2010 Ford Mustang Sneak Preview!!
Ford has dished out secrets on their new 2010 Mustang. It is a good looking update of the smart S197 shell that took us away from the legendary FOX platform. The grille is a nice update of the fabled 1969 Mustang with quad lights and blackened grille treatment. The rear fascia is muscular and instantly identifiable as a Mustang. The overall shape has a pronounced fastback appearance. Late model Mustang fanciers will be happy. Inside the car has been given an interesting look with twin instrument dash pod similar to the 1968 dash. Unlike the 1968, it has a strong performance feel instead of the Thunderbird elegance Ford was aiming for back in the day. The performance specs are what you really want to read. It does not disappoint. Is it still a V8? Of course. Try 315 horsepower with 325 lbs-ft of torque. The base V6 supplies more than enough power with 210 hp. Word has it there may be an intermediate turbo powered V6 engine offered down the road. Your transmission choices are five speed in automatic or manual forms.
As for performance handling, Ford offers two distinct packages. These packs include items such as the Shelby GT 500 components, re tuned shocks and struts, 19 inch wheels and performance brake pads. The GT suspension will be based on the Bullit set up which is a nice upgrade in itself. Look for a real strong heads up battle between Ford and Chevrolet's Camaro for these pony car titans. Dodge's Challenger has the biggest V8 but it remains to be seen how well it can handle against these two new players.
