Squealin' with delight, power may be addictive Every Mustang GT comes equipped with a 4.6L 3-valve V8 engine that serves up a pavement-scorching 300 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. Just how fast can that much power move your? In Road & Track's testing. "The Mustang GT reaches 60 in just 4.9 sec." The 4.0L V6 engine on Mustang V6 provides a full 210hp (more than some previous Mustang GT engines) and 240 lb.-ft. of low-end torque. A standard 5-speed manual gearbox keeps Mustang true to its muscle-car heritage, while a 5-speed automatic is also available. Plus, these engines are more than 50% cleaner than the previous generation. And just wail 'til you hear 'em growl - truly inspirational.
Ford Racing - Pure Power - Road-Racing DNA Track-Proven Technology - For over 40 years now, the legendary Ford Mustang has proven its worth on the racing circuit, and the latest generation is no exception. The Mustang legacy continues with numerous victories in the Grand-Am Cup Series, including a 1st-place finish in its debut race at Daytona International Speedway. A cool performance fact: The production Mustang shares much of its DNA with the race-winning Mustang FR500C. To begin with, the racer's 5.0L "Cammer R50" engine (shown) is a derivative of Mustang GT's 4.6L V8 engine. And aside from its specialized race powertrain, the FR500C actually shares about 80% of its underpinnings and architecture with the Mustang GT. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.
