This has received some styling changes inside and out.The 5.0L now has more PS's[whatever they are]the smaller engine may also have this increase too.Again the 5.0L gains a 10 speed auto box and has settings for normal,sport+ and track,there are also two further programmable modes the first of which Ford call Mymode where the owner/driver can "tailor" the car to their own preferences.The second is called Drag mode which optimises the car for the drag strip :o obviously no one is going to choose this mode while waiting for the lights to change on the local high street ::) ::)

Sounds bloody awesome. If anything god forbid happens to Eeyore I'll remortgage and get one. Fek the monthly cost 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Have driven the 5 litre Mustang in the USA it was great not bad on fuel either, for the price they are I reckon they are very good value.
-
I'd find them a lot more appealing if they weren't so ugly. Too much 'design' on a car that needs 50mm sectioned out of the body.
I can't argue with the performance for the price, although I do think there should have been a bigger price gap between the 4 and 8 cylinder cars.

I love Mustang's and last year I saw a brand new 5.0 V8 in red in Sainsbury's car park, then I have occasionally seen it again going around. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I just wish...........and the mpg is not much different than my 3.2 (apparently). Oh well, dream on! ::) ::) ::) ::)

Do it, Lizzie. They don't cost the Earth.
Just don't bother with the terminally dreary the 4 pot Mustang. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Line-lock looks great fun. :D ;)

You could start another 0-60 MPH thread, Mr Bear. :)

There not that much more than a Focus RS!
But, with still questionable handling (given the power), horrific safety numbers and styling that would not look out of place on an Essex council estate.....its a bit of a Marmite car :y

Don't encourage him, he's very easily lead.

Maybe he would like a drag race against my canal boat fuelled, sludge pump driven, poverty spec, big black pussy?

Yes, a sub six second, 145mph, 300bhp car is really dreary. Makes me wonder why they bothered with the basic spec V8 which is barely any better.
-
Its a cheap way to a proper muscle V8, but the Mustang doesn't float my boat. A colleague has one (and older one, mind, LHD as well), and it suits him, as he's into all things American, and what is more Yankee than a Mustang :)
He lives within the M25, so rarely uses it, so cares not what MPG is (and hadn't the faintest idea when I asked him).

The aural pleasure of Detroit V8................. which is not to be confused with oral pleasure. :)

Rumour has it the 2.3 litre 4 pot as used in the Focus RS is a bit of an asthmatic old lump.
Whatever next?. A 1 litre 3 pot Mustang. :-\

I wouldn't call 313bhp and 430 nm of torque asthmatic ::)

why not? Traditionally they had asthmatic non-crossflow straight sixes that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Brakes and suspension that weren't up even to that 'performance.'
If you want to experience the awfulness of an early Mustang, try a 1300 automatic mk1 Escort on drum brakes.
Early Mustangs were good looking though.

4 pot Mustang never, would have to be the V8 or not at all for me.

Those EcoWank engines are, well, wank :y
We've had a few in and you have to rev the shite out of them to do anything. Sports cars (of sorts) and "eco" should go to different bars to drink!
-
It was only quite recently that I'd ever had a drive in one,but since then I've driven a fair few,mainly slightly earlier ones three of which were LHD with one of those being a Shelby.All the ones I've driven have been V8's so can't comment on the 4 pot ones and while none of them are a car I'd actually buy[because they don't suit what I need from a car] I must say that V8 soundtrack can be pretty damned addictive!

My VXR8
-
Ooops sorry about the previous post....pilot error. I was just about to say that my VXR8 has just had a little tune up,and it's now running a little north of 640 BHP safely.don't think I'll be buying the Mustang anytime soon. ;)
-

Yep. :)
However, cylinder deficiency is traditional. Even the Mk1 had the option of a wheezy 2.8 i6 with barely 100bhp. ::)
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chos

Ps; what is the 0-60 time :o :o😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Slower than my Tata. :)

0-60 is supposed to be around 4.5 secs,but I don't abuse the car as it will tear the tyres up, and tyres are well over £100+ a pop and also I'm still throwing money at the three Omegas as well,so I just drive the car steady without drawing attention to myself....if that's possible in a car that's bright Lime green. 8) ::)

You do like a challenge ;D
At least if you do give it some, you have ESP on that... I can think of another car that only has ABS and no traction control :-X Gently does it I reckon ::) ;D
-
Would the car in question be an Omega estate possibly now supercharged.? :-\ ;)

They must be Wanli 'ditchfinders' at that price. ::) ::)
A pair of rears for my car came to £540. :-\

Decent ones for my astra are around £120.

A V8 Mustang would be ideal for a young stud about town such as yourself. :)

Around £500 for the rears and £400 for the fronts for Michelins finest for the Datsun, and I`ll be needing all four in the spring :'(
