standard manual transmission, we'd opt for the GT Performance package that adds upgraded Brembo front brakes, a limited-slip differential, stickier summer tires, unique chassis tuning, and more.

This latest Mustang generation brought with it a much-needed independent rear suspension, which replaced the archaic solid rear axle. The switch-up improves its handling and takes its ride quality to another level. Even with the less powerful engines, the Mustang's modernized chassis delivers a comfortable and controlled driving experience. For added sportiness, there is an optional Performance package for EcoBoost and GT models. The electrically assisted steering is appropriately light in Comfort mode and nicely weighted in the other two. The Mustang's brake pedal has a firm feel that we felt to be touchy in stop-and-go traffic, but it's easier to apply smoothly at higher speeds.

The most efficient Mustang is the one powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder with the 10-speed automatic, which earned EPA ratings of 21 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. The V-8–powered Mustang earned ratings of 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. In our testing, the four-banger with the manual transmission returned 24 mpg—7 fewer than its EPA rating. The V-8 with the automatic saw 24 mpg in our hands, matching its EPA number. https://www.throttler69.com/ford-mustang/
